My MOS was Wing and also one of the few that was non-shipboard deployable. Used to irritate the heck out of my motor T and HE buddies that NO ONE in my MOS had ever been floated around on a ship. Didn't make sense for what we did.
Strange coincidence, I went to bootcamp on Nov 3rd, 1997. Got Turkey Day, Xmas, and New Years in bootcamp. Missed the high obstacles because that was Xmas day. I think I'd have prefered to do the obstacles instead of watching a movie.
With that bootcamp date were they pumping you guys up for Desert Storm?

Oh yeah... they were pumping us up big time. It was over by the time we got out of MCT, though. 
I hear ya on the holiday thing. We were in 2nd phase field training for Christmas. Nothing more pitiful than a whole company of Marine recruits, sitting in the field, holding candles at a holiday chapel service, wishing they were home.

I remember spending Xmas of 77, in Iwakuni, with bandages covering 40 percent of my body, and a light duty chit!!!! STILL had to walk to the bus stop, just me and my crutches.
That was the good part. The bad part was spending an hour a day in a burn tank, getting burnt skin peeled off.

Outstanding. I'd offer to give you some ideas of cool places to go but there really aren't any in J-ville that I can think of.
Lots of great places to head off road, though!
Just don't stay on the tank trails too much. They weigh about 60 tons more than a K5 and will win ANY confrontation.
