I’m not sure where you are, but here at Fort Drum, fall starts early. It comes without much warning-—one day I’m in cotton shorts and a t-shirt, and the next, I need jeans and an oversized sweatshirt.

Some of you may find that frustrating.

Not enough time to switch the summer clothes out for the chilly weather wardrobe.

Not enough time spent splashing in the pool (But let’s be honest, there hasn’t been a ton of that this summer).

But it doesn’t have to be frustrating. Instead of seeing fall as an inconvenience, you could see it as an opportunity.
