I've heard from Will and things are getting up and running in his new job. Right now he's still getting acclimated to all of these changes.
He's been super busy and worn out. It sounded like his days have been a blur between WORK, meals, and sleep with work taking up a good 12 or more hours a day - 7 days a week. He hasn't had much of a chance to do anything other than those three things.
Evidently a common thing is getting sick when you first arrive. Your body needs to adjust to the foreign country just as if you were traveling. Different things in the food or water than what you are used to. At the moment, it sounds like that is his hurdle he's facing.
MotoMails have been arriving to him at the address, so I'm glad that system is up and working. He says they arrive sorta like bills. You rip off the three sides, and get the letter/email printed for you inside.
He also passed along this URL:

Hope this finds you feeling better today, Will. I'm sure the Marines don't give sick days easily! Sounds like there's so much to learn all new when you move across the world and start a new job. I'm sure you'll learn to do it more efficiently as you get into it longer. Hope someday there will be time for a little life besides working, eating and sleeping! Like working out or seeing a movie or reading a book. Keep up the good work. We're flying our flag at our house for you every day. Carolyn's Mom
