For some BS class. 4 hour class on thur morning and I'll bee there all day Wed and not leaving until 9pm thur.
I havn't been at Lewis since I got back from Iraq in 04. Anything new in the area I need to see? Anyone want to meet up? Still looking for a hotel room nearby, lodging at Lewis already sent me a non-availability statement and I struck out at 2 hotels in Dupont. Any suggestions. Thanks |

Lots of traffic in the morning and the evening, especially from Lacey to Lakewood, not much you can do about that (morning and evening.) Construction at main gate that impacts leaving Lewis from 4-6 (PM)ish. As for hotels, you can check out the area at Bridgeport and Pacific in Lakewood. Or you can check out some the places off of exit 109 down in Lacey (google maps.)
There is also some construction on Lewis North near the gas station/mini-mall and the credit union as they are building a roundabout. As for meeting up, I am sure there are plenty of folks that wouldn't mind. I don't post too often but however I would buy you a beer. I will post some more info later. - |

If you have not already, you need to see the museum at Lewis. Some SWEET weaponry on display. Many old M16's on display last time I went. Captured enemy weapons too. When I was there last they had Maneul Noreiga's personal Tec 9 SMG on display.

Check out Tactical Tailor and Surplus Ammo and Arms. That will be good for an hour or so. Right outside McChord. Too bad that I'm in AZ this week or I'd check in with ya, always good to help a fellow Montanan

For hotels, I'd check out the ones in Lacey. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&cp=9&wrapid=tljp1300294630984020&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=hotels+lacey+wa&fb=1&gl=us&hq=hotels&hnear=Lacey,+WA&ei=6-uATdKyIIuWsgPG4ciVBg&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBcQtgMwAA |

Museum is closed....
You can stop by Waller Hall (reception area) and look for the SSG with a big smile......that'll be me as I final out and pick up my DD214... 
You need to run up to Rainier Arms in Auburn (about a 30 min drive for you) - it's worth the trip. I would stay in the DuPont/Lacey area....anything else and you'll hate life for the traffic. For two days, i would just stay there. |

Or you can move on post and hang out with the "Army Wives" and join in on their daily quest to create white trash drama - like our crazy little friend here.

Hahaha, if I had it then, I would have. It certainly would've beat "the guy who's installed them a few times before" and me.

Sorry Chief, I live in Yelm which is a little bit out of the way. You want to see cute, go to the SRP side of Waller Hall. That or McVeigh gym (main one across from I Corps/Waller Hall) around 0930ish (I'll be there - no formation for this guy
). I swear I saw a 17 out of 10 this morning.
Our newest living on post b/c I have no common sense, gotta-register-all-my-gunz-with-the-MP's-so-they-can-confiscate-them-later-down-the-road-WhiteGuy is closest. ETA - Are you only here until tomorrow or through the weekend? |
