What comes to mind when you think of November? Most may say “Thanksgiving,” but here at Boot Camp we stuck to our military roots and said “Our current troops and Veteran’s.” For those of you who don’t get our newsletters or emails, we wanted to make sure the message about our November special got extended [...]
