121/30/2014 "Final Test Pre-pack/Sunday Funday"


Fav Song today:

“Like a Lion”

 “My God’s Not Dead,

He’s Surely Alive

He’s living on the inside

Roaring like a lion”

 

Other Songs:

“Our God is greater

Mighty to Save”

 

Sunday relaxation day. Chow was great. Service was packed at church. Half the guys are from Alpha and Bravo companies and graduate on Thursday so they were into worship today. It was a gorgeous day today. We did normal cleaning but today was all about preparation. Tomorrow we leave for FTX3. This will be 5 days and 4 nights of being out in the field. Field exercises/ battle drills during the day and sleep/ security at night. During the night the DS and other platoons will make raids on every platoon to ensure they are actually pulling security. Not taking a shower for 5 days will suck and stinking highly. Our rucksack we are packing and taking weigh around 65 lbs. on the last “Friday” we will pack up and hike out at 1600 for our 12ish mile final hike back. Last big test.

Today a few of us were able to go to the gym near us that is used by the athletic trainers during the week. Not allowed to use dumbbells but it felt great to get a sort of weight workout in. I miss the gym for real…and music.

This will be my last chance to mail out until next week so expect all my field experiences to come as one. Excited and ready to get Basic over with.

Love yall.
