Well, today I received my first official "additional duty" as a WOJ. I am in charge of the Bravo Company fridge. This sounds trivial but is not. It is the most visible duty in the company. The pilots and crew take a well stocked fridge very seriously. If something is not there, it comes down on the fridge guy.

Our fridge has been run extremely well in the past few months so I have big shoes to fill. In fact, other companies shop at our fridge. We actually make money selling snacks and drinks out of the fridge. The turnover is so high that I am going to wind up shopping several times a week to keep it properly stocked. If I do well, I will get the respect of the entire Battalion. If I do badly . . .

I am looking forward to the next WOJ arriving sometime in June so I can pass this job on to him. Perhaps I will be flying by that time.

Other that the new job things are about the same. I am getting to know my co-workers and think we will get along fine. In fact, I am going to a promotion party tonight for three of them who just went from WO1 to CW2, leaving me as the only WO1 right now.
