"Tracker
InstructorsL (unidentified) and SGT Steve Anderson with puff adder we later took to
a beer joint called the "Slab House" on Friday night in Calhoun Falls SC. It was
catfish fry night and the snake decided to di-di before anyone wondered if it tasted like

got back to Ft. Gordon on Saturday afternoon, hence the Friday night mission to the Slab
House." |
