(Christ's Mini disk comp)


Commadants inspection...finished waxing the barraks, we got the classroom stripped -- super claened the latrine, etc. etc. - all last night.  Fixed up wall lockers, etc.  Had to strip the classroom *again*...Fuck it...all my pens suck--pencil now...

So got in Class A's and anotehr SGL (Small Group Leader -- the instructors here)  came in to inspect everything.  We had the best barraks.  SO happy we "won" --foreign general is coming in while we're in the field & so they're showing him *our* areas -- the squared away always get screwed into more work...such is life...*sigh*

I miss Christa...I really cherish this little gift she gave me -- speaking into a microphone from so far away so long ago -- just a little under a year now since I saw her in Orlando...

PLDC has really started (ok well it started a long time ago) to wear on me.  I just want this all to be over.
No more anal time schedules, no more stripping, going w/o showeres, eating crap food, hopsital corner bunks, wakeup at 0515 everyday (or earlier) -- even saturday and sunday - and I've already mentioned bunks to my left, right, etc...the SGL fronting on us - acting mad & threatening us about nothing--any excuse to yell...about nothing that really matters usually.  Now, not to sound wrong here -- I have gotten good things from this class, hands on practical experiences as well as classroom learning.  The people here are all easy to work with & it's a good condusive training environment...it's just so all...I don't know, encroaching?, restrictive I guess is the best description.

We had our platoon pictures taken today, in our Class A's.  Don't know yet if I'll buy one or not.  Leanign towards no but I'll hafta see.  If it's cheap...

I've pretty much fallen in w/ the infantrymen here -- I just seem to get along best with them -- go figure.
