Day 1

Today is my first day away from home. I'm at Fort Benning, GA in-processing for a week. Today is just briefings, but the next few days will be filled with uniform and equipment issue, qualifying on the M4 at the range, medical examinations etc. I have met several people who I will be working with in Afghanistan and there are a few I see myself becoming friends with. I'm trying not to clique off with any particular group right now like some are doing, but continuously indroducing myself to new people to keep my options open. Does that sound bad? I just don't want to lock in on one group if they aren't the type of people I want to spend alot of time with. I mean, its 6 months with these people. I found out that I'm leaving for England on 24 September until 11 October and I heard rumors that we may have some free time there. Free time in England would be awesome. Ok, until next time!
