					1000 MDT 
					 
					The preparations have just about been 
					completed.   
					 
					The Inprocessing Planners "check of the Inprocessing route" 
					started this morning at 0900 at Doolittle Hall.  The 
					setup is done.  The signs, tables, chairs, tents, 
					computers, displays, and people are all ready. 
					
					At 1300, the Academy 
					Staff will come over and do their "walk-through".  Any 
					last changes that need to be made will be completed.  
					Once the walk-through is completed, we'll standby to begin 
					receiving the Basics on Thursday. 
					 
					As "WebGuy", I've decided to go around and snap pictures of 
					the outside and inside of Doolittle Hall while the area is 
					empty.  I'm doing this so you can see where it will all 
					begin, without all the crowds getting in the way.  
					While I'm outside, I'll try to shoot some wide shots as well 
					as close-ups so you can get a feel for the size of the area. 
					 
					 
					It will take a while to go snap the pictures, format them, 
					and get them loaded.  If you check back later today, 
					they should be up for you to see.   
					 
					
					WebGuy 
					Note: 
					Last year, I started "WebGuy Notes" as an informal avenue to 
					give families an "inside peek" into BCT.  The photos 
					are "quick snaps" and the commentary is written using 
					colloquial language.  The premise is that families 
					would rather have more information provided faster, instead 
					of waiting for intense editing. 
					 
					With that said, I apologize in advance for: 
					(1) inserting my New Jersey words/phrases; 
					(2) the "too dark" and "too light" pictures;  
     (I leave the good photo galleries to the photographers) 
					(3) the spelling/grammar errors.
