The main point of the trip down to the desolate wasteland of Beale AFB was to complete the AFCOMAC class. I have never worked so hard since I enlisted - I’ve worked hard but its never taken that much physical effort to get the job done. We were working on a gravel covered pad and it was a dusty dirty place. Every day I had a hard time figuring out what part of my skin was tanned and what part was covered with dirt. I took a photo of myself after work so you could see what I’m talking about.
Unfortunately you can’t see exactly how dirty I really was - I think the last time I was that dirty I was a little kid playing in the dirt at my grandma King’s house.
I did have a chance to visit Reno, the Biggest Little City in the World. Andy’s parents picked us up at Beale and took us down there and pretty much paid for the whole thing. It was a pretty sweet deal. I ended up loosing the money I had set aside for gambling but it was a calculated loss. I could either spend that money on booze and be bored or spend that money on gambling and get free drinks. All in all it was a wash.

Yeah, thats about all I’m going to write.
