New additions to team Deuce

Today was more focused on briefings and we didn’t get any more toys. We spent the morning doing some important paperwork for the Army and then finished it up with some testing before lunch. At lunch we started devising our plan to transfer from Custer Hill to Camp Funston. We had to face the music that we were giving up our pretty nice dorm rooms (for Army standards) and moving to an open bay dorm. Each open bay has forty bunks in it. We are going to be cozy if we weren’t yet. The afternoon was spent doing more briefings at the chapel. It was some interactive training so it wasn’t too bad. I do remember that pews aren’t that comfortable when you are over six feet. We finished up our day with a little PT and that’s when our Lieutenant got this wild idea that he wanted to climb one of the ropes hanging off some poles. It had a rope ladder, some cable ladders, and about 3 ropes. From top to bottom it was probably about twenty five feet. Did I mention he was wearing shorts? He made it up fine, but came down a little too fast and gave himself rope burns on his ankles, and inside of his thighs. I’m sure a uniform and boots will feel great tomorrow. We also found out we are getting two new additions to our team. They are both Army guys. Ones a medic and the other is a CST student like us. The only difference is he has deployed doing this five times, so I’m hoping he can really help us and give us some insight as to what we are actually going to be doing. Hopefully we work well together. We will find out Saturday when he joins us. In the meantime I am trying to pack all of my Air Force/Army gear in some logical manor so I can find it when and if I need it. Where are you Jill!?!?! Hopefully I make her proud.
