I can’t seem to stay awake today. Sleep didn’t really happen again last night. Lights went out a little after 2100, but of course no one went to sleep. Just as everyone was finally starting to doze off; at 2141 the Drill Sergeant came in looking for a reason to smoke us. After digging around- he found it. One of the guys on fireguard duty had on the wrong color of socks. OH DAMN. We had to get out of bed; change out of out PT’s (shorts and shirt) and into out ACU’s (army fatigues); run outside and get into formation. After drills and threats on our lives; we had to run back upstairs and put on PT shorts, short, shoes, ACU, socks and top. Run back down stairs for more push-ups. Finally we wrapped up about 2240. I had fireguard duty at 0100. Grabbed about 2 hours of sleep. I woke up and waxed the bay floor, then snuck in about 30 minutes of shut eye before the 0300 wake-up.
By the way- I don’t know what the weather is back home but here it feels about 40º in the morning and I hate it. Shorts and outside at 0400 doing drills is not for this Texas
Today is out first morning to do PT (workout). It was just a warm-up and consisted of a series of ten different exercises. It felt good and will start adding more every morning. Our 1-1-1 is on Monday. 1 minute of push-ups, I minute of sit-ups, and a 1 mile test.
Today is a lot of class room time. Earlier a General talked with us. His main point was “ESTO VIR or Be a Man/ Do the right thing. Then the Chaplain talked life, suicide; this being such a tough moment in life. He said to “Embrace the Suck.” We are now in uncensored sexual harassment class. Funny but a serious topic in the Army.
Tomorrow we are going to Victory Tower
I’m done for now. I’m sure something else will spark before the night ends.
