Les poses for a picture with Capt Machuca, and DJ photo bombs it for his first ever purposeful photo bomb.

DJ and Justin made presentations and gave mementos to Capt Machuca as he left Korea to move on in his career.

Capt Jose Machuca was DJ's Flight Commander for most of his time in Korea. He was a really good guy and he cared a lot. So, just before his going away he was sitting off by himself writing down everything so he wouldn't forget anything he wanted to say.

DJ had this going away plaque made for Capt Machuca. The inscription at the bottom reads "Break in case of emergency" and the contents include a bottle of soju, Korean swords, and a legacy DOM patch hidden behind one of the tassels. The inscription on the inside says some nice things about Capt Machuca, then also includes the DOM battle cry in Korean at the bottom (Trample the weak, hurdle the dead), but DJ had "I love rainbow ponies" added at the end in Korean. Capt Machuca doesn't speak Korean, so it might be a while before he figures this out!

DJ poses with his Buraksan running group (Ben Harms, Les Boyd, James Aschmann, Gabe Groshong) at the halfway point of the run.

A few hours after a Buraksan run Dj and Les went to the Enlisted Club for some overpriced mediocre brunch.

Buraksan, a mountain trail/park area that DJ liked to run often. Koreans bury their dead on mountains, and Buraksan is no exception.
