CST

So alot has happened. I said goodbye to my amazing, funny son the other day, but I was too sad and busy to make time to blog about it. I arrived at my Combat Skills Training for my deployment yesterday and trying to square everything at home before I left was an adventure. Of course I'm finding that there's a bunch of stuff I forgot (my flashlight, PT pants and jacket, and other misc items), but it could be worse. Hey, at least I eventually got a little bit of sleep last night (I was up for 44 hours with maybe an hour nap on my flight here!)

I'm currently sharing a room with 7 other females (who got in later than me and made a ruckus while I was trying to sleep!) and in about an hour and a half the entire training class has a briefing and then the fun begins. I'll be here for a month and the rules are simple but understandably sucky, lol. No drinking, no leaving base, no civilian clothes, no gambling, no porn, no driving or riding in any non-government vehicle so there's some-- have yet to be seen-- shuttle that we're supposed to use to get from point A to point B on base/post. Well time for me to do work left over from my base, hopefully I'll be done with it sooner than later so I can fully concentrate on my training and deployment.
