We are now coming to you live from Fort Gordon, GA! My internet connection got up yesterday, I have a cell phone and I'm just starting to get my bearings in the area.
They gave me a barracks room. Now, at first I wasn't sure if I would be living on or off post, but I want to assure you that's not a bad thing. This place has seperate rooms and everything. It's the nicest barracks room I could have ever possibly imagined. If anyone ever wants to come visit, I've got a couch for you.
I've also got a phone number and address. If you want either, maybe you should send me an e-mail and I'll tell you.
I haven't officially started work yet, but they're basically throwing the public affairs program for the entire brigade at me and seeing what I'll do with it. I've recieved zero guidance, aside from the importance of getting the quarterly newsletter out on time (which the last guy did not do). I'm stepping into a relatively simple position with unlimited freedom, and I'm guaranteed to outperform the guy before me. This rocks.
I'm looking forward to spending the next four or five years here (minus TDY's). I'm in the process of making it a home. By the time the rest of my stuff arrives in May, I should be relatively comfortable here.
In the meantime, I kind of miss my playstation.
Everyone's invited to come visit. |
