I am here in Wichita Falls Texas. Sheppard AFB. HSA school. I found the Starbucks. Things are good. I have been here for just over a week now, and the class is going well. There are even a few other officers that were in COT with me that are now here and I am getting to know better. We have a relativley small class (34 folks or so) compared to some of the other HAS classes, but I prefer that anyway.
PT here (Physical Training) is better than it was at COT. Instead of getting up at 0400 for it, we get up at 0500. Amazing how relative time becomes, ain't it? PT consists of a 30 minute run and 3 games of competitive volleyball. I only played volleyball once in my life. I was stationed in Germany at the time, and about 38 seconds into the game, someone served a ball and it hit me in the face and broke my nose. And my glasses. I haven't played since. So, I was a little nervous about the whole volleyball thing, but I played and even scored a few points during serves.
My Florida blood is not used to the cool nights and even cooler mornings here. As the month rolls on and we get closer to winter, I am actually feeling cool most of the time. I don't like cold. Never have, not likely to ever will. But, that is ok. I have a coat. And a sweater. And socks. So again, life is good.
I am meeting some nice people in class, and since the entire MSC (Medical Service Corps) is pretty small, we will all likely run into each other again in the future. We all eat together in the evenings and sometimes during lunch. The days are a bit shorter, but the workload (and information for class) is more extensive. But so far I have been doing well, and even enjoying myself. After all, I found the local Starbucks.
