Raven Pride

Raven Unit, at our "Unit Reveal" - My unit for the year, as revealed on Monday

The Point is poppin'!  And as you can see, it's been a week and I'm still as uncool as ever.  But it has been busy here, and it will only get busier as we go along.

I arrived at Baltimore/Washington International Airport last week after a brief 1-hour flight from Boston.  A shuttle to the Point brought me back to ol' Building 15 where I met up with the staff and received the keys to my house.  The first day was fairly easy-going, and ended with grocery shopping and settling into our new houses.  I've got four other roommates, all from various parts of the country, a great group of guys I've gotten close with quickly.  There's no better start than having a living space with people you get along with well.

After a laid back weekend, we were prepared for our first day of training on Monday.  It's been pretty busy, considering the hours of training, the coordination and driving of vehicles, our physical training schedule, paperwork, physicals, and meetings; not to mention, a 3-mile run around the Point last night with a few other members of staff at pace much faster than my norm. Needless to say, I'm pretty tired, as is the rest of Team Green, but it is the kind of schedule that keeps me energized.

Four weeks of solid training ahead, and more blogs to follow!
