Today
we had a pretty good work out. We ran for a while, then when we arrived
at a big hill we ended up running up and down it about four times and
then ran back. Class went all day long and then we had mandatory study
hall right after dinner, so we ended up being at school from 8:00 to
20:00. (Different classes require the mandatory 2 hour study hall. CCNA 1
& 2 both require it, so I'll be at the school for quite a while
every day) When we got back to the company area we heard that the new
colonel is going to be checking out our barracks. We all had to clean
when we got back from school. It's been a long busy day. I did get a few
minutes to video chat with my wife. She mailed me my new iPhone today.
I'm so looking forward to getting it. I'll be able to take pictures and
video and add it to the website. I'll also have music to listen to and
I'll be able to instant message friends and family, which is a nice way
to keep in touch since I don't have much time lately on the computer.
Funny
event happened today. PFC Metal and I were walking back from the chow
hall and I saw a captain coming towards us. I thought to myself oh
crap…I have to salute this guy. The entire time I've been in the army so
far I have never had to salute an officer. So when he was about 6 paces
away I said good afternoon sir and then saluted him. PFC Metal saluted
him too, but he did it with the wrong hand. The captain stopped and with
a confused look on his face he said "one of you just saluted me with
the wrong hand. PFC Metal said that he was the one, a mistake because
he's just out of basic. The captain then told me to square away my
battle buddy and then carried on. LOL
Overheard Quote: "Chuck
Norris doesn't mow his lawn, he dares it to grow" (I'm not sure if this
is the same private all the time or if there are a lot of fans of these
Chuck Norris sayings, but I hear them all the time while in
formation…hey we have to find something to do while we stand for a half
hour to an hour each time)
