So, I'm in Fort Benning. Right now everyone else that's going to Iraq (Baghdad, Tikrit, and Balad), Afghanistan, and Kuwait (our 5 deployment locations) are in training... they have been for about 7 hours and will be for another 5 hours... it's one of the rough days. Fortunately for me, since I deployed within the past 12 months, I don't have to do this training again... another perk to deployments only being 4.5 months long and being able to go twice in a year. Thus far my previous training has sufficed a few times, for which I am infinitely grateful.
Friday: arrival, billeting... and then nothing.
Saturday: briefings/CBT
Sunday: briefings/additional CBT`
Monday: Med-Shed
Tuesday: SRP and CIF
Wednesday: TSIRT training
Acronyms and other bits for inquiry
CBT - computer based training
CIF - central issue facility (where we get all of our gear)
JAG - no idea what this stands for, but they're the legal side of the military... go here for powers of attorney and/or wills
Med-Shed - kind of self-explanatory - we have to be medically cleared in order to be able to go into theatre
SRP - soldier readiness processing (a whole bunch of different stations... ID cards, chaplain, JAG)
TSIRT - theatre specific individual readiness training... basically it's a big white tent in which we're briefed. a lot.
