Sandbags

This morning was another early Army morning as 1LT Robertson and I were assigned to the sandbag detail. Even though we do not belong to the 47th CSH's Alpha Co. our fellow RNs on the floor volunteered us for the detail. While the early rise was not pleasant we managed to make the detail sort of fun. There were soldiers also assigned that we would otherwise not have met. All in all, we did manage to have some fun.

The before shot with 1LT Robertson

Pulling weeds among the sandbags

Hauling the sandbags

Getting the sandbags to the roof

Sweeping the sandbags. Yup, he was sweeping them...

The after shot. Notice the dusty shorts.

Sheesh! My what clean sadbags you have (and the dirty clothes to prove it!). And the mask really matches your eyes. ;)

Thanks for the fun pictures, Beth! Glad to hear things are going well for ya.

Did you write anything with the different colored sand bags...like "Hi Dad" so that someday Google-earth will capture it and I will see it. - Dad

Have you had a chance to bond with Frederick over this? Now that's a man who knows something about sandbags!

This is probably what you get from complaining about being bored while at work. Glad you had a good time with it.

Any picture of the people you're normally working with?
