We received our uniforms, mine don't fit well, but I'll deal. Chicks in New York paying top dollar for this stuff. I got some swell navy glasses for free (fo' free?, fo' free! - SBHS joke), they're some real BCD's (navy joke). There was almost a mutiny about how much stuff we can bring to Fort Jackson. I am a bit over myself, but not much choice now on getting rid of it. A huge thanks goes to my old shipmate Ken Blackmon for picking me up for dinner a number of nights and taking me to the UPS Store to send some stuff back home. I wish I had sent more.
Most people leave here with bad taste due to the navy's "hurry up and wait" policy. We get together at a certain time and then end up waiting, sometimes for hours, for our turn to get things done. I heard it was bad before I got here, but I certainly did not expect it like it was. We get together at 0730 Saturday, but still don't know exactly when the busses will leave.
As a reminder, we're told that Internet access is limited in Fort Jackson, no wireless where we are. I will update when I can.
