For those of you who have not had the pleasure of coming to 29 Palms in April let me break it down for you. IT F&%#(N sucks. It was 110 plus the first three days out here than dropped into the 40s last night. On top of that Arty likes to see how many times they can move in a week and get rounds on target. So since Tuesday night I have slept at a different location every night except for one.
As for what else is going on not too much. The PFC’s and boot as Lt’s always make a time out here fun. Have had quite a few rattlesnake sightings but no onw has gotten bitten yet (tank god). I am slowly but surely working my way through my reading material and hopefully will get at least 2 of the three books completed.
My new favorite piece of gear is the self inflating mattress that I bought at Wal-Mart. It rolls up smaller than an ISO mat (small piece of hard foam). and is much more comfortable to sleep on. So between that and my solar shower that I bought last summer I get to sleep comfy and get the stank off my sack what else coud a man want when out in the field.

So good to hear that thing are progressing as normal as could be in the Palms Resort for the Devil Dog[s].
Yep, I know all about the temp. swings from living in North Las Vegas for over a year and driving an 18-wheeler in and out of there for 4 yrs. Sweat your brass balls off during the day and freeze your @$$ at night. So all I can say is “Glad it you and not me.”
LOL LOL LOL
Enjoy the books and getting a great tan.

Good times, buddy. Don’t forget to ask one of those PFCs or Lts for the Hummer keys.

Gotta love those self-inflating mattresses! Bet the solar showers aren’t bad, either….

Well, it Friday and another week spent at the “Palms Resort for Bad-A$$-Dogs”.
Did somebody give you the receipt for your stay or did “They” make another week’s reservation for you and all your “Bad-A$$-Dogs”?
If you land your’s are on the plane back to the “Dog House” — WHAAAA—HOOOOO!!!!

I also have the inflatable mattress and yes, it is indeed very nice to sleep on and quite durable that is why I bought an extra and put it in the car just in case I need to sleep over somewhere

Self-inflating mattresses are the BEST! I bought mine online, but I brought it on deployment with me to the Balkans (several years back) and it would lead me to sleep like a baby even on the mountainside. Any gear like that which gives you some insurance of comfort in the field gets my vote as a great purchase… and you found yours at WalMart, no less!
