This
morning we had formation at 4:45, but we had to be in ACUs and have our
IDs with us. We were not told why, but there was no PT. We then got in
alphabetical order and marched to a building about 50 meters away. When
we got there we filed in and went to a table where we verified our name
and social security number on a sheet of paper, then initialed it. When
we were done we went back to our barracks. Not sure what it was for or
anything...and of course we were not told.
We
were in the room for about 15 minutes and then everyone was called out
to yet another formation. I guess the sergeants didn't like us doing
nothing in our rooms. So instead we stood in formation for a half hour
until we were finally released for breakfast. Sergeant Cujo had to give
some threats and crap about us marching and sounding off. (yesterday he
didn't like the way we were sounding off, so he said we were not allowed
to sound off at all yesterday….oh darn)
Since
mandatory study hall started, our personal time has been cut very
short. With the other duties and cleaning that we have to do, we hardly
have any time left in the day. I spend a lot less time chatting with my
wife and kids. I also have no time for homework, so I have to make sure
to get it all completed during the study hall. I have to admit though
that going to the study hall sure helps with all the interruptions and
duties that we end up doing while in barracks. It does what it is meant
to do and gives us time to get our homework done.
There
has been a lot of new restrictions placed and enforced. Almost daily
we'll here of new things that we have to do, or of some policies that
were not enforced before that will be enforced now. It seems like there
is so many things to remember. Last night PFC Metal went down to get his
laundry downstairs (because all of the washers on our floor are broken)
after 2100 and a sergeant saw him and made him clean the laundry room
because he was downstairs after 2100. We've never heard of such a thing,
but they mentioned it today as an existing policy that is now being
enforced. The other new one mentioned today is that we also have to make
sure to turn in weekend pass requests a week early. I guess people have
been turning them in a day before and such.
Class
was interesting today, we were singing the Signal Corps March again and
sounding horrible as usual. A sergeant was walking by and came in
pissed off because we sounded so bad. He made everyone get down in the
"front leaning rest" (the push-up position) and start doing push-ups.
This included the MOS-T sergeants that are in our class. Needless to say
we have had to practice a number of times throughout the day. LOL
Overheard Quote: "Someone
has colon cancer!" (a random sergeant after coming out of the bathroom
at school complaining about how bad it smelled in there)
