I am officially in Kansas now, and I must say, it is kind of strange. First of all, Manhattan is truly in the middle of nowhere. I drove down HWY 77 from Lincoln, and there was next to nothing before I hit town. Literally, one minute, rolling Kansas terrain, next minute, I was in town. It was a little tough driving by the stadium where the wildcats first beat the Huskers and broke our 26 year string of football dominance. Everything here is purple and white, making things a little tougher. I will have to be humble until Bo Pelini returns the Huskers to their proper place.
I will report to FT Riley tomorrow, about noon. I am enjoying my last evening of leave in Manhattan. Once you get past all of the purple and white, it is a pretty nice town. I found a good pizza parlor, NY style thin crust, very good stuff. I am a little concerned about reporting in tomorrow, I realized I haven't reported to a "new" unit since I first came to FT Bragg. Every job I had on FT Bragg I knew someone there or someone there knew me, this is the first time I will be walking into a new unit away from FT Bragg in 16 years. Hmmmmm. I will also be reporting into a unit that is not a Special Operations unit. As my former boss COL P told me, ". . . you will be working with the REST of the Army." I have been in a Special Operations units for the past 16 years. Double HMMMMMMMMM.
I will let you all know how it goes.
I have also posted some of my hiking photos from my different section hikes to the blog. Let me know what you think.
