Finally!

I finally have internet on my laptop!!! We don't have internet in our rooms but we can plug in at the USO at work. A few buildings have wireless, but I've been having issues with connecting wirelessly here on base. Ah, well.

So, today the high was 57 degrees and it was soooo cold and windy on the flight line. Especially when you have to stand outside for 25 minutes waiting for people to get their butts moving. But, that's ok because it's all for the benefit of our wounded warriors.

Today I got to help load and unload litters from aircraft. That was really cool. Everyone is really nice and it wasn't as stressful as it seemed when I was at Andrews for annual tour. Don't get me wrong, carrying people on a piece of mesh with two poles is pretty stressful. The good thing is that if we feel as if we can't carry the person, there is always someone there to help.

The people on my shift aren't high strung and everyone works hard and works together. I'm told that some of the other shifts aren't like that. I'm glad I'm on the shift I'm on.

I work day shift 6-6. Right now my schedule is kind of messed up because I'm still training, but it will settle down next week.

I'm having an interesting time with the time change. Being 6 hours ahead from home is a really big difference. Most people take about 1-2 weeks to adjust fully. I've had a total of 11 hours of sleep since I got here on Friday afternoon.

Well, I'm starting to space out which means my mind and body will not stay awake for much longer. I'll try to take some pictures and put them up later this week.

Hope all is well at home!

Tschüs!
