Finally Home

After I signed off last night at the hotel computer, I went back to our room and watched the end of the Saint's/Eagle's game. I then watched an hour of "How it's made" on the Discovery Channel. I then went to bed around midnight and got up at 06:00 hours when the alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed while my father took a shower. After I was dressed I finished packing my suit case. We then went over and had our Delux Conteintinal breakfast. I had cereal and an english muffin. After we were done with breakfast, we went back to our room and got out stuff and headed out to the main desk. Once therem we checked out and loaded our bags in my father's truck and then headed towards the training center. We stopped at Sheetz and my father got gas for his truck and we then continued to the training center. We got there at the same time as Kevin did. We went inside and got setteled in the classroom. Once again a light breakfast was provided to us in the classroom. We then got started on class and went through 2 units. We then went upstairs and took a look at Adam Counties EOC room and how it is set up. After we were done in there, we went back down to the classroom to go over the exercise that we were going to do. The group we were in was to go to the EOC room first for the exercise. SO we gathered our things together and headed up stairs to the EOC room and to set up our command structure. I will tell you this, it was a very good learning experience. I got to see how the EOC works fully and got to interact with a wide variety of different people. We then took a break for lunch at 12:15 hours. Lunch was fried chicken and some type of potatoe's. After lunch we went back up to the EOC to finsh out the first half of the exercise until we had a shift change and we went back downstairs and we now became Incident Command and the other group became the EOC. After we were done, we all came back to the classroom and went over the exercise. We then went through 2 more units and then took a quick 15 question quiz and filled out and evaulation form. We then got our cert's, talked wit ha few people and then headed on home. We left down there around 16:00 hours and got home around 17:30 hours. While on the way home, Bubba called my cell phone and told me that I had missed a tractor fire this morning. Once at home we unloaded everything and took it inside. I then unpacked my suit case. After that I ran up to the fire house and copied down the info from the call for on the website. I then headed back home. Once at home I took a shower and then ate dinner while I read the papers. I am now soon going to crash in bed as I am tired.
