Fun in the Sun

Things has been extra busy over here lately. I am training my replacement on how to do my job while I am in the States. I leave in 10 days! It's going by pretty quickly. On one hand I want to stay here and continue working, because I know what I am doing, what my UNIT is doing, is very important. On the other hand, I need a BREAK!!! Seeing the same people and having the same schedule every day can get trying. I have barely thought about what I want to do while I am home. Well, I know I want to sleep and go to the beach! But I want to make sure this soldier knows how to do my job. I will be really mad if I have to come back here and fix a few weeks worth of mistakes!

I got a chance to go to the outdoor pool on post the other day. I've been there 3 or 4 times so far, on my days off from work. It's nice to be there, surrounded by people NOT wearing military uniforms. I played water volleyball with some people I met there, and I almost forgot where I was for a while...until an Apache helicopter flew right over the pool. Well, here is a picture. You can see me in the lower right hand corner (click on the picture to enlarge it), talking to some other people in my unit. Thanks for the bathing suit and sunglasses, Katie. As you can see, they are already being put to good use!
