Reported to the Gap

The doorgun platoon for 2nd Battalion 104th Aviation arrived today at Fort Indiantown Gap. We are making preparations for our flight to Fort Sill Oklahoma on Friday. I volunteered to be a gunner on the flight from Harrisburg to Oklahoma, but my command assured me that while they applaud my vigilance, my services would not be required just yet.

The platoon is truly a cross section of Pennsylvania with people from the eastern, central, and western parts of state represented, and after one day with the guys I know this trip will not be uneventful.

The Western PA guys are understandibly proud of their "Stillirs" and I'm sure the barracks will be well decorated with terrible towels.

Have fun and stay safe Nick. "The Farmers Wife" on Rt 22 has pretty good food out there in Annville.

Sir: Will do. Thanks for your leadership. I have LTC Perry's six, although I think his head is always on a swivel.
