hmmmmm

Well, I can't say much for today. We spent some time doing BRM today and watching people do practice runs on classes that they have to teach during training tomorrow. For the most part, it was abysmally boring. I guess we can't expect it all to work out in an exciting fashion every time. In light of today's lack of activities (aside from drawing weapons and getting stuck with a radio, both of which are sensitive items that I can never allow to leave my sight and now have to tote about with me everywhere!), I thought I might post a few good quotes from Mark Twain.

Be good, and you will be lonesome.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
- Notebook, 1904

...the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the Nation ALL the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.- "The Czar's Soliloquy"
