So today brings my week at NMPS to a close. Tomorrow morning we hop on buses and drive down to South Carolina for 3 weeks of Army training. I assume this will include watching Stripes, Full Metal Jacket, and MASH. We were issued uniforms today, and then I got to walk the mile back to my room carrying my backpack and the ~50lb seabag. Oh yes, and it was raining the whole time too. Luckily, we have a truck swinging by the lodging here so we don't have to carry the bags back again.
The network here allowed Steam to download the Civ5 client, but the StarCraft 2 downloader failed me. The network here is not very robust, and I doubt they intend us to do peer-to-peer downloads of 7 GB. Thankfully the game still exists on disks at home. In the future, with digital distribution becoming so prevalent, I wonder if any special concessions will be made for those in the military.
Well, below are some ridiculous pictures I took today.
You look silly.
