The adventure begins. The first stop on the way to Afghanistan was a 4 day stop in Winchester, VA at the US Army Corps of Engineers Transatlantic Center. While there, our group received some basic training for first-aid, anti-terrorism and survival...but we mostly spent our time filling out more administrative paperwork and getting stuck with needles. As you can see from the deployment photo, I was the youngest in the group by nearly 10 years. I'm shocked that half of the guys in the group even passed the physical.
