On our way (sort of)

Loaded up our gear yesterday (19 June 05) on ONE 44 PASSENGER BUS. 16 Marines, but a LOT of gear (I was admittedly the worst offender; when I heard we had the conex box space, I brought it all). The two lance corporals that drew the short straw and ended up driving us didn't even bring a freakin' map of North Carolina, so we took a less than direct route. Got to Cherry Point about 2130, offloaded everything, and surrounded by enthusiastic, pre-pubescent cadets from the Civil Air Patrol on their summer camp (I am not making this up), bedded down for the night.
