I actually liked it too. I went to Lafayette and New Orleans a lot, I embraced Cajun food and music, and I did a lot of huntin' and fishin'. Bought my first shotgun there and all kinds of fishing gear. And I was in a unit I loved.

I am looking forward to spending time w/ my family, it is hard to do that while I am in Div. Dont get me wrong, I love being in Div and can not wait to return but one does need a break from time to time. But the added bonus is that I can now take my combat experience and my experiences from the greatest ABN BDE TF and help other units and soldiers prepare for war. Muddy!!!

| Spent more than a few years at Polk, and the bottom line is that it may not be located in the best place in the world, but you are a drive away from so many things that you and your family will enjoy that you will find when you leave, you will probably want to come back. Its not crowded and using all the facilities on post is never an issue. There are usually two kinds of people who leave Polk. There are the ones that did not do much, wished they were somewhere else and hated it, and there are the ones who got out, saw things, went to differnt places, and enjoyed their time. Don't believe its reputation.

Bluforkilla, welcome to the DZ. Post a greeting so we can throw down the welcome mat properly

| Well I used to be an O/C; did that for a year and loved it! Now I am in plans and I am working my ass off. The job is not bad but the out of rotation life is not as easy as it was when I was an O/C. Hell when I am not in rotation I am TDY so damned if you do and damned if you dont! Muddy!!!
