This
morning we did an ability group run for PT. This is the first time
since basic that we’ve done this. It is nice because it lets the fast
people go at their fast pace and the slow pokes like me still run and
get a work out, but we don’t slow down the fast folks and we don’t fall
out of the big group runs. I ran in C group (the slow pokes), but I’m
definitely not the slowest...that is for sure. We even had some guys fall
out of our group run. Our run had a little twist to it, about half way
through the run we pulled over to a field and did 42 push-ups and 50
sit-ups. After that “break” from running we turned around and ran back.
It was a pretty good workout for sure. I hear we are going to be
in for a lot more tough workouts because PVT Celtic’s dad was visiting
this last weekend. His dad is a Lt. Colonel and when he was talking to
sergeant Kent he mentioned that his son said the PT here is a joke
(which PVT Celtic denies saying). So I think we’re all going to be
screwed!
After
PT we got ready and had our nice slow breakfast. We were joined by a
captain and her husband (a major). Usually I would feel a bit
uncomfortable having officers sit next to us, but both of these officers
were chaplains. Chaplains are always very nice and personable when
talking to them.
We
headed out from breakfast to the IET center and shortly after we
arrived it started pouring down rain. Luckily there is a little covered
area at the entrance where we could wait until they opened. Once they
opened we all went in and assumed our nap positions. Gotta love nap
time!
After
lunch we headed to class. Today is test day for Windows Server 2008.
Once we got to class we had an hour to prepare for the test...everyone
just kind of sat around and chatted with each other. Once test time
started we had two hours to finish. The test consisted of 5 multiple
choice questions, then installing Windows 2008 Server and configuring
some features on it as well as setting up some user accounts and groups.
Pretty straight forward stuff. I finished first and headed over to the
student break area where we had to wait until everyone was done and the
instructor finished grading all the tests.
After
about an hour and a half we were told to head back to class where we
were shown our grade and signed the grade sheet. I scored 100%! Once
everyone signed we got another 20 minute break so the instructor could
take the grade sheets to the office. Once break was over we cleaned up
around the building and in the classroom.
After
dinner I went to Charlie company (which I usually avoid at all costs)
so I could turn in my leave request. For some crazy reason we have to
turn in our LES (Leave & Earnings Statement) and a Google Map
showing where we will be staying. This is something that totally baffles
me, but I had my wife mail me everything I needed since getting a
printer here is a bit of a pain in the butt. So it’s all turned in and
I’m ready to get outta this place and spend some quality time with my
wife on Labor Day weekend. I can’t wait!!
Rest
of the day consisted of marching back to RBK and taking a much needed
shower. You can sweat here doing nothing but standing in formation.
