there seemed to be lots of little skirmishes going on in our barracks.
I was on Flags, first as NY flag, then switched to CA (that was a hoot for parades). I try to tell friends about 919 and they invariable don't believe it...we experienced probably things most don't in bootcamp. Anyway, it's nice to run into someone that was there same as I.
