Going to Fundamentals
was such an important aspect of becoming a perm. We had a huge variety of fields and disciplines represented and somehow, everything worked. I got to look at Orion's belt through a telescope while a Dark Sky Ranger explained what I was looking at, had the chance to nerd out with the other history people, and helped someone hike for their first ever time as we went down to Dripping Springs. That steak tasted so good, but not as good as the prickly pear drink :) Almost 15 years later and 3 years out of the service, I still talk with people from my Fun2 and Fun5 classes every month. They have supported me through some incredibly stressful times with solid advice and enthusiasm from afar. They are my brain trust and my cheerleaders and I would not have had that without my trip to Horace Albright Training Center.
