Relaxin' Jackson

Hey all!

I'm down here in beautiful Fort Jackson, South Carolina! I actually mean that, it's pretty nice down here. Much nicer than Fort Benning down in Georgia. Fort Jackson sits right next to Columbia, home of the Gamecocks! I'd like to see a game. I hear SEC football is crazy. One thing is for sure, they've got nothing on the PAC-10! Especially with a name like Gamecocks.

The Army is putting me to work! I work 6 day weeks and get just Sunday off. And the training I'm doing isn't traditional "military style" training. I actually am in a classroom for most of the day, which is alright with me, especially of late, because it has been raining alot. Plus, there is a tropical storm/hurricane headed this way. Florida and Georgia will most likely slow it down, but it will still bring rain and wind. Awesome.

The Army has put me up in a hotel here on post. It's just a regular, run of the mill hotel room. I get free cable and internet, clean towels, and everyday when I get back, my bed is made and my floor is vacuumed! It's like magic! Anyways, Myrtle Beach and Charleston are close by, so I might check one of those out one of these weekends. I really don't have any pictures of the area yet, but some are surely to come. That's all I got!
