Brent made it to the base today around noon our time. He is 8 hours ahead there. Everyone made getting their computers and internet hooked up a high priority. I was able to speak to him via the webcam and Skype, which is internet phone. He was in good spirits and eager to absorb as much intel from the people he is relieving before they go home in a few days. The next few days will be very busy as he gets accustomed to the routine on the base.
He has a trailer of his own, with a few amenities. And the guy who lived there before him has left him a bunch of stuff to use-pillow, comforter, and the like. The internet in the trailer is pretty slow and we had to choose whether we wanted to see each other or talk to each other. I was just so happy to have contact with him. :) His trailer is one away from the bunker, so if something goes down he won't have far to go to take cover. I told him that my phone calls really paid off in that respect ;) Like I really have Any pull whatsoever, LOL.
Brent is in charge of the maintenance and has two offices and his own Gator to get around the base. He has internet in his office, which we hope will allow us to use both the phones and the webcams.
Anyway, he seems a little tired, but anxious and excited to start his duties. I will update when I know more.
Christmas Hat Day
Mandatory good cheer on our annual shopping trip to buy for each other
