Day 2.
Today was basically an orientation day. We had to be to the building by 9, so, me and the two guys I know got up around 7ish and ate breakfast and we were done pretty quick, so I went and laid down for about 30 more minutes and then got ready and headed over. Orientation was basically all about safety, health, protecting equipment and a bunch of stuff, took several hours, we signed some stuff and then they sent us to lunch, after lunch, we went with our instructors to where we will be having class. We talked for about 3 minutes and then he released us for the day, about 2 1/2 hours earlier then a normal day. So, we went back, changed and a few people were going to the mall so we tagged along ("we" is me and the two guys from my unit) I got a new pillow since the ones supplied in our rooms are pretty much crap. I also got a Georgia Lottery ticket, $1 not well spent, I lost. After that, we went back to base, had dinner, and a little later I went running with the guys from home. I finished my day off with a shower and about 4 episodes of The Big Bang Theory, I am getting obsessed with this show.
Day 3.
Class starts at 9, so we did breakfast and headed to class (woke up a little later this time) Today we just basically went over power point slides talking about the equipment, we have our first quiz on Thursday, 67 questions!! Our instructor had some meeting at 1 pm today so he let us out at noon, and we had the rest of the day to do whatever. . So, we borrowed the truck and one other guy came along and we went downtown to "The Riverwalk" it's nothing like San Antonio's, same concept I guess, but it was more wide open and kinda crowded.. Either way, we went through a bunch of shops and it started down pouring while we were in the "Candy Kitchen" (a nice little candy shop that makes there own fudge and salt water taffy and ice cream, we tried a few things, they were all delicious) We just sorta hung out and slowly meandered down the walk, we asked some lady working where some good BBQ was, and she told us.. So we headed that direction (we had to drive) The place she told us was closed though, so, she had told us a second place that was across the street. We went there, it was pretty decent, but I think most of us want to hit up the first place she recommended, she said this guy had won every award you could possibly win with his bar-b-que. So, it should be good. Anyways, we came back to base, I came in my room and fell asleep (Not a good idea, because now I won't be able to fall asleep for my bedtime, so, it looks like i'll be watching some more Big Bang Theory tonight. Anyways, this place is pretty cool, we have a lot more to see and do in the town and the guy running this place wants to take everyone on a tour of Savannah and explain the history of the town and different areas, so that should be pretty cool. Anyways, hope all is well with everyone in Utah. Bye.
