More nothing and a scare
So not a lot going on here outside of the garrison life. I think a persons tolerance for BS goes way down after a deployment and continues downward with each subsequent deployment. You eventually get to the point where you just don’t care about all the garrisonitis and lack of the common sense factor. For example, when its 40F outside and you are still required to wear clothing as though it was -40F outside. No common sense factor allowed.
Anyway, things are getting along. Our people are still leaving and the new meat is still a bit off. So everything is getting done with the same small group of people everyday. The thing is – it is getting done. You know you are low in manning though, when officers and senior NCOs have brooms and mops in their hands cleaning bathrooms.
We had a real world mission the other day. That came as a surprise considering we are still in “reset” and our equipment is all in different places and different stages of repair. We managed to load a bird and get in the air though. The patient got to the hospital intact, and it was good PR for everyone involved, especially since we weren’t even supposed to pick up that duty again.
