Tuesday...Classroom day

Tuesday we were in the classroom all day (so sorry...no nifty pictures).

First thing in the morning we went over the videos from our burns to comment on some stuff. No bad commenting, since they really were treating us like we knew what we were doing. They also showed us the video of the night they had the propane tank catch fire.

I think we also did some more Antarctica stuff, and then broke for lunch.

After lunch, we got to meet some firefighters from the Air National Guard 109th unit, from upstate New York. They're the guys who we'll be meeting down on the Ice anyway, although the firefighters don't get to go. They showed us some pictures and went through how to shut down the LC-130's and C-17's and such. We actually broke pretty early, and got some time off for the afternoon.

We ended up going back to Gateway to the same place we had gone my first night there. The ANG guys came with us, and we played in the arcade area while we waited for the rest of the group to arrive.

I did some more laundry Tuesday, and I think Tuesday was when we all got our camera memory cards to the appropriate people to get all the pictures together.
