YES, DRILL SERGEANT!!!

31.Jan.2006

Lots and lots of yelling and push ups (front leaning rest position) and that about raps up the first day. All seven hours of it. We didn’t get there until about 3 in the afternoon. Everything has been a blur since.

That night we were issued bunks and unfortunately I ended up on the top bunk. These things sit 7 feet high. They don’t make them easy to climb up into and I’m constantly paranoid of falling off that tiny twin!

That’s not even the worst part. My head is about 4 feet from the ceiling which has the PA speaker right above it. This thing goes off every hour for heads and weapons counts and the voice on the other side is not very soft.

But if this is the worst I have to deal with then I’m not too concerned. I’m actually more irritated by the seemingly lax discipline of the Drill Sergeants. It seems too easy!
