These
entries are from the letters that Brandon has mailed to me. His writing
at times can be a bit difficult to determine his words... bare with me,
I do my best, especially with army terms.
Today
we were able to “sleep in” until 5:45am. I also had no guard duty so
the uninterrupted sleep was just awesome. I slept like a rock the entire
night.
After
breakfast we cleaned up the CTA. PFC Metal and I cleaned up the “day
room” (aka the DS lounge). I really had to go pee, so as I was cleaning
their bathroom, I let loose and used their urinals. I like living on the
edge. LOL.
Went
to church again and was a little overwhelmed with emotions as we were
singing. I felt the tears roll down my face. Crap! Had to hurry up and
wipe them off before shaking everyone’s hand.
Didn’t
do much except hang out in the bay until 3:00pm. Our DS came in,
brought out 3 machine guns and said clean them, then he left. We have
one of the 240s that we’ve been cleaning for 2 days. After we came back
from dinner we heard the supply sergeant came in and inspected it. He
said it was still dirty. I don’t think there is any way we can get
these clean enough for his standard. We cleaned the shit out of it.
We
found out that for some reason we only get 5 minutes on the phone
today. It was awesome to talk to my wife, but 5 minutes really sucked.
The DS on duty for the company doesn’t want to be here and I think he
was taking it out on everyone. He’s with another platoon and he’s just a
freakin' ass all the time. What a great reward for making it to blue
phase! (sarcasm). I’m really pissed right now. This is something
everyone looks forward to all week. Grrr.
