OCS Day One complete & Postal Address

Day one in Delta Company is complete! Technically HHC still owns me, but in practice, I'm now in an Officer Candidate School (OCS) class. I'm class 01-10 since it's the first class of fiscal year 2010. That means our branching should be pretty good. There are more selections available for early classes.

@Anna: No, but the MRE is what the Army is known for, I guess. :) If we ate an MRE for every meal, we'd all get fat. An MRE has 1500 to 2300 calories... that's in one MRE. Therefore, an MRE is actually meant for when we're out in the field and burning an insane number of calories. Right now I probably burn less than 3000 calories. Maybe less than 2300 on days I don't do my 5 mile run (my run is Monday, Wednesday, Friday). In the field I'll need two MREs plus one field chow each day to supply my body with energy. It's intense.

Do you use Blogger too?

@Henry: Thanks for the photo tips. I appreciate it a lot! Upon examining my camera documentation, I discovered that it doesn't center-focus by default. Instead it picks the highest contrast vertical line. In my airborne jump towers picture, it probably didn't see enough contrast in the towers so the focus went to infinity. I cannot adjust my focus manually on an SD850 IS. However, I can set it to use normal center-focus, and I did. Hopefully now it will be a lot sharper in shots like that.

I also got a notice today about when my G11 will arrive. The answer? October 28 to November 5th... I guess Canon is swamped with demand. It is a gorgeous sounding camera, after all. :) When this arrives, I'll be able to adjust my ISO and focus, etc and edit RAW images, which means a lot more learning for me... er, in and around OCS which will take 26+ hours each day.

@Mdog: All you need is some Bacon salt. :-D
