God Bless the Navy

16JAN07 Tuesday. “Officially” Checked into Anacostia Navy Base. It’s adjacent to Bolling AFB. Just across the Potomac from the Ronald Regan (National) Airport. Moreover, we got an opportunity to see HMX-1 Helo Squadron. These are the guys who fly the President around. And, we found that the Class we are to be in starts “Next” Monday – the 21st of Jan. So, it seems I have a week off to see the sights of Washington, DC. Slept-in til 6:30AM. Got some Breakfast and sought out a Post Office….Why, gonna send home some Army Stuff I don’t need. Like 3 Desert Boots, a Mosquito Net, a 2 Quart Canteen (already have a camel back and some canteens), etc., etc. Did, break the code for the Metro (again). Got to DC and took some pictures. Found where our Class is to be held. Did, work some “issues” regarding my Orders. Too lengthy to discuss here.

17JAN07 Wednesday. Well, guess this Hotel living is catching up to me. I know have a Cold. And, the Temps are dropping to the mid 20’s. Moreover, with this “Tough” Navy Schedule will try to get down to the SPY Museum. Was Kinda neat. The Cold is kicking my Butt. Will call it an early evening. Tomorrow will try to get to the Aquarium. Still attempting to Square-Away the “issues” regarding my Orders
