The food

The food here is actually pretty good. Although you will hear guys constantly complain. The selection is good with lots of variety, fresh fruits, juices, etc. One thing you want to stay away from is the macaroni and cheese. This is one of my favorite dishes when prepared properly. I had a helping yesterday for lunch along with a salad and chicken. Twenty minutes later, I felt as though I had eaten a soccer ball. It seemed to morph into something hard. A lot like when you mix epoxy together. It was equally as difficult to expel the next day.

My days are starting to become routine:
0500 wake up
0515 drink 2 cups of coffee (I bought a coffee maker)
0530 Nature call
0545 workout at the gym (the place is packed, pt is serious here)
0700 shower and get dressed
0715 Morning chow (eggs and ham, oatmeal, bannana, fruit, and juice)
0730 off to work
1300 Lunch
1800 Work day ends
1800-2100 watch movies, study, etc.

I am becoming more familiar with my duties here and have carved out some projects to keep me busy. Everyone is great to work with. Military and civilian alike. Very relaxed atmospere. No micromanagement. As long as you do your job, don't break security protocols, or take the network down, you have nothing to worry about. Fox news and the O'Reilly factor are favorites here.

Good night from FOB Salerno
