So we went to Ft. A. P. Hill for the Land Nav FTX (Field Training Exercise). 
I was paired up with Jankovich, my RA, and we spent five hours out in the woods, finding only one point (out of eight). 
I also had my first MRE - I had heard so many horror stories from the other cadets thatthe MRE actually exceeded my expectations. 
When we returned from the first phase, there was a BBQ prepared by the Sergeants on staff here. 
We then went out to do some night land nav....we had 2 hours to find two points. Unfortunately, we didn't get either. But we had fun! 
We got back to GMU at 0010, and I went out to eat something with some of the other cadets. I am now going to sleep in late this morning.

Well, as I was typing this, the fire alarm went off, so we all left the building and waited (a while) for the fire department to arrive. I'm back now and everything is safe.
