Day One, All Bureaucracy - The Morning

Another auspicious beginning when the shuttle bus to the Pentagon never shows up for the first hour. Plus, my paperwork for the CAC ID card has been repeatedly screwed up - the latest has somebody else's name and SSN, so at least I can steal his ID if I get desperate. Miraculously, once we get through the Pentagon's public screening area, things move smoothly. My info is already in the system, and it takes 15 minutes to process the card. The holdup was the delay in capturing my fingerprints; they have to try 3 fingers on each hand before getting a clear print. This could be useful in the future if I decide to resort to cat burglary, since apparently I don't leave clear prints.
