9 Mar 08 - Shellshocked

I was rudely woken this morning by the sound of artillery simulators going off all around our building. At first I thought that a propane tank or something had exploded. I stumbled to the door to investigate and noticed that there were actually a bunch of Air Force guys outside running around practicing administration of medical care in a combat zone. Of course this required more artillery simulators than the taliban, al-qaeda, iraq, and iran have mortars combined.

Once I realized what was going on and came to the conclusion that I wouldn't get more sleep this morning, I got in my PT (physical training) gear and went for a run.

For the rest of the day we just shopped for some gear, laid around, and played some games. A bit of a down day, I'd say.

We did have church this evening. It was nice to be able to go to church services and remember what day today really is. It's easy to forget the Lord's day when you are doing the same stuff every day of the week. So it's nice to at least dedicate a portion of that day to Him.
