Back At It

Well it's time to get back to work and get this done!

Saturday morning was fun, we did the downing mile. A mile long course (through the mud) with a bunch of obstacles on it. Everything from wire to crawl under (through the mud), to walls that we would climb over (and land in the mud on the other side). All this was done with the team while carrying 2x 5 gallon water containers, and 3 boxes of MRE's. I didn't think I would get clean after all that. I smelled the mud untill noon today (I think it got up my nose a bit).

I have heard we have it a bit easier this cycle in this particular company because we are part of a pilot program. They are giving us more freedom and responsiblity right off the bat. I guess they may have found out that some of the new lt's would get out and do crazy things because they were comming out of a strict but sheltered enviroment.

This next week is full of a lot of class work so as long as everyone stays awake we will be doing fine. We also have a diagnostic APFT at the end of the week, I will be curious to see if I have improved or gone down in fitness level.

I have also given up on the wireless I paid $50 a month for here and am back to using my phone to connect, the one here is having so many problems I will be asking for a refund.
