I haven't a chance to blog in a while. I've been busy with my ventures in Natick, Massachusetts and my moving to Joint Bast Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington. I must say that my Army experience has improved quite dramatically than when I was in AIT and basic training. The biggest thing I've discovered about myself is how much I enjoy exploring. When I wasn't being experimented on, I had a blast just exploring Boston and seeing all of the nearby towns. In fact I was surprised how practical it was from running on foot from one town to another. I tried various chowders and was not disappointed. One of my coworkers even took us to the New England Conservatory Philharmonic which was quite a pleasant experience.
Near the end of my Natick adventures, for St. Patrick's Day, we visited the Sam Adams Brewery for a BOSS (Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers) trip. Something I have always wanted to do since I am a huge fan of Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat beer. I must say though that there was a beer that was very exclusive to the brewery and was only distributed to a few local bars in Boston: Sam Adam's Irish Red. Red beers are right now my favorite beers, and this red beer is without a doubt my favorite. I have no idea why it's not distributed wider. I also learned a lot about beer and how it's made. I was surprised to learn how relatively easy it is although it makes sense since humanity has been brewing beer for millennia.
I definitely will miss Natick, but Washington looks just as promising. After I was done with in-processing which was needlessly a week long, I finally moved into my permanent living quarters. I must say that my barracks room is a lot more comfortable in Washington. Not only do I get my own bedroom, but it also comes with a walk-in closet. The common area that I share with only one roommate (who never seems to live here) has its own washer and dryer! Aside from my improved living conditions, JBLM is located near Seattle and Tacoma. As soon as I get my car, I can't wait to start exploring.
