They had graduation today!! The guy second to the left was one of
my original roommates in Charlie company.
This
morning...you guessed it...no PT. Instead me PFC Metal and the young
Hawaiian had to go to the medical clinic to get some shots. Our status
turned amber on our AKO site showing that we needed some immunization
shots. I needed hepatitis A & B. When we arrived we had to sign up
on a sheet. A nurse called both me and PFC Metal up at the same time and
asked if we had our “packets” filled out. I looked at her with a
puzzled look and asked “what packets?”. She started pissing and moaning
about how we had to fill out a packet after we sign the sheet. I asked
her where I could find one of these packets and she said she was not
going to tell me. PFC Metal’s nurse was a little nicer, she brought him
out and showed him...then she made an announcement to the room that
anyone who didn’t fill out a packet needs to and showed them all where
they were. I swear civilians that work for the army are all rude jerks. I
have dealt with them since basic and there are so many a-holes out
there. PFC Metal grabbed me a “packet” which consisted of two sheets of
paper to fill out. I’m not sure how they expect people to just know
these things when they come in. After that announcement from PFC Metal’s
nurse all the folks in the waiting room came up and grabbed a packet to
fill out, so I know it wasn’t just us that didn’t know.
I
got the shot and then we took off to school. We were a little late, so
we had to check in with the office before heading to class. We had
another lab day today. This time we were much more successful setting
everything up. Since I arrived late I wasn’t assigned to a specific
area, instead I just walked around and helped everyone get everything
going. The lab is an interesting place. There are so many places that
are semi-dark and the instructor sits at a desk where he can’t really
see anyone. There were people asleep everywhere. The funniest was the
young Hawaiian who was asleep in a little cubby hole between the wall
and one of the work areas totally out of sight from everyone. In each
work area I think there was at least one person asleep as well. It was
still fun though getting everything up and running in a more realistic
environment. We hooked up three routers, 4 switches with two computers
connected to each switch. We also had to get a domain setup with
exchange server and a file/print server. Since we finished almost all of
it before lunch you could walk around and see a lot of solitaire and
pinball going on....lol
Tomorrow is review and then we test out on Friday, then I’m done with classes in AIT!! I can’t wait!!
