Its JIM!
So hey! Its me (actually me and not sara) typing this blog entry. Internet rulez!
So not much going here in Ft. Hood. The training right now has been pretty dull and not that eventful. I think that if you didn't know your job very well by the time you came here, you learned alot in the past 4 weeks. Me, however, is the master of the job that i do so i am less inclined to learn a whole lot from the training we have had. In fact, they have make me an instructor for a bunch of the classes so i get to share my knowledge with the rest of my crew. Good for them. Actually its exactly what needed to happen, but it would have been nice if it was more clear before we left that that is what was going to be going on, because its been pretty disorganized. I can't blame anyone really in particular, it just seems to me that the best idea would have been to mobilize all the 1SGs the whole time, then people would be doing their more normal jobs and the direction would be more clear. But its not been that bad and the learning curve is helpful if a little steep. We will roll with it in any case.
We get the weekends off here most of the time so thats been pretty nice. Not a whole hell of a lot to do here though. mostly its been drinking some and movies. There is a bowling alley on post but thats getting worn out pretty dang fast. Boring as hell here but at least its relaxing. I'm up to sleeping 10-14 hours a nite on the weekends. So if you are reading this, and you havn't sent me a letter yet, do so, so I have something to read. And thanx to all the people that have written me, keep doing it.
Thats about it so everyone needs to keep in touch! LATA!
