The next day, driving to work, I saw Soldiers picking up trash and pine cones and raking, and doing all sorts of shit on the side of every road. I saw a dude in civvies watching Soldiers cut grass from the tailgate of a contract landscaping truck, which had clearly carried the lawnmowers on its trailer.

Meanwhile, our ranges were available every day from 0001-2359. Bragg is a bizarre place.
That's good training.
