cross county

This past weekend we had our cross county in the T-1. Definitely one of the highlights of the program, you get to plan a trip with another student to spend 2 nights out (with an IP of course). We stayed the first night in Fort Worth, stopping in Lake Charles LA for possibly the best cajun food I've ever had. The second night was in San Antonio on the river walk (its awesome when the base is full and they give you form to get a cheap military rate downtown, as was the case both nights). I got to see some friends both nights, and its always interesting to see the IPs out of uniform and having fun. Some of the notable in-flight sights included (this includes some from the past week as well): fireworks from a baseball game (actually kinda scary), light show at a dirt bike rally, the stockyards, nuke power plants, low level in the smokies, the coast, and lastly the NCAA football stadium tour of: UofAx2 Arkansas/Alabama, UTx2, Texas/Tennessee, Miss State, Florida State, LA Tech, and Texas A&M. Its hard not to have fun when you're flying to another state everyday for lunch, even if you do completely retarded stuff that you want to slap yourself over. Yesterday I flew worse than when we first started, very frustrating, but I guess thats why we're in training, I definitely got to see how to correct yourself when found in an undesirable situation. Good times had by all.
