Once a year US Army reservists conduct an annual training to refamiliarize themselves with a combat environment. Everytime I attend my trainings I remember the times when I was in active duty and small bits of nostalgia creep through.

This morning I was on a mission that departed early in the morning. I had to use night vision goggles while driving through heavy woods.

As I drove millions of bright specs shine in the night sky between the branches of canopy above.

There's not many jobs where you work so intimately within nature, blending in, becoming one with the darkness.
