Hoarty had been commissioned into the Marine Corps. After serving in the Gulf War, he switched to the Army and earned a commission. Signal Co. Hoarty placed us on active duty orders for four weeks, and the change in lifestyle is stark. We now have rooms which make our old barracks seem like caves. They have a kitchen, huge bathroom, queen-size beds, and awesome entertainment centers.
Life is good, for now.
With two weeks left before we ship out to Germany, I spent my last weekend, Feb. 17-18, at Norwich visiting friends. I've often heard other cadets say that members of the Corps won't realize how much they miss the university environment until they leave it. I don't think I've ever heard a truer statement.
