A picture my wife took of our platoon forming up in the CTA on family day.
I'm the bald white guy behind our DS
I
finally have access to my computer for a few days, so I thought I would
give my wife a break and add some updates myself. Until she gets back
home and receives some of my previous posts there may be a few days
missing
Today
started off very early. Our cool DS woke up everyone at about 1:45 AM
and had us all stand in front of our bunks. I was a little disoriented
and thought is was actually time to get up. For some reason there was a
guy missing from his bunk. He decided in the middle of the night to get
up and move to the other end of the bay and sleep in an empty bed. Once
he was “found” we were allowed to go back to sleep.
We
had to wake up at 5:00 AM and got ready in our summer PTs. We did
family day rehearsal a couple more times, we were then told we look like
shit...then we were released until breakfast time at 7:30.
After
breakfast we got all dressed up in our class B uniforms. Then we all
waited about 30 to 45 minutes in the stairwell until we started the
ceremony. The ceremony went off without any issues, then out of the blue
I found out that all married couples had to go to a classroom together.
So much for getting out of this place ASAP.
We
sat through some information on insurance, legal stuff that the JAG
office can do for us, and some other information for the health and
welfare of families.
Once
class was over my wife and I took off and left Ft. Benning....Woohoo!
First stop...Mexican food for lunch. 2nd stop the hotel. After a while I
was laying down out of uniform relaxing...one might say I was close to
falling asleep. All of a sudden a loud high pitched screech assaulted
my ears. It was actually painful to hear. This hotel had a high tech
fire alarm that will not let you ignore it....it actually forces you out
of the building just by the extremely annoying sound.
I
grabbed my swim trunks and a t-shirt with some flip flops and headed
out of the room hoping that all my stuff wasn’t going to end up in
flames. Turns out that it was just some kid in the elevator that pushed
the fire alarm button.
Since I had the swimming trunks on we decided to take a dip in the hot tub...nice and relaxing.
We
then got ready and headed out to a Texas Roadhouse for some steak. Two
great meals along with a number of hot tamales and I was very satisfied.
We
headed back to the base with some extra time to spare. We hung out
until my platoon had to form up for accountability (we were all there)
As
we were heading up to our bay we could hear 3rd platoon did not have
everyone...then came the dreaded words from the DS “Half right
face....front leaning rest position...move” They had to do a number of
push-pus in front of their family because of late people.
We
were all laughing a little about that until we got to the bay. Our DS
found out PVT Ironic did not have his ACUs for graduation day tomorrow.
He packed everything up and put it in his parents car....so we all got
smoked for that LOL (he was able to call and have them brought back)
The
rest of the night was spent cleaning until late in the night. We had to
get everything ready for the next cycle. Now I must try and get a
little sleep before tomorrow....then I will never have to sleep in this
bay again!
