Rabbit ears

Tuesday. Today we started our interviews at 8 am and continued on until about 6 pm. Then at dinner I hunted down the folks who run the DFAC and I got a tour of the facility. You have to take advantage of opportunities when you see them...sometimes dropping in on people and pouncing on them with unexpected visits results in the best and most honest info. I even had to wear a goofy white paper hat that looked like a 1940's sailor. I asked if they were making me wear it to make me look funny or if it was a real requirement. It turned out that it was a rule to cover your hair when you go back in the kitchen.


Anyway, tonight at midnight Tom (co-worker) and I are going to go see the cargo convoys coming into the base. They get like 300 tractor trailers a night here so the operations will be good to see. Unfortunately we have to put our vests and kevlars on for good measure.

Here is a picture of two of my team members (John on the left and Tom on the right) posing with our PPE (personal protective equipment). This was taken this past Saturday.
