Home from Boot Camp, and We're Doing What?!

AS A RECRUIT nearing completion of basic training at Fort Knox, I was looking forward to my leave home. After 13 weeks of sleeping on the ground, eating Army food and being tormented by drill sergeants, all I could think of was clean sheets, Mom's cooking and some relaxation. Arriving in Boston the day after graduation, I was greeted by my joyous family. "Just wait until you hear about the camping trip we've planned!" exclaimed my mother.
