October in Korea

So, its been exactly a month since my last blog. man, I really suck at keeping this up to date. Anyways, so the rest of my time in San Antonio was great. I had a birthday, which is always a good time. I went out with some friends for sushi and sake-bombers, and then to a couple places downtown. We ended up at this martini bar, and was doing pretty good until my friend Stacey showed up, which prompted the crazy shot buying binge. It was a great time, dancing, even though it wasn't really a dancing kind of establishment, but didn't matter to us!
Our last week there we did the field training for SERE (Survival, evasion, resistance, and escape.) We spent a week in the woods, and it wasn't exactly your typical camping trip. (No s'mores by the campfire, that would have been awesome though). We learned general field survival stuff, life building fires, find and building shelters, then navigation skills, evasion skills. And... I think thats all I can really say about it... the rest is classified... (so fun to say.)
So, now I'm back in the swing of things at Kunsan. They put me right to work in the clinic, and I feel like I never leave that place now. I'm trying to get all my training and paper trail taken care of so I can actually fly in the F-16 soon!
Last weekend was my first trip up to Osan. I went with Joanne, one of the other new flight docs here. She actually decided to try out for the womens basketball team for the base, so they have a couple scrimmages up there this weekend anyways. I think she is the sole officer on the team, at least she can get away with saying she's THE Capt on the team. :) Osan was good, much bigger than our little Kunsan, and, it has a Starbucks on base, what else could you ask for? Lots of families there, its just ridiculous they still consider it a remote location. We strolled around the shopping district during the day, watched Joanne's game, and then went out to dinner and a couple bars/"clubs" there at night. Nothing too crazy, although I can definitely see how things can get wild up there pretty quick. I unfortunately had caught a cold from one of the 10 thousand pts who came in with cold the last weekend, so I wasn't up for a whole lot anyways.
And, thats about it so far! More events coming up this month to write about inlcuding "Pantoberfest", my first Sweeps, and more Kunsan adventures!
No pics this time, I need to take some more!
