So Far So Good

We've been at Camp Pendleton for just over a week now. Kevin hasn't officially started working and our stuff is not here yet. Our cute little house is full of air mattresses and what's been riding around in our van since December. I love this house. It's perfect for us. The only downsides are that we've been warned of rattlesnake problems and that there was most likely some type of arms storage in this area in the 1940's so if we dig up any metal objects we should probably leave them alone and give someone a call. It's a good thing I've watched almost every episode of NCIS so I can be prepared for such things.

Recreationally speaking, we could not have asked for a better location. We are next to the stables and just minutes away from the marina and beach. I think I may end up taking sailing lessons while we are here. I've always wanted to learn that lingo. There is also a lake here on the base that offers camping, fishing, paddle boats, miniature golf, etc. We could be fully entertained here so it's just a bonus that we are less than an hour away from some other pretty amazing places that usually end in 'world' or 'land'.

Kevin's office is down by the beach. He's working with the 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion. It sounds like an exciting group to work with (they have the fun tanks that go in the water). The other bonus with this assignment is that it doesn't look like he'll be deployed very soon. Once he gets in the swing of things next week, Kevin will have to get on here and explain his job. It's pretty interesting so far and he hasn't even started. As for me, I have my own training this weekend. I have much to learn for sure. I probably need to work on my military lingo before my sailing lingo. I can't get away with using terms like 'fun tanks' for very much longer.
