Have you ever visited or lived in Wisconsin? Would you?

  I really don’t remember much about the town at all, I believe it must have been very small and offered little in the way of attractions. We were on a pretty intensive training schedule to acclimatize ourselves to living in the field in cold weather conditions, so it’s possible the entire two weeks was spent out in the boondocks. Part of it included being dropped in the wilderness for several days with only a knife and one canteen of water and surviving off the land while navigating on foot back to friendly lines without being captured, wounded or killed. No map, compass, food, weapon, just the uniform on your back. 

  Yes, changes, both constantly evolving ones and frequently occurring ones are part and parcel of military life. The better one is able to adapt to the unexpected and overcome it, the higher the probability of success.

  Lol, no on the reminiscing about Sparta to get through in the tropics, but I like the way you think.

  Oh, really?  Interesting tidbit of information. Thank you very much; I’ll add it to the database. (Cough, cough.)

  Of course! That’s what I do every single day, Babykins!

*Plan 2551:
From various starting points in Wisconsin, navigate into Minnesota for 30 minutes . . .

“Very humid compared to California, though, but that's true of most of the country east of the Rockies. It takes some getting used to for us West Coasters.”

  You bring up a good point that makes me think that many people who have been in California for at least the past decade have become accustomed to the drought conditions we have here, so much so that traveling to areas with vastly different weather has a striking impression on us. Grrrrrrr.
