March 03, 2005Installment 2 (My first few days in Germany)Ok, so by now you all know that I made it to Germany. I arrived here on the 28th of Feb. If you haven't already read the post before this one scroll down and you'll be all caught up. Ok, now you know about the travel here is how my first few days went. I arrived at 1000 on Monday. This according to my body was 0100. Needless to say I was starting to get tired. The two people I replaced met me at the terminal and picked me up. I arrived too early to check into billeting so they gave me the nickel tour of the base, or at lease what was left of it. Boy has this place changed. After a quick view of a bunch of closed buildings it was off to the shop. I am part of a detachment that is made up of people from several different specialties. I am the only Security Forces/Combat Arms person in the unit so this should be a pretty good gig. We are a pretty small detachment and while I can't say exactly what we do, I'll say that it sure as hell beats another trip to the sandbox. Life is somehow less stressful when there are no rockets flying. So I am getting settled in and should get back to full "blog" mode soon. SlagleRock Out! Comments
Glad to see you made it safely. Sounds like you had a nice stay in Baltimore, too! Posted by: Amy at March 3, 2005 07:52 AMDon't founder on that German Brew either. Posted by: Jack at March 3, 2005 02:21 PMPost a comment
