Do they really march the 35 miles, (my guestimate), from NTC to the CA Veterans Home in Barstow? A Wall Street Journal newspaper photo, (Dec 13, 2018), shows a few Stetsons on the leaders and no canteens on the troops.

CSM Charles Hayden, here’s a dated, but nonetheless informative article:

LTC Stephen C. Bn there done that. Last I checked, MG Pete Gravett, former 40th ID Cdr, and earlier Provost Marshall 40th ID, was Secretary Veteran’s Department of CA.

Pete refused LT, LAPD to become a Guard employee and then !

It is real - I think they are up to their 22nd Long March.
