Judging by the NCOs I've worked with, they'd probably try to get him to write a cannon report.

Yeah, but what color chem light batteries?

Also use to get newby's to take a hammer and a cup, and tap up and down the sides of the track to check for soft spots in the armor. Or, send him up top to jump up and down, while another holds a ruler between the body and tack to test track-tension. You're in for a lot of good times.

All we had were the transparent Nicad, that had to be signed for by an E-6 or higher. Try to get him to come back with a Sgt...

just make sure she knows it can get COLD in fairbanks. they can see -50 during the dead of winter. have fun up there man, its an awesome place to live. some of the fairbanks population can be a little on the strange side (I should know, half my family lives there) but I am sure you will have a great time. if you hunt or fish, and are looking for a big game hunt, hit me up, got some cousins who guide there.
