Have any of you ever gotten the urge to wake up at 3:30am, put on some ill-fitting gym clothes, stand in the middle of a rocky field with 350 of your closest friends, and perform oddly-gymnastic-like exercises for 90 minutes? Me neither...but the Army seems to think this is a GREAT idea! In all honesty, it wasn't that bad. In fact, the morning session was somewhat enjoyable (except for the fact that I rolled my right ankle over a Texas-sized rock while hustling into formation...that felt AWESOME!). The rest of the day was filled with additional briefings and final administrative tasks; nothing exciting but nothing strenuous.
I'm making some exceptional friends down here, one of whom I feel I will owe my graduation to. He and I began additional physical training together, and spent another hour in the gym in the evening after class. Plus, every time we have a break inbetween classes, we challenge eachother to do pushups and situps on the classroom floor...quite a sight, I must say. Speaking of which, I'm off to meet him right now for our morning session. I hope everyone back home is doing well, and I look forward to writing more later. Keep those messages coming, as well...love to hear from you.
Peace.
UMMMAMATT!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you're making friends, but don't get too close. Being an only child, Scottie doesn't know how to share. We miss you; keep focused and know that you're in our thoughts.
Peace, big bro ;)
