Team meeting day

This is a shot of my room.

This is another shot of my room. Notice the Harley bedset...one of those things they failed to tell us we needed. Thank god for Wal-Mart.

We made it to Ft. Reilly about 2030 last night. We met our commander and got our room assignments for the first week here. We’re staying in dorm rooms on Custer Hill. I think everyone was ready to get settled in and get some sleep. I know I was after the Friday that never seemed to end. When we got our room keys we were told that we would be sharing a room with someone. I lucked out because I have yet to get a roommate. And my traveling partner is right across the hall. We’re doing brunch today. Today should be a light day with only a few briefings. I’m hoping to check out the post a little and stop by the BX, sorry the PX.
When we got here the staff split us up into two teams. Team one got all the brass. They have a full bird colonel, a light colonel, a couple captains, and a few lieutenants. The rest of the team is enlisted. My team is very young and my boss is a lieutenant. He seems like a really good guy so far. I’m his NCOIC since I am the ranking enlisted. I am also the oldest person on our team. The other lieutenant on our team doesn’t let me forget this. I kid him because he looks like he’s fifteen and he kids me about my titanium hip replacements.
This afternoon we took it upon ourselves to do a little PT. The lieutenant decided it would be good to see where everyone was at conditioning wise. So we took a leisurely three mile run around the golf course. Did I tell you it gets windy here??? Well, it gets windy here and that made it even more difficult for some. Having my Zune made it a lot more enjoyable. (Thanks darlin’) And guess who finished before the young lieutenant? He still bugs me about replacement hips.
