Allright, well. Here's the deal. I graduated basic training as of around May 15th so now I'm in Texas. To be blunt, this is still a training environment, but it's more like college. We have a lot more freedom than we do in basic training, like getting our weekends off for example. We're still just in training, so if we do screw something up or get into trouble it can be bad on the arms and chest if you follow my meaning.
Anyhow, I'm here to learn my job that I picked for my time of service. I can't say much about what it is though, I would be violating my branch as well as my contract.
All I can really say is that I really haven't felt this physically fit before.
For our fitness test we have to do two minutes of sit-ups, two minutes of push-ups and run two miles. They have standards for each event and for Basic we had to do at least 50% in each trial, in this new place called AIT (Advanced Individual Training, yeah the Army likes acronyms), we have to do like 60% or 70%, I can't really remember. All I know is that I was performing well above the AIT standard while I was still in Basic, which was quite the delightful surprise.
I'm on casual status now...I have been for almost three weeks and I have yet to gain more civilian priviliges back yet. x_x I'm waiting for my classes to start too...which has been a real drag on my mind since all of my LBT goodness is on my new laptop, which is locked up in the Staff Duty office. x . x
Either way, I've been pretty content with myself as of late.
Oh yeah, I know this sounds weird, but if someone really wants to like talk on the phone or something and doesn't live out of Country from me, I'm willing to give up my cell number... I get bored on the weekends and I could use someone to talk to. >.> So yeah, I'll give you a note with that in it if you really feel up to just randomly talking with someone.
As for the rest of you who think that the idea is positively weird, I apologize for the confusion in your brain. I just work like that.
I ran three miles this morning with my entire battalion. 500+ people in formation...It was fun.
