UPDATE!

Hey! It's Sunday night, and I am recovering from an awesome weekend. Friday I got upped to Phase 2 status which means I can leave base and pretty much go anywhere as long as I am back by 11:30 pm. So Saturday a bunch of us went to the mall, where though unusual I showed contraint when using my debit card.... trust me it was really hard. Then we went to the beach where I laid out all day long,... It WAS GLORIOUS! I am starting to think Florida may actually be pretty awesome. We stayed at the beach until dark and made it back just in time to have a beer on base before we had to check in.
I have met some pretty cool people here, but still miss my Minnesota pals. One good thing is that because I am not starting school for a couple months, I am able to get an out of area chit, which means I may be able to fly home for a weekend. I am looking forward to trying that, possibly for halloween weekend... that's always a fun one. Anyway,,,, until then I will be working on my tan.
Oh I also start my "job" tomorrow until I go to school. It will be interesting to see what that is as it could be any number of things. I will keep you all posted! LOVE LOVE
