That's right folks, Columbia.  My summer training as a 68W (aka 'Health Care Specialist' aka 'Combat Medic') with the 328th CSH (Ft. Douglas, SLC UT) will be spent aboard the USNS Comfort.  I honestly can't tell you much about this mission because I have not been given details.  What I do know is to expect working jointly with Navy, Air Force, and Marines to administar aid to those under our care.  I have also been told to prepare for 12hr on/12hr off days the whole time I'm there.  There isn't a lot to do on the ship and we are unsure if we will be allowed off of it.  I plan to spend most of my time in the gym, stretching more than lifting weights in preparation of possibly getting back into something that I loved doing as a kid.  I won't tell you right now what that activity is, but I'll give you hint by dropping a last name for those in the know> 'Tobin'.
