First leg of the journey, first step

Today I flew to some Army base to begin a few weeks of training. There was supposed to be five of us on the flight. The whole trip went off well enough except one person missed the flight, the unit forgot to activate the government credit cards, one person had a government card that had expired 6 months ago and no personal credit card. . . But we managed to do just fine. It is all pretty much straightened out now. The Army has us in a standard motel in the neighborhood; nothing I can complain about yet.
