Communications Tower
So yesterday morning, my squad finished a small communications tower for our TOC. The project basically spanned three days, but on the first day we didn't do anything more then gather up some materials and tools. They finally got the blue prints to me at the end of the day. By then it was late enough I said forget it and start the next day. As it turned out, two other squads were working on a double door for the warehouse portion at the PX and were having a terrible time of it. The concrete structures over here are a little different then we are all used to. Couple that with not having the proper saws and or blades and it equals a not so fun time. Those poor guys worked on it until 2 am before they shut it down. It needed to get done as soon as possible, so my Platoon Sergeant pulled my squad off the comms tower and had us finish the door. So anyway, yesterday was able to get back to the tower. We had it completly built by lunch, but then it got really hot out, so we chilled til the evening and set it on the roof. Then next morning (yesterday) finished anchoring it down and put the communication gear on it. So anyway. There it is. Turned out pretty decent I think :)
