First Deployment!!

After completing both CTI and the 10 day training taught by FEMA, we have just gotten informed about where our teams are going for our very first deployment. Our team, whom are all IA/AS (Individual Assistance/Applicant Services) specialists are being deployed to Washington DC to work at FEMA Headquarters. Very excited! Should be a blast!

I'll post more about DC after we arrive there and I do plan on writing a post soon about the over all experience here in Anniston Alabama. Although I am still getting used to the heat and the humidity, Alabama really is a nice state and Fort McClellan really is a nice base. Sorry I haven't posted pictures, there are regulations on where pictures can be taken as well as just being busy with long days of training, 6 days a week for us for a span of 10 training days. Had Sunday off. Had a great time, great and filling food. And by far the best part where the trainers our team had. All very good and high quality trainers. The reservests we trained with were all great as well.

Keep an eye out for the upcoming posts. Leaving for DC on Thursday. Comment, send me your questions for Q & A in future posts. Questions help add to this blog. Subscribe via email if you would like to be notified by email when new blog posts are published to this blog. More posts to come for sure.
