Echo Company FT. Benning

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/multi...ens/index.html

This is a neat presentation put together by the local newspaper on how ARMY soldiers are fitted for their "Class A's" or dress uniforms at the end of boot camp.

It's pretty cool!

Thanks, John! I have a former student down there right now...he's in F company. Probably going through about the same thing; he started his basic in July.

Some of those kids look sooooo young...

Looks like some real attention is given to fitting these guys. I always heard that Army uniforms came in just two sizes...........

Too large and too small.

Yeah tell me about it Glenn.....

I look at these young men and then I make the mistake of looking in a mirror and it ocours to me S*** I'm getting old! I have gray hairs etc... Lines on the face...

It's something when you realize that your twice there age!

I am most grateful for their service to our great nation. I sleep real well at night knowing that 30,000 Soldiers are at Ft. Benning just 5 miles south of my house. Nothing like a little Armor to put you in the comfort zone eh?

They are something to watch too. Every now and again my wife, children and I will go on base and watch these guys and gals jump out of airplanes and towers and everything else. Such enthuiasm! I pity anyone who becomes an enemy of the state!
