I am going to be on a Marine Corps Field Exercise in Quatico,VA from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon. I will be leading patrols, running Small Unit Leadership Evaluations (SULEs), obstacle course, land navigation, and other fun stuff like that. The thing is that I actually semi enjoy some of this stuff. But what I really HATE is being sleep deprived and being cold/wet from rain for several hours/days. I can't complain because US Marines have had to endure MUCH worse. We will be flying in on a Helicopter and we will be able to listen to some TBS (The Basic School) Instructors. It will be a good experience. I hope to learn a lot so that I am prepared for Officer Candidate School on July 8th-August 20th.
