So I've spent an incredible amount of time on the road lately, between picking up ammo, transporting it to training sites, making runs to drop off equipment, etc. So I'm pretty familiar with the roadways now, my routes, and what to expect.
I wish the interstate system in the U.S. was like Korea's system. No cops. Only traffic cams. Everyone drives fast until they know a speed camera is ahead, and then they put on the binders. Updating your GPS is apparently a big must around here, as it also updates the speed camera locations. Fortunately, the app Waze does the same. And it's a blessing to have when finding new routes.
No major accidents to report, though a few of my soldiers have several years of bad luck ahead. Mirrors seem to be a common casualty with our trucks. I'll take a lost mirror over an injured soldier any day. So far the count is at 3 tactical convoys, 2 as the convoy commander, and the other as the assistant convoy commander.
That's enough words. Let's get to the pictures.

BEST. APP. EVER.

| Upon exiting the highway closest to base, you're greeted with this! |

| Looks just like the states right? And of course, obligatory road trip food (as learned from JP!) |
