Just Checkin' In

Hey folks,

I've been offline for quite a while, but such is the nature of military training. I graduated from Army Basic at the end of March and am currently in my fourth week of OCS (that's Officer Candidate School)--which means we are doing lots of running, marching, running, and some more running just for kicks. Also, about 8 hours of classes a day.

Glad to see development with the next iteration of Evochron. I should be back up and running in a few months. Until then, I plan on checking in periodically, provided they still permit us to use our laptops (a 'privilege' they like to take away whenever someone in our company messes up).

Take care folks!

Heya folks!

Just checking in from good ol' Ft Benning. 16 days 'til graduation, which means 17 days until I'm on my way home. Looking forward to flying with you all soon!

Good to hear from you again wasp! how's training? I still fondly remember my basic training days in sand hill and the road marches lol. Hope to see you soon bro. Hooah!:)

Hooah! Hey Sundalo, I want some of whatever it was you were smoking in your basic training days. I doubt I will ever look fondly upon that experience! OCS isn't too bad, however. At least they keep us busy, unlike BCT at Jackson. Plenty of 4 and 5 mile runs, lots of rucking, but it's not too bad. And it's almost over!

How long you stayed at Relaxin Jackson? Ya some reason I was lucky to have a good training company in Benning, I graduated 2003 with Echo 2/54 INF the Black Knights. Had some hilarious drill sergeants lol.

:P

I'm with Wasp on this one. "We Gotta Get Out'a This Place" was our theme song.

Is there something about EM that attracts the USA military or is it just a coincidence?

:P:P:P

Post by **Marvin** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 1:08 am

The attraction is probably this:

There are old pilots,
And there are bold pilots,
But there are no old, bold pilots.

Except in places like the world of EM.

Yep, Marv's got the handle on that one!

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P And........."Any landing you can walk away from is a good one".

Well, to be fair, I was attracted to the Evochron universe long before I had any thoughts of joining the military...

Yes ... sometimes the attraction works the other way 'round.
