A photo of Barton Field from the RBK side. We cross this field heading
to Charlie company or the DFAC. The field is huge! There is a dirt running
track around it that is 3.2 miles long.
Today
started off great. I must say that I like staying at RBK. Our morning
formation only took a few minutes and our duties were to do a quick
police call around the outside of the barracks which took a whole 5 to
10 minutes, then the rest of the day was ours. I did a little homework
and then went shopping for some supplies. Another nice thing about RBK
is that we are much closer to the main PX, commissary, the clothing
store, and the bowling alley. I was able to get all my laundry done and
put away after shopping.
I
walked to the Charlie Company DFAC for dinner (our RFAC is closed on
the weekends unfortunately) with the young Hawaiian (a young private
from Hawaii) and as we were eating, we talked to some of the people still
back at the Charlie barracks. They said all the ones that were phased
back have been doing duties all day long with a formation about every 2
hours. I’m so glad I’m outta there! They all have to be in ACUs too when
doing duty. What a bummer for them.
Night
time came and I went and had a couple of beers with PFC Metal and his
wife who was down visiting. As phase V and being of drinking age, we are
allowed to drink at only one place on base which happens to be the bar
in the bowling alley. The bowling alley is conveniently located right
across the street from the RBK barracks.
All in all a very laid back and relaxing Saturday. A much needed change of pace after being busy all week long.
