Safely arrived

Once I get a few more pictures of the base, I will try and describe the environment here.  I've been here about 42 hours, and have [I think] adjusted to the time change pretty well.  Below are some of the pictures leading up to my departure.

Fortunately, there are ample WiFi hotspots around here, so I am able to text my family and Skype daily.  I think that will help the separation from them, especially the little ones.  

My best friend and the strongest woman I know.  And beautiful, too.

So I pack like a woman.  I don't want to forget anything.

The Boogs.

6 months without HUGS???  My recruiter didn't tell me that!

Sweetest boy in this world.

More to come.  I will try to include some pics to give an idea of my setting here.  Sorry this is so brief.  Will make up for it next time!
