Greetings from Fort Jackson!

Howdy, howdy! I made it through the mobilization site in sunny Gulfport, MS, and now I am in sunnier South Carolina (actually, both places are blindingly bright and hot). Training with the Army begins tomorrow morning (early... really, really early). Ah... three weeks of fun with the Army - can't wait! Oops... the sarcasm filter wasn't turned on. Anyhow, I am trying to keep a positive attitude - I am a little anxious, but I attribute it mostly to that sort of nervousness that comes from being in a new situation. Heck, I'm already working on my farmer's tan, and who knows what sort of excitement they have planned for us? Later, alligators!
