Good to hear Junky, but you better find something else to do quick before they send you back to Korea.   :D

Selino, I went there in July/August of 2008 when I was with 1SBCT25ID. It was over 100 almost the entire rotation. It was lame, having been to Iraq before NTC really did not teach me anything. The only thing I got out of it was a snapshot of what we " might " be able to do and rehearse battle drills, etc. It is like anything else, you get out what you put in.  :salute

great place, use to live by Bassett Army Hospital. Lots of friends upthere. 1/24 is a good Bn as well, so is 1-5. I plan on retiring in North Pole

Had 7 rotations 3-4 weeks each at NTC during my career. Great fun (sarcasm).
