I began my captivity today. After sitting on 64 for an hour to drive about 5 miles, I had to say a heart wrenching goodbye to Emili. She dropped me off, and then I had to walk 6 blocks to a different building. It is hard to convey the sheer volume of paperwork that was distributed today. It is largely geared for people deploying like me, but there are also people being sent to Pax River, Germany, and even DC. I'll admit that it all feels quite unfair.
So at this point I am fasting for tomorrow's litany of blood tests, hoping to not be too cranky at 6am. On a positive note...Netflix works just fine over 3G (no 4G in Norfolk apparently). Star Trek, here I come!
