    Quick entry:   Studying like crazy for our 1st CWT (Consolidated Written Test).  I was selected for Squadron Commander while the Upper-class was out at VW.  That was fun, had some meetings, blah blah.  We have to pick jobs and my LFC has instructed me that he thinks that I need to be Wing Commander (The highest position out of all of them, the entire class) or Ops Group Commander (reports only to the Wing Commander), so therefore we are talking lots of extra work, and lots of responsibility, should be interesting to see if I actually get either one and how I do in that type of position.  Other than that, a quick note, we got to go to the Shopette by ourselves yesterday, it was awesome to get away for a little bit even if it is only about 1000 yards away.  We got chips, candy and sodas, and sat outside and just chatted, its amazing how little things seem so cool to me whereas only 3 short weeks ago, that was the norm.  This place does change some things about you, not really personality, but maybe perspectives on some things.  Class is going well, I scored a 293 on my 1st PFT, I did 66 sit-ups, 47 pushups (had 15 taken away from my 62, for not going down enough) and then ran 2 miles in 15:01.  I need to get to 88 sit-ups, 76 pushups, and run 2 miles in 13:45 to get a 500 on my pft (it will be hard with al the other stuff to train properly but that is my goal, we will see if I get it).  Keeping my room clean.  Ironing, polishing, scrubbing, etc etc.  I got put in charge of doing the skit for our squadron, so now I have to go be funny, sheesh.  I like my flight-mates and am enjoying getting to know them. Little frustrations along the way but nothing major.  My roommate is a really good guy. I am glad to have him.  More to come………..
