Back to our regularly scheduled program....of sorts.

Hello everyone,

It has been a couple of months, but I'm back into the blogging fold. I'm heading back to the South Pole for a couple of months doing weather observations yet again, but this time, things may feel a little different the second go around. Most of the novelty of the sense of adventure has worn off, but I'm always ready for new experiences.

For example, I decided to try out another part of the Emergency Response Team. I would be on the first response IF I get to go to Pole, which leads me to my other main experience thus far. Currently, I'm at McMurdo Station waiting to go to the South Pole, but weather in the area is making that trek a little more difficult. I'm staying in one of temporary housing units in McMurdo in Bldg. 166, a.k.a, Hotel California (Eagles Reference), a.k.a., Man Camp. Yep, a bunk house with 30 other guys. It kind of reminded me of my first couple of days over in Marine Corps Boot Camp...

Anyway, I'll do my best to catch up with you along the way with new experiences during this season, as well as what happened to me since the previous post since February.

In the meantime, take care everyone.
