Hay

So this is the start of my 3rd week and things are goin pritty good so far. It is pritty hard.

I have 47 people in my platoon and we started with 52, 5 people have already quite. I geus they couldnt take it.

I got all my gear and my combats and equipment already but alas i dont get a gun untill week 5 (Sorry Jew i know you wanted to hear about the gun)

All the blisters on my feet have healed, kinda and my boots are just starting to get worked in. i have soo much shit here.

The yelling is fun, everyone gets yelled at constent but i got the atidude where it goes in one ear and out the other.

we havent had any real bad tests yet, all we have had are 1 swimming test that i passed and a fitness test that i also passed. We have room inspections 1 time every 4 days and i have passed them all. ( I still get my shit throun all over the room though) During one day the guy that sleeps in the room next to mine forgot to lock his locker and after the end of classes for the day, when he got back up to his room the Sargent had taken all the clothing and equipment out of his locker and made a dummy out of his combats by filling it with other cloths and put a gas mask as a face and a combat helmet as a hat on it and put it in his chair. It was realy funny shit. The bad part was that he hade to fold all his shit again. lol

I eat like a king here. its like a gient buffe evey meal and i get Sat and Sun off so I dont have any class or drill. yay.

I got the position of section leader of my platoon so i have like comanding athority above all the people in my platoon. The only down fall is that if the do shit wrong i get in more shit then they do because im there leader.

Its cool though, its pritty fun here, all the peple get along pritty well and we all help eachother out realy good.

I find that hardest part of this whole place is lack of sleep. i get a avrage of 3-4 hours sleep a day and its hell. Thats how they make it though.

My platoon is on the 9th floor so every day we have to walk up 18flits of stairs just to get up to our rooms. shitty.(i will have a ass of steel when i get home:wink:

ever tryed to hike up 18 flits of stairs with 150ls on your back with a Sargent and a Master Corpral yelling there ass's off as your doing it. fun fun.

I will try to keep in touch with ya and tell ya my progress on the board when i get the chance. I can only get on this thing if im lucky so when i do i will type.

anyhow i gg im running off of 2 hours sleep today and i gota get upstairs and work on my kit for monday.

have a good one all of ya.

Just remember to keep it really clean. M16's had a tendency to jam up when ya needed 'em most.

well got another week done and im doin great.

Had a 3k run this week and i did 3.5k in 20min and didnt stop. I was soo proud of myseft

went for 2 3km walks with all the gear and it was kinda relaxing compaird to the the usual stuff we gota do.

I had inspection on Friday and I got a good one for once, they didnt toss anything out of my locker and they didnt destroy my room.

ive lost 15lbs already and im feeling great, all the blisters on my feet have healed and i think the lether on my boots have streched enough so my feet dont even hert anymore durning drill.

im taking lots of pics out here so when i get home on the 17th i will want to see you guys and show ya all the pics.

I get my gun the week i get back

well thats the update for this week, not to much has changed, same old thing (wake up, run, get yelled at, march, get yelled at some more, march ,class, get yelled at, sleep) thats pritty much my day.

ive been keeping track of the pushups ive been doing and the grand total is now 350.
