The
weekends are always so nice, but they always end so quickly. I slept in
until 9:00 or a little after both days...nice! Saturday was laundry day
for me, then PFC Metal and his wife picked me up to watch Jackass 3D.
Not sure why they made the movie in 3D, it didn’t really add anything to
the experience. I’m thinking it is just a way to make more money from
everyone. The movie was what I expected...stupid funny pranks and some
very gross stuff added in. All in all it was a nice escape from the
base.
After
the movie me and the young Hawaiian went to the PX. I was starving by
this time because I hadn’t eaten anything except some very expensive
movie theatre popcorn all day. So we split a pizza and then I picked up
some of the basics I need (deodorant, body wash etc.) I also picked up
some gels for my boots so I would have a pair for each of my boots. My
old gels were getting pretty worn.
We
ended the night by watching UFC 120 in the day room. It was free on
Spike TV which turned out nice. The day room has a nice LCD TV and it
gets Spike in HD so the picture was awesome.
Sunday
was pretty laid back, I didn’t do much of anything all day. I tried to
log into some required training I’m supposed to do before I head over to
Korea, but I couldn’t get logged in. The highlight of the day was when
the young Hawaiin and I ordered Chinese food delivery for lunch. That
was some good stuff! Other than that we just had recall formation. I had
to shave my full on beard that I’ve been growing since Friday and we
had to wear our winter PT uniform to it. The winter PT uniform is very
nice in the morning when it’s cold, but in the evening when the sun has
been out all day long it is pretty warm.
Overheard Quote:
"I think they put something in the water...I didn't have a boner the
entire time I was in basic" (The young Hawaiian talking to me about the
days in basic. He went to Fort Benning as well and was in 3rd Platoon -
Terminators)
