Saturday finally arrived and after completing the Blue Force Tracker (BFT) we turned in our weapons and most of the team headed off to Manhattan Kansas for dinner and then some St. Patricks revelry in Aggieville. I and my Sergeant Major had to attend a nutrition class that was given to our Soldiers who are overweight. The info was interesting and I believe that most of us learned a few new things about nutrition. I got back to the barracks, changed and headed out with LTC Dutton and Major Buck to go to the Little Apple Brewery and Restaurant. There must have been at least 15 officers and enlisted Soldiers most of us were Quartermaster (QM) Officers and logisticians. I finally got to meet the IRR QM clique, there must be 8 QM officers who were brought back on active duty from the Individual Reinforcement Reserves (IRR) and they all inprocessed and did some refresher training at Ft. Lee and Ft. Jackson and have become good friends. The microbrew was great and I have a special stout they were making for St. Patricks day. After dinner a most went on to Aggieville to O'Malleys and tossed down some more Guinness and then us old guys left where as the young Captains I believe closed down O'Malleys!
Sunday was refit day, sleep in, then off to church, the commissary to buy some groceries and some of us went out for a late lunch/early dinner at Famous Daves which is an excellent BBQ restaurant that serves up some great smoked meats, ribs, brisket and a lot more. We all agreed that it seems that our refit day is way too short and before you know it, Monday rolls around and it's time to pickup our weapons and begin training all over again. The days here seems to be one large non-stop day and everyday seems like ground hog day!
