_____I am now at Bagram Airfield (BAF). I moved into my little corner room and tomorrow we go to the rifle range to confirm our aim sights are valid. The flight was a long 2 hours from Manas, and we were glad to get off the plane. We are 8.5 hours ahead of EST, and I plan to make my first phone calls tomorrow around lunchtime NY time.

_____The base is very big, with so many people. Most everything I need is an easy walk, however. There is a quiet gym near my room, as well as a nice dining facility (d-fac) and the brigade HQ. There is also a rather nice morale building, called MWR, a few buildings over, which has internet, a 12 seat movie room, ping-pong, etc. The brigade we're replacing also built a grandiose firepit within the brigade compound with darts, and a large gazebo for breaks.

_____The rooms we stay in are called many things: B-hut, home, hutch (pronounced hooch), room, house, and so on. I'll use those terms interchangeably, so be informed of the slang.

_____Nothing much else to report except I start transitioning in a few days. I'll be sure to post after that goes for a while.
