So on Sunday me and the five others in my group board a plane to Philadelphia. The flight is only an hour as we flew direct from Norfolk to Philly. This in itself is a testament to how Norfolk is growing.

Anyway, get to Philly and call the Raid Rover Cab. We call this cab company because our orders say to. We are told the cabbie would be there in about an hour and a half. The lady at the counter is kind enough to give us one of the pager coaster things like you get when you go to Longhorn or a place like that. So we all go eat and then we are paged to head to the base.

After some misadventures we finally get to where we are going to stay and are put up into this temporary room.

The following day we are welcomed to the base and told mainly what we are not allowed to do. We were also put into our permanent room. That is all we did yesterday.

This morning we got up at 5 am so we could go get more gear issued to us. That was done in an hour. I now have three full bags of gear that has been issued to me in the last week.

So here it is 9 a.m. Eastern Time and I have nothing to do until 5 p.m. this afternoon, when we have a class to attend.

No wonder this training takes 45 days
