Beginnings: Basic at Fort Benning

We went to the north and then we went to the south and yet we couldn’t find our bus. We asked and we went outside and we considered taking a cab but then eventually there downstairs and to the right there was our bus and a long line, a long clustered line of kids from all over the United States. We waited in line for a bus and when they came we loaded up our few possessions and waited some more. A line of Boy Scouts walked by our window; they were going to some camp and we made jokes about them mercilessly because we were going to the big boys camp and they weren’t and certain individuals may be in the wrong group etc.
