(The lighting is mostly red in the lab to make it more "real" I guess)
The
hall guard woke me up early today at 4:15 and said to get dressed in
ACUs and see the sergeant. I asked him "what for" and he said he didn’t
know. So I got up and got ready, but one thing that I’ve learned not to
do when I’m forced out of bed early is not to go pee. There were about
10 of us at RBK that had to get up early. We were told to get in the
duty van and it took us to Charlie company where we were told we had to
do a pee test. This time I was ready to go and stepped up near the front
of the line. I went and got it over with quick...no more waiting and
drinking water and waiting and drinking more water.
There
was a chick there who was obviously on some sort of medication. She
ended up falling off the chair and just stayed passed out on the floor!
She was totally out of it. I’m not sure how they planned on getting her
to pee in a cup.
I
then met up with PFC Metal and the young Hawaiian to go to the medical
clinic. PFC Metal had to setup another appointment for his ears and the
young Hawaiian and I had to get our smallpox shot checked out. The
doctor took a look at it and said yep, it looks normal (it looks like a
huge puss filled zit on my shoulder). I mentioned how sick I’ve become
since getting the shot and he said it’s normal...great. If I don’t get
any better by Friday I may head in there and get checked out again.
Today
in our M3 class we went to the lab. We worked in teams to setup and
connect a network and computers together. It was basically what we’ve
been setting up in the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator, but with real
equipment. We even had to take shifts guarding the door to the classroom
with a rifle. Anyone that wanted to come in had to show their ID.
The
exercise took the entire day and we still didn’t quite finish. We made
some good progress, but not all of the teams were able to get everything
completed.
It’s
Tuesday and like every other Tuesday we have mandatory training. This
time it was MAC (Modern Army Combatives). Me and everyone else who just
got the smallpox shot were unable to participate, so we just hung out in
the Charlie day room watching TV until the training was finished. When
PFC Metal came back he said it was pretty stupid training and we took
off to RBK to call it a night.
