Excellent post.
There goes training...again...
Great timing. A couple of days ago, while digging in lower Manhattan, in the Fort George area, they unearthed a wall that was left over from the original fort (which was originally built by the Dutch, who quickly fell to the British).
I spent 4 years in the north country attending college, so I appreciate reading this. Thanks for posting.
I guess this area is now off limits for training. Before you know it 10th MTN will be looking for a new place to live.
Artifacts ping.
He did Army Reserve summer camp there one year. They had a real blizzard the first week - six inches of snow on his jeep, which fortunately he and his driver had covered with a "borrowed" tarp the night before. The second week, they had Category Four heat conditions. They went to Montreal one evening and wound up in a gay leather bar. And somebody threw a grenade simulator under the evaluator's jeep.
All in all, an interesting two week stay in scenic Ft. Drum.
