Home sweet home....Today was a death by Powerpoint day. 4 hours spent sitting in an overcrowded auditorium listening to the same sorta briefings we've been getting for the last 8 months. Tricare...VA benefits...JAG...Post Orientation...the usual stuff. I got kinda scared when they started the briefing on our smallpox vaccine and the room got deathly silent. All the things that can go wrong...and if it doesn't react the way they want then you have to get it again....scary. After that was done, we headed back to our barracks area for chow and then sat through our first hush-hush, classified, "tell you but I'd have to kill you" briefing. That killed another 4 hours after chow, but the worst part about that was the fact that chow tonight was hot dogs, with beans, fries and chili.....the room REEKED!!
Speaking of that...the food here is pretty decent. Much better than we had down at JRTC and better than what we usually have down on Cape Cod. The barracks we're living in are ok...open squad bays (2 squads per bay) and a communal latrine. I lucked out with a bottom bunk.
Right now we're all relaxing in the barracks after moving all our weapons from the connex shipping container into the supply room. Tomorrow we start the medical and dental portions of the processing...expect long lines, boredom, and another long freaking day.
