Well my first day here at sunny Ft. Jackson. Laid back and an opportunity to “acclimate” get things in order and ready for training to begin in earnest on Monday. Had some great Army food in the dining facility or DFAC.
Rubbed shoulders with a chaplain who is going through training as well; chaplains, priest, men of the cloth and Nutz is not something that goes together well in the minds of most who know me. However military chaplains play a very important role in the psychological and emotional well being of soldiers and sailors. When I was a young officer in the Army I leaned heavily on the chaplains to solve difficult personal problems. Their wealth of knowledge and non judgmental approach really helped. I was quite disappointed in the Navy’s use of chaplains. In the Army we had one at every battalion. In the Navy you are lucky if you get one for the whole battle group. A shame.
Met most the officers who will be working in the program that I am a part of. A good day, even went for a short run around the compound. Was a nice day sunny, clear, relatively warm.
Tomorrow is some in processing stuff in the morning then off to get all of our tactical gear/TA-50/RFI stuff. Bring on the K-pot and MOLLE gear!
