Well its the night before we ship off between 5:30 and 5:45 for a day long trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to the FEMA office to receive all of our government issued equipment (laptop computer and blackberry cell phone). This is going to be a long day as it's a 3 hour drive down there and then 3 hours back once we receive all of our equipment and briefings on said equipment while there.
The last two days were filled with peeing in a cup for the drug test and doing the rest of the health screening and other trainings. Yesterday and today we completed the driver's training regiment and I am not a certified 15P (15 passenger van) driver. Its important to listen to these trainings as everyone will be spending a lot of time on the road this year traveling to and from SPIKE locations.
It's also great to know that I'm getting in a lot better shape now from doing PT 3 times a week as well as doing various other physical activities with everyone on other days. For instance today a group of us played basketball in the gym (the 96 degree gym might I add). We played that for a good hour and a half and it felt great but we all looked pretty gross! Right after that we played a game of Ultimate Frisbee which is awesome. We were all beat from the basketball game so only managed a quick game. I'm excited to keep this up and get back into shape (or at least a shape other than round).
Checking out for now. More to come after I go through our travels tomorrow.
