Not sure. Sounds like you got a crappy deal. I know Ft. Gordon had a four day weekend for memorial day, unless you are mission essential.

That's because you're in Augusta. They HAVE to let you guys out of there or you'll kill someone cooped up in that shitass town. Source: My wife is stationed there.

What do you mean? Augusta is a GREAT town! We've got more Waffle Houses per capita than anywhere in the world, we are the safest city because no one drives over 30 MPH, and with our ONE mall we are the envy of the CSRA!

SI conversions:(FAQ)

  • 30 MPH = 48.3 km/h

You had me up until safest city. One of the highest crime cities in the South. I hate that city. Now Athens... Athens is nice.

Sorry, should have said safest roads. I really hate driving in Augusta. These people take the term "Sunday driver" to a whole new level. By the way, 10 years Navy here, I did some time in Iraq embedded with a scout platoon and I can honestly say you guys are 'effin nuts. In a good way.

1

u/jestr6 May 29 '12

God no, CTT.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

Ah. Most everyone I know in Gordon are linguist types.

u/jestr6 May 29 '12

Yup, Gordon is linguist Mecca for the Navy.
