Today was our clothing distribution day. If weather cooperates, we fly to McMurdo tomorrow. The drill was very similar to last year , though this year there were a lot more people, and now that I'm a "veteran", I didn't have to watch the info video. They were out of some of my sizes, so I ended up with mittens two sizes to large, gloves one size too big, and a different pair of glove in just the right size. Last year, I tried a bunch of combinations once I got there and ended up with something I didn't expect, I'm sure I will figure it out once I get there. The women's room was packed: it was nice to see that so many women are participating and in many cases leading in the antarctic program. One major difference from last year: I have carharts pants which are more like construction working pants instead of the ski bibs. I did like the ski bibs last year, I will give the carharts this year.
Tomorrow, we are supposed to check in at oh-seven-hundred hours.
