ok Ok OK!
When I joined this gang I didn't realize the pressure it was going to imply!
But here I am, writing so I assume all will be forgiven, for the time being anyway.
Burlington (BRRRR-lington)
So I went out into "the Field" to play. We left on the 5th drove 7 hours and pitched our tents, per say, into the frozen ground of Burrlington, Colorado/Kansas. The drive should have only taken 2 hours but with the freezing temperatures and the gail force winds, it was a very slow process. Burrlington is in colorado but the keychains at the gas station all said Kansas plus my phone was picking up the time from the phone tower in Kansas so you can imagine my confusion.
We set up My baby, LASER, and then we waited for the reservists to show up and, I don't know, get learned. They showed up for two of the seven days, looked at the planes as they flew past and lickety split, they were gone. We stayed for an extra three days in the freezing Hanger of Death, tore down the RADAR and then we drove another 5 hours home. All in all it was a cold, but awesome experiance. We set up all the shelters on the top of seven tons, which was different and diffucult.
So there thats what I did in the Frozen Tundra of Burrlington.

Yeahhh - a post from Johnny!
It was great talking with you last night. Take care of you on all those long trips with all that 'equipment'.
Sounds a little more like boys playing with toys but what do I know??
Sounds like you did some very manly men stuff. Also sounds cold! Didn't mean to put you on a guilt trip...it was lots of fun to chat by phone. I just like to tease you about whatever I can. And now that you are a big bad marine, seems there is less to tease you about.
"I don't like to be teased. Now I'm teasin you!"
I'm Just giving everyone a hard time keep the teasin coming!
I don't envy all that cold talk, but sometimes I envy all the things that you are learning and adventures that you are having. By the way, you look really good in your pics. Hunk of burnin' love if you ask me...
I'm glad you went on that guilt trip. I love seeing you post things and should do better with mine. Just think of all the fun manly things you get to tell us pansy's about. :) We just all love you and want to hear all the fun things you are doing as a stubborn/proud marine.
I guess I'm a little behind on this blog thing and could take my turn going on a guilt trip. You're so grown up ordering those guys around and everything. Have fun.
