Classes all day on IEDs, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), and first aid. Not at all exciting. Some time outside with simulated IEDs/UXOs which was fine for what it was but particularly useless for Germany. This afternoon the CRC informed me that they couldn’t get me a flight because of a problem with the accounting classification on my orders. I called my branch manager and he called Human Resources Command who insisted everything was fine but before that got sorted out of course the day ended, early for some probably, and it’s a long weekend so the matter won’t even be addressed further until Monday morning. The only good news, a paralegal NCO in the group who is also going to Germany spoke to the Commander and got us out of going to the range. I guess I’m spending the weekend at least in Georgia. Maybe I’ll have time to figure out how this blog is supposed to work and get it formatted pretty.
