The US Army: waging a war on fitted sheets since 1775

Hello, all, and greetings from beautiful Fort Bragg, NC!

I made it here safe and sound yesterday, and lemme tell you--I have about 23 blog posts that I need to make right now. But not until tomorrow...

I know, I know, you're dying for fresh content, and you'll have to trust me--there are some jems, and I'll do each and every one of them justice tomorrow.

For now, let me throw everyone a little taste.

When we walked into the office to which we reported yesterday evening--at 7PM, no less, which is a loooong story unto itself--Captain Lifetime (more to follow on her) pointed us to a pile of army linens that we were to take to our rooms. All of our hearts sank--these are the same sheets we had at Jackson, and I immediately thought "Yep, we're getting put in open bay barracks after all."

However, much to my surprise and shortlived delight...we took these linens, and made up real beds in real barracks rooms. Basically, we're living in the 82d Airborne Division's barracks while all their guys are down range Surging, keeping freedom free, and/or fighting the terrorists where they live (so the rest of us don't have to fight them here).

Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Hold that thought, and I'll be back again tomorrow with more...
