Gold 4, as well as the rest of the entire Gold Unit, moved many hundreds of packages of insulation from one warehouse to another. Harmony's warehouse had been rented to someone else, and they needed our help, or else would have lost all their insulation.
In the second of our two, one-day CTI (Corpsmember Training Institute) projects, Gold 4 and half the Gold unit went to Charles Towne Landing to remove an unused brick path and replace it with dirt so grass could be planted. Additional projects included mulching. The other teams went the following day.
