It’s Wednesday night and I’m in my room. I’m typing this post in my text editor for posting later. I’ve signed a contract with a local provider and should have a DSL account on Jan 31.
My room is okay. It’s basically a 1-bedroom apartment and was vacated by the person I replaced. I have a living room, kitchen, full bath and of course, a bedroom. I’m sitting at the desk in the living room as I type. The furniture is typical GSA (Gov’t Service Agency) stuff and is well-used, although still in very good condition. The walls are bare and off-white in color. The living room is furnished with a couch, chair, coffee table, desk and 32-inch TV. The living room also has a sink and mirror and a very large closet. The kitchen has a bar that serves as a table, a full-size refrigerator, small stove and oven and a microwave. The cabinet space is sufficient for my needs. The bedroom also has a sink and large closet, a nightstand, a full-size bed and an armoire.
It’ll be nice to get my household goods, so I can make the place a little more “homey.”
The wing chiefs put together a “Hale” (as in “Hello”) for me and another new chief. There are 16 chiefs in the wing. I’m one of three group chiefs, the others manage various squadrons within the groups. The “Hale” took place in the “Chief’s Den,” our lounge (squadron lounges are unique to Kunsan…I’ll write more on lounges later).
The chiefs gave me the chief’s group coin and cap. The group chiefs also presented a “Hawk Chief” jersey (the medical group commander is called “Hawk,” conversely, I’m the “Hawk Chief;” the Mission Support Group chief is “Falcon Chief;” Operations Group is “Viper Chief;” Maintenance Group is “Phoenix Chief;” the 8th Fighter Wing is known as the “Wolf Pack,” so naturally, the wing commander is “Wolf” and the command chief is “Wolf Chief.” The group chiefs were also responsible for the basket of Korean goodies and card that was waiting for me when I arrived.
The jersey is very nice and was made my a local Korean vendor.
