Well it has only taken a few days for the routine to start setting in; start time for the business day is around 0730 and the day closes around 1930 (7:30pm for you civilians). Meals and PT happen in there somewhere. I'm skipping lunch right now to get in PT at the gym and to limit the plates of food I'm stuffing down my pie hole.
We did take Sunday morning off this week - so you, the American tax payer, will get roughly 70 hours, give or take a few, a week out of me. Having said that, there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in Anbar, Basarah and Mosul giving you around 120 hours a week. I was thinking today as I walked the New Embassy Compound that I was suffering at 110 deg F without battle rattle while there are guys & gals on patrol with 35 pound vests + helmet + combat gear. It is incredible what we are asking of them. Off the soap box...
It won't be long until Ground Hog Day becomes reality.

Jonny says to drill a hole in the ceiling of your storage unit residence and maybe you can get better internet!!!
Hey pop... Like the new update. BTW don't ever listen to Uncle Brizy.
OK, no combat gear, but what do you take to work? Laptop? Blackberry? M-16? Pepper Spray? Tea Set? Slippers?
Brian - that's just stupid; what I did was place a wire hanger on my laptop to improve reception. I thought you guys were in the industry...
Cooper - preach on, my boy.
DrewDog - each day I leave my little Chu for work with my backpack filled with PT gear, my empty coffee mug awaiting liquid sunshine and a huge smile just to brighten someone's day. That lasts until the 100 degrees wipes the smile off. I hit breakfast and join in to a video teleconf to find out what the big boys know. Then off to my cube where I have multiple systems that all kick in a password screensaver as soon as I log into the other one - thereby defining my day's objerctive - kinda like a habi-trail for staff officers.
