This
morning I think our PT sergeant was having a bad day. He is a delta
company sergeant (we rotate out sergeants here at RBK) and he just
seemed pissed from the start. He called out the exercises pretty fast,
having us switch from one to another over and over. He wanted to go for a
run, but the other sergeants I don’t think wanted to run because they
went up to him and had a little conversation and ended up leaving. Without
the extra sergeants he couldn't take us for a run, so he had us sprint back
and forth on the field we were working out on. This is the first PT
session where we had people actually fall out. We had three guys
throwing up and one had to be helped back into the barracks. Pretty
crazy start to the day.
The
rest of the morning was perfect. PFC Metal, the young Hawaiian and I
all did our duties in our room and then went to the RFAC pretty late. We
took our time eating while the buses pulled away. After a while I
looked up and noticed that there seemed to be only officers and NCOs
around, so I suggested we make our way outta there. We walked to the IET
center and took our morning naps. All three of us passed out. This is
the perfect way to start the school day nice and refreshed.
Lunch...then school was next. This is our last day of Windows 2008 server. We
will test out of it on Monday. There were a number of people that just
couldn’t stay awake in class, I guess they didn’t get their morning
nap..LOL
My
wife had her last day at her job today. Seems strange being the sole
provider now. She is going to get the house ready for renters since we
were unable to sell in this crappy housing market. The last thing I
wanted to be is a landlord. Uggggghh. We are going to have a local
property management take over everything because we have no idea where
we will be. That is one thing that has been on our minds for a while
now. Where will I get stationed. I filled out the “dream sheet” or “wish
list” as some call it. It is all done online now via your AKO account. I
have no idea how much they even look at the places, but I hope I get
someplace at least decent. I chose Ft. Lewis in Washington State because
that would be the easiest transition for me and my family. The base is
actually only about a half hour from most of my family and my wife’s
family. I also chose a base in California and one in Texas. I figured if
possible I’d like to be on the west coast. For my oversea assignments I
chose Germany, Hawaii and then Korea. I really have no desire to go to
Japan or Alaska. Korea just seemed better than either of those. My wife
asks me every day if I have found out yet where we are going. I check
every day and have to tell her “no baby...not yet”. From what I’ve heard
from others I may find out in the next week or two...or three. I guess
we’ll see.
For
now we are putting everything we haven’t sold into storage. My wife is
going to stay with family until we get shipped to wherever this
adventure takes us.
Overheard Quote: “Get
off your knees, this isn’t the navy” (The PT sergeant after a few
people dropped to their knees doing push-ups during PT this morning)
People fall asleep in class all the time. Some teachers let it go and others make you do push-ups.
I say let 'em sleep and it's on them to pass the class. I've been there...sometimes you just cannot keep
your eyes open!
