Let the fun begin!

Well, we made it to Ft. Lewis without a lot of trouble.  Weather is nicer than the midwest, and by that I just mean warmer.  Cool and rainy but I would rather have that than cold and snowy.  We've been busy getting MORE equipment, doing paperwork and getting shots.  So far the hardest thing has been getting up at 3:30 am to do the above things.  Hopefully when we start training for real, at least we'll get to sleep later.

We've gotten a lot of new stuff.  Improved body armor, and fire resistant uniforms are just part of it.  Although I will say that if I actually have to use fire resistant anything, there's a serious problem, unless it's my computer that catches on fire  (or my typewiter - right Steve?).

Anyway, nothing too exciting yet.  Internet access is on a sporadic basis.  I can get it in the barracks, but my computer doesn't have a decent enough antenna to pick up a good signal.  Hopefully in another week, I'll have access to post to this and check emails everyday.

Stay tuned!
