I'll make this quick!

So I started work yesterday and I have to say the things I am working on now are EXACTLY what I envisioned wanting to do when I came back. I didn't really know what I would be asked to do in my position, but I am working with our state coordinator for soldiers who get injured or ill, and either have to come home and get treated or stay as medical holdovers to go though recovery. We are tracking them and their progress, and are trying to start a reintegration program for those who come back injured. It is a bit different than the regular reintegration process I am goign through in the fact that they might have different needs or circumstances regarding their experience and the fact of the matter is taking care of people to me, and in the military they say Take Care Of The Soldier! Well, I look at it as Take Care Of People! That is why I am glad I can do this!
Either way the first 2 days have been off and running, and busy! I like it and feel I am bringing a different viewpoint of deployment to the table for the Medical Readiness team in the MNARNG! I hope so anyways.
So I am being on the cheap and we still are with only 1 vehicle, and I am seeing if that will work, as I do have a bus route that leaves from here to St. Paul in the morning, and being that monthly parking at the Capitol can be $50, I am gonna pay either way right? So why buy another vehicle? We'll see how far this goes!
I have the ball tommorrow night and I will take pictures of the lovely Missy and myself. I have my uniform together and it should be fun. We are staying an extra night at the hotel to get a little alone time so we'll see how much we come up for air.
Thanks so much everyone for their well wishes for my job, and even though I said to wish me luck most of you would have done it anyways!
Later,
Erik
