Another week of orientation complete and again they've done a great job with the training, including mixing in offsite trips. No amount of caffeine could get me even close to our instructors' energy level. Yesterday we had a class barbeque and we almost got thrown out of the place I reserved for it, so that clearly was a good time.
We _FINALLY_ made a decision on our permanent housing for a variety of reasons: we're going to rent. We found a good place that, among other things, should result in about a 40 minute commute for me. The location also has quite the international selection of restaurants: japanese, peruvian, ethiopian, latin american, kabobian, and even an international house of pancakes. It looks like it'll only be an hour bike ride to work too, so that could work.
This week will end with our official swearing-in, so that's very cool. Next week I'll take an overseas security course then start work - and hopefully get a better line on my first assignment(s). Interesting times!
