I packed a little more this morning, and I'm slowly working my way into the seabags. It looks like I'll have the ruck sack, 2 seabags, my flight bag, and my backpack. I think that's 1 bag more than others, but I don't feel like throwing things away. So we'll see.
I took the shuttle over to the PX and then walked to a military store. I got an extra belt and a decent flashlight, but they didn't have any black Navy wings. Go figure.
Then I walked back to the PX and got an international power adapter set. I think most people yesterday bought the wrong product. I think most people got a plug adapter. So while their plugs will fit, the 240V will still blow out their electronics. My product converts the voltage appropriately, which will be good.
So I overheard a conversation in the barracks today. The SWO named Miguel Charles was telling someone else how he was going to get a dog. The other guy pointed out that it's hard for single guys to have dogs, and what was he going to do when he had to deploy again? Charles said he didn't know, probably put it up for adoption. It was here that I had to step in.
He said he'd either put it up for adoption or put it down, so I told him that I would put him down if I ever heard of him doing this. He just thinks it'd be fine to have a dog for a couple years and then take it to the shelter. I was infuriated!! I don't believe he was serious about euthanizing the dog, but I fear he might be serious about giving it up. So let's all cross our fingers that he doesn't get a dog anytime soon. Grrrrrrr.
Dinner was uneventful, but it was ended with a fire alarm. It's so hard to eat with that noise! But I went for a short walk after dinner and took a few pictures.
