Our flight out of Gulfport was at 0600 this morning and while I didn't like the idea of that it did make us the first group into Fort Jackson. Camp McGrady is a small area of Fort Jackson that is shared between the Army, Navy, and South Carolina National Guard. This will be home for the next 2-3 weeks while we get training on various weapons, land navigation, HUMVEE driving, and convoy ops. That would all be pretty valuable training were I going to Afghanistan or Iraq, but going to Djibouti I won't use any of it. I'm looking forward to it though as it taps into my childhood fun of playing GI Joe in the creeks around my house.

I haven't stayed in open bay berthing since Officer Candidate School (OCS).
We have a small group this week and not even half of these will be filled. |
