Day 1 + 2 = (Tues/Wed)
We didn’t sleep at all last night.  I haven’t slept for over 36 hours.  Last night they issued us 3 PT shirts and 3 PT shorts as well as a beanie, gloves, a laundry bag, and [...]

*Sigh*

And Shepherds we shall be For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili

Some Military Humor…

Dear Ma and Pa,
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. [...]

Emotions

It’s an unusual concoction of emotions I’m feeling today, on the eve of the day I go to MEPS.  48 hours from now I’ll be sitting in MEPS, already having sworn in.  I keep thinking I should be dreading my departure, but I feel oddly eager to get there.  On a basic and immediate level [...]

3 days?

Yea, a break down is a very good possibility.   Yikes.  Three days!  Levi is coming over tonight after he goes bowling.  Maybe I can talk him into taking me midnight bowling tonight since he never showed to take me last week.  I had wanted to spend tonight sitting home on the couch cuddling watching movies, [...]

4 Days

Crap, I think I’m going to have a damn nervous breakdown.  Four days and counting, and I haven’t even gotten to see Levi since the football game.  I’m SO not packed.  My room is a mess.  I have to take a damn PT test tomorrow, and another one Monday with Ssg Horn.  Definitely not looking [...]

5 days and counting

Five days and counting.  Wow!  I can’t believe it’s that close.  I’m scared.  I pretty much suck at life when it comes to PT.  Running, Push-ups, Sit-ups.  I suck at it all.  I’ll probably do better on the run than I do the other two, but I might not do well there either.  I’m definitely [...]

PT

Ugh.  PT is going to be the death of me.  I somehow have no motivation.  Ssg Horn is coming here Friday to do a test PT test, and we’re doing a real one Monday.  I’m not going to pass, he doesn’t believe me.  He says he’s really out of shape and he has a PT [...]
