365 days to go?

-My room in billeting, that I get to share-

So, technically I am two days of work down on my 365. However, I am not sure if the counter has officially started since, due to a small exercise, I have yet to start in processing. Since I haven't started in processing I wasn't able to participate in the joke of an exercise. I got to sit around, in my dress uniform for two days and watch TV. I wasn't allowed to get sleep and work off some my jet lag, which is a pain. I did get to sit around for twelve hours a day and watch football and movies. I am a little peeved about the whole thing, or a least I was until the exercise was cut short this afternoon due to and incident between the North and South Koreans in the yellow sea which, sent the whole base into standby.

Good news is that tomorrow I start in processing and, no more blues for a while. Additionally at the end of the month, once I am done in processing, I will be moved to swing shift. This is going to make communication a whole lot easier with the time difference in the states.

There is still no word on how long it will be before I am actually moved into a dorm room, for now I get to stick it out in billeting. Apparently this base is big on rooming coworkers in the same area and, the room quad that I would have been moved into was recently flooded by the juveniles that used to live there. It flooded when they shot the fire suppression system in the ceiling with a pellet gun and, set it off.
