One week down. I don't think I can count them like this or it will take forever to come home.
We got to sleep in a bit this morning, and we had a good brief at 11am. We're supposed to "embrace the suck" of this Army training. It could apparently be much worse at other Army training sites. While I don't doubt that, I'll feel better when they're capable of fixing the wireless access point in our barracks.
So I ran into Chris Kiesek, who I haven't seen since we were winged in August of 2004. She's been doing the HSL thing in Japan for a while. Oh yes, and she thinks Tom Uhl is an ass-clown too. She is being sent to Uganda as the commander of a unit! This is currently an O-5 billet, and she's an O-3. Something tells me this isn't a great fit. Just for the record, I have not yet heard of anyone who has had a positive experience working with Tom Uhl for orders. But some people on this Earth just suck.
Today felt like we were just killing time until we could eat again. Not a very satisfying day, to say the least. Tomorrow we have to muster at 0645, eat breakfast, and then at some point we'll start being issued all sorts of additional gear. Should be interesting. I think we are issued weapons on Tuesday, and then the fun can begin. We will apparently be firing a ridiculous number of rounds here, 9mm, M4, and crew served weapons too. So that should be entertaining. For now, we must get ready for the Steeler game! Here we go.....Here we go....
