In two weeks I will be heading to lovely Fort Hood for yet another Annual Training. I caveat that by saying this will only be my third traditional annual training since 2002 due to OPTEMPO. I wonder what might happen.

Operation Joint Patriot better known by those who participated as Operation Joint Charlie Foxtrot. Last time the state did an actual all units AT prior to 9/11 up at Cp Edwards MA. We got to play OPFOR - bunch of wackos demonstrating outside an army base. Our S1 was carrying around a GP medium tent stake hammer as a war club. It went downhill from there.

Lets see, annual training in the Kansas National Guard. Pack up bridging equipment, kitchen, and whatever else we needed, and move smartly through town to the park at the other end (roughly 1 mile away) and set up for 2 weeks. loads of laughs for all.

Last AT I went on I had Soldiers misplacing radios left and right...they all eventually made their way back to me. Instead of just giving them back I started passing out statement of charges for them. Little did they know the NSN was for a canteen cover so I was "charging" them for $1,500 canteen covers but the Soldiers started getting the point. I even made a MSG cry lol.

This year while I was briefing my scheme of maneuver to the Battalion Commander a wall of rain came through and turned the sand table into a mud table. Shortly there after I went into my Bradley and sat there, soaked.
