Medical day, a little nerve racking, tell them about my medical history, and possibly could get disqualified if I have trouble with the EKG. EKG was perfect, and one of the guys, Jason, who was a little concerned about his bmi-body mass index-also flew right through the physical, unlike myself, he didn't even have to talk to the doctor.

Big cattle call scene, the staff there did a pretty good job of getting everyone through the process, blood draw, physical-drug test, chest x-ray, ekg, vision testing, ear, nose and throat exam, inoculations-4 of them, got to skip the 5th as I'd had the tetanus 2 years ago.

The last part of the day, work on the computers-anti-terrorist training and something called ISOPREP, they want you to come up with unique identifying information-proof of life-in case of a kidnapping/hostage situation.

I got lucky, finished up with everything around 4pm and my buddy Jason was just finishing up before dinner at 7! Pretty much over the hump now, just have to sign the contract tomorrow night and take a few more training classes tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.
