Mandy and I went to Ft. Polk with Nick to drop off his furniture and stuff in his new apartment. Mandy was awesome in the car......
We just made sure to keep her in COKE!! It's a long, extremely boring drive, but we had a good time anyway. 
I like seeing the army bases and meeting the guys Nick works with. He showed me all around the base, the MP station, the commissary, the PX...base housing. It's such a different way of life than what I have ever experienced.
Mandy had a great time running down the hall in the barracks after being cooped up in the car all day.
The barracks were actually much nicer than what I had expected. The rooms are small with linoleum floors and lots of cabinets. They have a microwave and a fridge. They share a bathroom with the room next door.
Yes, this is me wearing a flack vest. You have no idea how heavy this thing is. It also fits pretty tight and makes it hard to breathe. As I was complaining Nick pointed out that I didn't even have any artillery in the pockets. This is yet one of the many reasons I would never have made it in the army!!
