That's pretty awesome.

The barracks is pretty noisy usually. Cadets crowded into a castle like structure with a large open floor in the center, the "quad". Tall concrete walls bounce sound around and make everything echo, so during the day when everyone is out the noise can be intense. But now it's just past 0100, and everyone else is in their racks or at their desk studying. The only lighting right now is the soft florescent lights, and they seem dim compared to the cloudless sky with its full moon. Now it's quiet, ghostly quiet. The only thing you can hear is the breeze that circles around the gallery (the open hallways). I'm sitting by one of the pillars with my pipe, shielded from the breeze, and just listening to the wind.
