First week is done, finally. They let us go at noon today for mothers day.

This is another bull crap annual training in my opinion. We are doing home-base inventory for ANOTHER change of command. Seems like every other drill there is a change of command, and it gets very old very fast! I have nothing against inventory. What makes it so irritating is the fact that literally half the stuff we have can't be inventoried without help from other people from maintainance who are coming tomorrow to help us with the mechanics tools and things (since our motorpool/mechanics all got moved). The only thing we have going for us is the fact that we seem to have accounted for almost every piece of stuff we have, which not a lot of other guard units can say, from what I hear.

Today and yesterday we did preventative maintainance checks and services on our vehicles (HMMWV's) and generators. Lots of things are wrong with the stuff, and none of it looks like it will ever get fixed because we have no people who have the authorization or training to properly diagnose and fix the problems.

I've got some pictures coming up here, and maybe if I'm lucky I can get a decent time-lapse video of a few hours of our working at the armory.
