second day

update: Don't use the military email address I gave out. I don't have access to it anymore. If you've sent anything to it, please send it again to my gmail account.

Life is good. I'm somewhere on the way to Haiti. We are going 'the long way' so we get there about the same time as the others meeting us there. We are in the Bermuda Triangle! How cool is that?

I like the rolling of the ship. It's weird and different. I'm rocking back and forth as I write this and it is a totally cool feeling.

The water is beautiful. A blue color I've only ever seen in a tube of paint. Aquamarine? Gorgeous. I have found that anywhere I have to go onboard can be rerouted so that I 'have' to go outside to get there. This is easy to do since even tho I live on the lowest level, and muster in a low level, and you'd think I'd never see the light of day, I have to come up to a main level to get there. Why not go outside to do it?

Met with our commander yesterday to get my assignment. I'm working in the library while we are 'underway' and filling in wherever needed. When we get to our destinations I will be working on 'com rels' re: going on shore to help with community projects. We've had lots of briefings to go to and lots more on the schedule today. {I'm in the Navy now!} Love the briefings, feels official. {I can hear you laughing Ben}
