Finally getting down to the real training today. I spent 7 hours at the Red Cross getting certified in CPR, first aid, and those automatic defibrillators they have now. Its kind of intimidating, knowing that if I see someone in trouble now, its MY duty to help them until someone more experience shows up. That's a lot of responsibility!

They had room inspections today. About 95% of us failed. They want us to keep military-level cleanliness in here (it IS an old air force base, after all). I understand they were being particularly harsh for the first one in an attempt to get us into good habits early on, but I have to object to getting in trouble for having ANYthing in the garbage can. Even a single scrap of paper will get you in trouble. Do they expect us to take the garbage out every night? (They do.) That seems a bit wasteful. I thought this was an environmentally friendly program. I'll have to start a petition or something.

Anyway, off to bed with me. Tomorrow starts the hardcore early-morning fitness training. Wish me luck.
