It's been an interesting couple days. Yesterday we were practicing for our drill inspection that we had today. We spent a few hours marching in the pattern we will be marching in during graduation. During all the marching, I couldn't help but enjoy the cool breeze and the changing colors. It reminded me of camping and made me really wish I could have gone camping this summer. Fall is the perfect time to camp, and I would give anything to be at the camp sight in Northern Minnesota with a pop up camper, sitting next to a camp fire and eating a great hamburger, cooked on the grill over open flames. But no! I'm stuck here in prison. Maybe next year.
Yesterday we got our dog tags. It seems everyday now it becomes clearer that we are becoming sailors. I also found out that I'm O Negative blood type. I never knew that.
This morning we woke up at 5 am and went to chow quick. After chow, we had just enough time to practice our marching one more time. Then we headed in and got ready for our inspection. The inspector came and we marched across the base to the drill hall and did our drill routine. Our petty officers said we did really well, so they rewarded us with a phone call. Hopefully this time I'll make the trip so I can use the phone.
After drill inspections, we ate chow again then packed up for our 2nd test. I didn't really study for it and I passed. Not sure what I scored, but all I care about is that I passed.
Right after the test, we marched over to Freedom Hall (our athletic training facility) and did some PT (physical training). Then we came home and ate chow again. Now we are sitting and going over people's orders. I found out that my Corpsman school starts on Novemer 1st and hopefully ends February 29th. 4 MONTHS!!! Hope it's better than boot camp!
Alright, I'm tired of writing . Talk to you soon. Thanks again for the letters. R :)
