10/19/2014 "Sunday Peace"


“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

“HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR DIVINE BATTLE BUDDY”

Today was Sunday recover day. There are different religious services going on all day, so they can’t really do much with us since the whole group is not together. I was going with the Protestant service again. We were suppose to meet at the bus stop at 0900. Wake up was at 0500supposivly but everyone swore they could be ready in 30 minutes so we got up at 0530 for 0600 formation. I slept amazing and woke up at 0500 to start getting ready. At 0530 I kicked the lights on. I made rounds at 0545 and almost no one was up….Geez. Senior Drill Sear gent came in screaming we were late for formation. “Smoke” push-ups to start relaxation day. 60 of us went down for the buses to pick us up for church, we waited and waited. 0930 and still no bus. A second service started at 1030 so we started the two mile hike to the chapel. We showed up while the first service started the sermon so a few of us snuck in to listen. The preacher was black and he was fired up. The keyboard played along with him the whole time. When that ended we stayed for the second service, the preacher knew some of us made the first service so he went off the script and had an impromptu service. I was not disappointed. He was singing and dancing and had everyone getting into it. One of the groups graduates this Thursday so it got pretty emotional.

The rest of the day was cleaning and studying. The DS pretty much left us alone except for chow. The end of the night we had cleaning duty for our outside pavilion and hallways. Poor guys that had outside missed giant garbage bag and the Sarge threw trash all over the place and threw cans down the hill. Sucks for them.

Tomorrow is 1-1-1 PT Test that starts at 0500. Just an assessment but it will set a good starting point. My shins are killing me from all the hikes and breaking the new combat boots in, so hopefully I can run.

We also have the obstacle course. We will run through it once as a company and then have a race among platoons. Each of the 4 platoons have to choose 5 guys out of 56 per group to compete. I was elected in our platoon to compete and am looking forward to tomorrow.

Night all.
