First Training Day

Today was the first day of training, and I'm already worn out! We sat and listened to all our benefit options and then had to fill out a bunch of paperwork, which isn't that bad, unless you have to get up really early like we did. There were definitely a few times when some of us were having trouble keeping our eyes open :) I finally met my trainer, Juergen, and I think I'm going to enjoy working with him. He's very nice and seems to know a TON about MWR and the people in it, so it should be a true pleasure to work with him and learn from him. There are 10 trainees in the program and everyone seems to be nice. There are 5 of us that are staying state-side and 5 of us that will be going to Germany. I've made friends with a few and I think we're going to go into DC to do some tourist things this weekend (the Smithsonian, some of the national monuments, etc.), so we should have a good time. Alright, I'm tired, so this is the end of this post. Good night!
