I was in Fairbanks from 97-2002, so it definately wasn't you.
Could've been kpaske, but the last time I was in Lewis was in 2001 (MRI at McChord as part of MRB -bad jump). One of my old CO's (Cpt Morgan, @your time) became the ROTC commander at UAF, so I used to do the rappel demos (Aussies off of the roof of the library will get some cadets) and toss 'em from the jump tower at Wainwright.
I think I'll try that mat as a replacement for the floormats, rather than the whole carpeting. It does look very thick.
