First Full Day

Well, I honestly can't say much about my first full day since i've slept through most of it so far. :-) For those of you who were wondering, I did track down that friend of mine who is here training before heading up to iraq. We hung out last night and my jet lag had me up until after 4am. When I did crash though I slept til almost 1pm. By the way, I am seven hours ahead of ohio, eight hours ahead of nebraska, tennessee and kingsford, and ten hours ahead of California. Anyway, so I woke up having to go potty so I tossed my pt's on and stumbled out the door to be hit by a blinding flash of light and flying dust! yikes! It's really hot, but the heat it's really that bad because there is NO humidity. it's like someone has turned a giant hair drier on you on high all the time. Last night walking around it was actually quite pleasant. it was probably in the nineties, but with no humidity and no sun it wasn't bad at all. it was 109 here yesterday. anyway...our barracks are nice. it's three girls to a room and so far i really like my roomies. And catch this...when I'm not on duty, I get to wear civilian clothes. Wow. That one surprised me. You can bet your sweet bippy I was in jeans last night though. :-) I uniform will just be easier most of the time, but it's still nice to have the option. Anyway, I don't have wireless on my laptop yet, so i'm gonna scoot as this costs money. I'll let you know more when I know it. I have a couple days to rest and i'm told that when i'm needed I will be found. love y'all and have a great day! Bri
