Fort Dix
We have completed the demobilization process and we leave tommorow. We've turned in equipment, received medical screenings, and attended briefings. One presenter, explaining our VA benefits said, "You are a veteran . It's just not old men wearing funny hats with buttons: you are a veteran."
We are on lock down tonight and can't leave the base, though technically, we haven't been able to leave the base all week. We are experiencing an Army favorite: collective punishment. It was okay when a guy passed out in the right bunk, but in the wrong room. But when two guys passed out in the wrong building after trying to kick in the doors because their keys didn't work, well that's different.
