Other than that, I got to go to a Bible study through the Navigators Ministry. It is full of young Naval officers. They were all so kind and the study was excellent. It was funny too since when I got there, I noticed that they were serving beer! Coming from a Baptist university in the South, it was different, but made the atmosphere very laid back. Too bad I don't like beer! ;-) Anyway, they said we get beer, burgers, and the Bible each week! The hosts are excellent people...kind of feels like I have another set of parents. They are very gracious and welcoming. That was the highlight of my week! God has been so good to me!
Also...yesterday evening, I had the chance to meet up with a friend from ODS. We got to share the frustrations and also the highlights from our start as new medical professionals. It was nice to see a familiar face and also explore the city a little! :-)
Lastly...I thought I would share this little story because I found it quite amusing. The Navy has some interesting terminology and one word in particular amused my ODS roommate and I very much. It is to deblouse. To deblouse means to remove your shirt. Anyway...I was in the occupational health office and this male corpsman is taking my vitals. He says..."please deblouse mam." I had the hardest time not bursting out laughing. I just had to take off my jacket for the BP cuff...but it just sounds so wrong! Anyway...it provided me a good source of amusement and I texted my roommate to share the story.
