Well, I'm headed to Alaska. I ship out tomorrow to spend a week of leave with my family in Missouri, and then to Alaska by plane.

Hopefully, you'll be seeing me on Soldat in a week or two.

It'll be awesome. I'll see you guys on the flipside.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Sooo...I'm still confused about the whole Special Forces training thing. You decided not to do that, right? In which case, is this just some random training that they want you to do?

Cept for the fact that Alaska does connect the Americas to Russia, if only for certain seasons.

Well not geographical connection, I suppose you could call it a political connection.

Actually, I am issued the KA-BAR. It's our bayonet: M16-M4 and such come with the mounts. I did a good bit of bayonet training. Here's what it looked like.

By dropping/postponing SF, they put me in "Needs of the Army", which is wherever they need a body. Fortunately, since I have airborne wings, they send me to the new Airborne infantry unit in alaska, which is the next best thing.

This is my personal combat knife:
