Yes, I am the ultimate white guy. My current training is causing a nice sunburn to manifest itself. I’ve got lots of video clips of the training process itself, and will be shooting video of my entire deployment whenever appropriate. Some of the material may make its way into this blog from time to time. Photos will definitely be a part of my sharing this experience.
So, to get things started, here I am after another long day of training to operate a military news satellite uplink/downlink system. It’s rather large, sorry if you have a small monitor. I’m even sorrier if the image causes any damage to your monitor.
It’s been interesting weather to say the least. While my flesh has been nicely cooked by the rays from above, rain has been intermittently falling, and thunderheads have been hovering in the near distance threatening all the participants in our enclave with imminent danger from above.
