This shows a unique aspect of the pandemic becoming a terrifying unknown to soldiers in training during the Pandemic. With no connection whatsoever to the outside world, we had no idea what we were dealing with when in came to COVID. It was all speculation. Then as we got to our units we began figuring it out, while simultaneously seeing unique travel restrictions lifted for our operations specifically.
