Spare a Scare

With the end of summer fast approaching, my wife and I decided we were in need of one last vacation before the warm weather gave way to cooler autumn temperatures. The 350-mile trip would take us from Atlanta, Georgia, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Careless Convoy

There I was, smack in the middle of a range day at the Basic Officer Leaders Course. The day started out normally, with one group of lieutenants and warrants convoying to the range in a HMMWV, and the other group riding in two 5-ton trucks. The HMMWV convoy was always plagued with some “notional” engagements wherever it went, and these things were expected. The 5-ton convoy was usually a great time to rest your eyes for a few minutes.
