What you see here is everything I’m allowed to wear for the next 3 months. Everything.

It’s not a lot. 4 sets of uniforms, 6 sets of physical fitness uniforms, 2 sets of physical fitness long pants/jacket sets. Underclothing to go along. Maybe I won’t need that additional baggage allowance after all…

Today I also packed a box of stuff to ship ahead, things like extra toothpaste, a couple books, yarn, knitting needles, iPod speaker…things that I can live without for my first several days there.

Yep, my departure date is coming up soon…
