Pictures and pictures. Oh did I mention pictures?

Prepare for image overload!
I have about 500 more but this sums it up nicely.

I was freezing cold during a field day so I was laying on this warm platform to warm up. The instructor told me there was no sunbathing allowed at COT- he called it my iguana rock and let it slide though.

About to do the ropes course.

The entire flight posed at the beginning with a thumb's up. I was supposed to squat for it but the platform was too small for maneuvering. The pose is probably only funny if you've been down the BOT hallway at Maxwell.

The first stretch of the ropes course. I'm about ten or twelve feet off the ground I think. Each segment got higher and higher and had different ways to cross, they weren't all like this one.

Case in point. This is coming up to the final stretch of the course. I'm on the far left waiting to cross the bridge. You had to jump from plank to plank and they didn't want you to hold on!

Climbing ropes is hard work.

Napping in the shade after a hard day of rope climbing. Technically we were only supposed to eat lunch and then head back out to the field...

Posing under the sun shade.

This was funny at the time...

Briefing my flight on an obviously engaging topic. Had I not chugged a cup of coffee immediately before this things may have gone more smoothly. I turned tomato-red towards the end of it and felt like my face was on fire. Note to self: chugging coffee and then putting on an overcoat and giving a presentation is not a great idea.

Very flattering shot of the sit-up competition. We didn't win...the winner did 107 in two minutes. I won't mention what I did but it was nowhere near 107. Therefore, I don't feel bad for talking through the first fifteen or so. Even with full concentration, breaking 100 was not an option!

Eating dinner off base for the first time.

My new personal make-up artist.

Playing a little afternoon frisbee.

Hangin' at the O-Club.

Kilo's love to dance!

This was the postal officer for the flight and when he saw how many cards I was getting he asked to be adopted into the family. So this is my adopted cousin.
