Here in the desert there is not a whole lot to see.. lol...so seems the soldiers here on my post have made their own attractions... .. This is the National Training base and we get alot of "rotating troops , they come for a few weeks for training then off to where ever they are from or going.. most are going to Iraq and such .. But before they leave they get to paint their unit symbol on on of the huge bolders just outside our gate.. I thought it was really neat.. and Thanks to my freind Jem that reminded me i had this picture and i had something to post this Month!!!.. LOL

How very cool - I had never heard of this - incredible - love the idea! Thank you soldiers!Anonymous Guest 30 Jan 2008
In 1976, Operation Bold Eagle, a Warrant officer/ 4 and myself spent all night painting the 57th Signal BN unit Crest up on the rocks. It was featured in the Army Stars and Stripes paper. Our Commander was furious, he never found out who did it. The crest has sense been painted over many times....what a great day that was......we even got an engineer Bn to sneak up at night and move some rocks so we could have room. Ft Irwin at that time was a closed shut down post.Chris Donton 25 Jul 2007
