137!

Today is my 137th day in Korea; only 228 days left to go. It’s June 1st and the last day of a 4-day weekend for me. It’s been very hectic here the last month or so and I sure needed this break!

On Saturday I went to Seoul on the bullet train. I was looking for an adapter for my laptop so I could tap into the power source on the plane when I take my mid-tour later this month. No luck, not even in the Apple Store! I’m hoping I’ll be able to find one in the airport at Incheon before I depart. The flight home will take about 14 hours and it’d be nice to have the use of my laptop for more than 4 hours.

On Sunday I didn’t do much of anything. I went running in the afternoon and watched a couple of movies. I was exhausted and went to bed about 6:00. I didn’t wake up until 3:00 am and even then dozed for another hour.

Yesterday, I wrote the history of my AF Specialty Code (AFSC), a project for the Enlisted Heritage Research Institute. I’ve led a team of 7 who are scattered around the globe. We’ve corresponded via email and have done some pretty thorough research. The result is a 20 page history chronicling the AFSC from conception to where it is today. Just a few more details and it’ll be complete.

Today, I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I need to get a run in, that’s for sure. I think I’ll do a little reading. I’m currently reading the last book in the Ender Quartet, “Children of the Mind,” by Orson Scott Card. I also need to go to “Mike’s,” a Korean store in A-Town to pick up a jersey I had made for my granddaughter. It says “Lil’ Hawk Chief” on it and looks just like my jersey.
