In-processing a new post






We are moved into our new home. It is a nice house with plenty of bedrooms (and especially bathrooms), and a small lake out back of the house. We got moved in, in a couple of days. We now have all of our stuff from Ft. Lee, Pennsylvania, and Germany all in one house again. There were several things damaged from the move, or storage, and we have 90 days to report on the damage in order to get reimbursed. All of the bedrooms are full and we still have half the garage full of boxes that have to be gone through.

I in-processed the post this week. In-processing went well. The folks at Fort Jackson are very nice and "customer friendly." It is not always like that. The last post I in-processed a lot of the folks there acted like we were bothering them and weren't friendly at all. That wasn't all of them, but it seems like the bad experiences make a bigger impression. I start classes next week. The folks at the Chaplain school have been such an encouragement. Most of the Chaplain's in my C4 class have been in the Army for awhile so they are gearing our class toward the more experienced. They are endeavoring to make it more of a Major's course than a Captain's course. Many of us will be promoted to Major while we are here and there are several that are already Major.

We find out this coming week where our next assignments are going to be. That will be a big day for all of us in the course.
