Ok, slept a few hours last might and I am feeling refreshed and ready to start my first day in Korea. Koreans call their country “the land of the morning calm”. Well, I have been up for an hour or so and I can attest to it being the land of the morning quiet anyway. I have been waiting for the sunrise but that ain’t happening yet, so I guess I’ll give up and get dressed for work.

Today I expect will be devoted to administrative paperwork getting me on the Army payroll. But I should come out of this day with that coveted DoD ID card which will allow me free movement on the base. Then maybe my ration card so I can access the PX and commissary. My room has a microwave and refridgerator, so I can start eating like a bachelor once I stock up on the requisite comfort foods.

I’ll be back tonight with news of the day.
