CH BOLC Day #1
Well the
day started off very early this morning. Holy Cow five AM came and I think that
my eyes were still closed till I started shaving. My cut up face can definitely
attest to that. The morning started off with a formation to only find out that
some of were released to go back to our rooms. The motto for today has truly
been hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait, and finally hurry up and wait. From
eating as fast as possible to being everywhere at least twenty minutes early it
has definitely been a readjustment back to my former Norwich Corps of Cadets
days. I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! I originally thought that I was going
to have to motivate myself to re-embrace “The Suck” aka the undesirable parts
of Army life. But it has been as if I haven’t been with a great friend in
years. It has put a smile on my face. No matter what they throw at me I still
think that there are going to be parts
where I have to keep my attitude in check and keep my spirits up, but for the
most part it has been outstanding.
The food
here is great. I have enjoyed it tremendously. I don’t know if that is because
I am eating as fast as I possibly can and am not tasting it but for the most
part it has been good. Cant complain about the food when your not cooking it. J Even though ive been
eating breakfast (which I normally don’t eat) lunch and dinner I still get
hungry around 9 PM from burning so many calories. In the two days I have been
here I have drank nothing but water and Gatorade with the exception of ONE can
of Mountain Dew!!! Im surprised I haven’t broken out in shock, rashes, hives,
or had the shakes. So we will see how that affects my system. The weather here was
sunny today, not as hot but was definitely warm.
Had
some platoon assignments to complete tonight and some minor studying. Now going
to grab a shower and then hopefully catch some sleep here soon. Missing every
one back home. Definitely missing Chelsea as well as my family. Chelsea has
been very supportive and understanding for her first experience of me being
away with the military. She is a beast. A beauty but at the same time a beast
in the idea that she has been very strong. I am very thankful for her and her
family praying as well as my family praying and all of our friends. Hope you
are all doing well. Sorry there will be a lack of pictures. We are not allowed
to take pictures and post them.
