Day 3

Today I slept in till 6:30. I never heard my roommate leave so at first I was worried he hadn't gotten up for his PT test. He had, and he passed. I go tomorrow.

We got inprocessed with the financial office and personnel today. After lunch we had a presentation on personal finance from the on-post bank. In my experience banks tend to be very liberal when it comes to debt, but these guys were very good.

Today I sat next to LTC Pattan. He’s in the OBLC course with all of us. He’s an OB/GYN and residency director with around 10 years or experience in private practice. He’s a direct ascension. Later I sat by 2LT Sobek. I noticed on his forms that he had 4 kids. He noticed the same about me. Guess what? LDS. Served is mission in the Philippines. I also met three more OD’s today.

After that we got split up into platoons and headed over to some banquet where we met some (or all?) of the commanding officers. They had some heavyh'orderves and a cash bar. I took at least my fair share of h'orderves and called that dinner. I was home by 5:30.

This is my roommate Marco Benito. He's a nurse.

This is the building where I'm staying. I'm on the third floor.

This is my desk and our lovely bathroom can be seen in the background.

My bed and closet.

Our floor lobby.


My hall's laundry room.

Some barracks just across the street from us. There are thousands of soldiers here being trained as medics and what not. They are all enlisted. There are 60 soldiers to a room there. I don't think they each have desks with internet and a flat screen TV either.
