So y'all, today marked a pretty significant moment. Two Soldiers from the unit we are replacing in Afghanistan are back here to help guide us through our next training event and provide insight into "how they are doing it there". It will be cool to link up with my direct counterpart, but it also makes the fact that we are out of here, quite soon, hit home.
Important things learned thus far:
1. The Chow Hall is horrible (boo).
2. The gym is pretty good (but the description included "plenty of machines and Smith racks", boo?)
3. There is a lot of running going on for Physical Training.
4. You can get on some type of coffee gift certificate list (rad).
5. There isn't much else to do (which means I'll have a chance to facilitate different groups and get my personal stuff done, which = read and sleep).
6. We will be busy (cool, busy equals fast).
Much more to follow. Goodnight all.
During your personal time I expect you to work on hand-drawn holiday cards to send home to me for every occasion. So please start working on what Beef, Waffle and Pharaoh will look like. Beef for Valentine's Day, Waffle for Christmas and Pharaoh for Independence day. Color by number outlines would be cool too... then I could participate once the card arrives and send it back to you all prettified. Think of it as a game of "poke" on Facebook... it never ends... of love.
