Sermon speaking points
**Realize situations happen
**Reactions arise
**Hope floats
Today turned out to be almost a full day of relaxation. Buses didn’t pick us up again for the 0930 Protestant services, so the Sergeant in charge made sure transport picked us up to make the 1045 General Christian service. It turned out good. There is a stained glass mural above the podium of a solider down on one knee, weapon in hand, praying. That gets me every time.
Same as last week; we got back too late for lunch chow, so MRE’s it was. No candy for me, but I did get a chocolate chip pop tart and dreamcicle cookies. Most of the day was spent doing a lot of cleaning. My groin muscles are super tight and we have the 2-2-2 test first thing in the morning, tomorrow. I will start extra endurance before bed to keep building on the push-ups/ sit-ups. They told us either this coming week or start of next week we will begin shooting our weapons. We got some really good news today. The brigade passed down a new rule for phases. We will hit white phase in about two more weeks. Use to that meant phone privileges for about 15-20 minutes every Sunday. The new rule states that as long as we reach the phase and behave; we will get the phone for one hour every Sunday. That’s pretty sweet.
I have fireguard first shift, then hopefully can nab 5 hours of sleep for 0300 wake up.
Hope everyone had an amazing weekend.
