DAY 10, CAMP LIBERTY

I've been at work for two days. Standard hours are 7 AM - 9 PM everyday except Sunday (11 AM - 9 PM). Civilians get paid for 80 hours per week. Military get a pat on the back.

I work at Camp Victory in a trailer and live at Camp Liberty in a trailer. It's about a 4-5 mile drive to work (I carpool with three civilians). I don't have to share a room, but I have to walk about 100 yds to the bathroom/showers. Having a "dry" room sucks. Lt Colonels and above have "wet" rooms (sinks and showers).

The food is pretty bad -- mass produced, high calorie, and low quality. The air quality is terrible. Things just suck all around. It will take some getting used to, but I need to adapt quickly or I'm going to flip out.

169 days to go.
