Got to my new home late Sunday. Well, not that late here but considering my body is still 4 hours ahead of these people, IT WAS LATE.

Damn Jet lag. The room was nice, got to unpack before I got taken to the debrefing. Had a nice talk. Confidential crap blah blah blah. You know the story.

Did pretty ok on the obstacle course but the jet lag and time away from the force did show a little. Don't have cargo nets at the gym. Hell, haven't seen cargo nets before this since... 

Hmm. When was the last 'training in the military' themed movie I saw?

Anyways. Obstacle course went ok, Firearms was a bit better, After that it got boring. Probably should have chosen my words and actions a tad better when they got around to asking about other skills.

Still He asked and it's his fault for making me feel like I was back in high school.

By the time I got back to my room, I just flopped onto the bed and went to sleep.

Now that I'm awake and have a little more time to look around I have to say.

What a view. Beats staring at pavement.

But today should be busy as well. Time to learn the cover story.

Did I mention the view is great?
