Indoctrination

Flat Stanley with BM2 Taylor and CE2 McPherson at NMPS (Navy Mobilization Processing Site).

Here is the room that Flat Stanley shares with AM1 Laird (Ty's Uncle).

Jet-lag + 5 hours of PowerPoint presentations = NAP

Flat Stanley needed to get into the uniform of the day to participate in the processing.  He did not have his uniform ready today and it ended in counseling.

Today was a lengthy day.  Flat Stanley reported to NMPS at 0530 (5:30 A.M.) for uniform fitting, Pre-Deployment Health Assessment, and vital sign monitoring to ensure that he was up to the challenge.  So far, so good.  He was given a break for breakfast and then reported back to NMPS where he attended training for the remainder of the day until 1700 (5:00 P.M.).  He was unaware that he was to report in the correct uniform for processing, so he had to get the correct uniform.  He is now A-J-Squared-Away, which is a Navy term for good-to-go.
