Driving into work this morning i could not help but be distracted by all the activity on base. It is a Monday so most everyone had their blues on. I am not the biggest fan of the blues, but today it seemed okay.
Here it was a little after 0600 and I see people all over the place. Airmen coming in and out of the gym, running on the track, walking all over the place.
Our base is a large teaching base and we always have large numbers of young men and women from all the other branches here for tech school. So, in the mornings it is common to see groups of Navy and Army service men and women running and doing some goo old fashion PT. It is easy to spot the marines (if around) because they all seem to be in much better shape than the rest of the services.
I am always a wee bit happier when I drive through the fron gates of my base. It really feels like a city all to itself and lets me forget that I am stuck in the armpit of the south - if for only a fleeting moment.
Just one of the happier moments in my week!
