There was a close scare on base this week as a rumor was floating around that the CO was going to change the base into a semi-dry outfit (Maximum 2 drinks per day per man). Thankfully, he changed his mind at the last minute. The later part of this week was very nice and was the first time we've seen any direct sunlight through the fog in around two weeks. On Thursday it was exceptionally nice out so I took a nice long walk in wide circle around all of our buildings and down Caribou Road. Nothing more to report this week. Brad
