2Well I finally found some one who was at the Castle 5-2 205 except a couple(1 Lt and 1 Cpt from Utau).
I found the enlisted(ANA)willing to learn, I mentored them on basic feild med, I found the Officers to be too corrupt to much with and the commander impossible to work with. He sent the medics out daily on patrol, and left them nearly 0 time to instruct.
The Tea House was compleated(top of the hill)March 07, the Govenor still insisted Pres K would be stopping by………..never did hear..
We were pulled out and sent back to Apache early March, turned over entire compound to ANA Trans and HHQ(I think).
