The
morning formation was a bit longer than usual. I guess the Lt. Colonel
and the Command Sergeant Major are coming to visit at some point today,
so the sergeant said we had to make sure everything was cleaned well.
Each squad in our formation took on a part of the building to clean. It
didn't take too long because everything is pretty much maintained as we
go.
It's
Saturday…laundry day. I did my laundry which by this time of the week I
have a full laundry bag and I take up two machines. It's so nice to be
able to do laundry whenever I want. I take this time to also do my
homework. Our teacher keeps us pretty busy with stuff to do.
Walked
over to the Charlie DFAC with the young hawaiian and we found out that
there were no mass phase backs like last weekend. That is good news.
There were a number of nervous people in Charlie yesterday.
After
lunch I was able to video chat with my wife and kids. That is always
nice, but I sure wish we had faster internet here. It would make the
whole experience a little better. The internet here is only decent on
the best of days and slower than dial-up on the worst of days.
PFC
Metal and his wife invited me to go off base with them for dinner. We
ate at PF Changs (an awesome Chinese restaurant). It is nice to get off
base and really nice to eat some good food. Don't get me wrong…I
actually like the DFAC food here. The food is not bad for cafeteria
food, but when you go out to a real restaurant and eat, there is a huge
difference in quality. It was freakin' awesome.
We
were entertained on the drive back to the base with a thunder and
lightning storm. It seemed like the Georgia sky had strobe lights
on…pretty crazy!
