Almost

I've been in the army for ALMOST 6 months now!
I can't say that I dislike this new life that I've created, or the lifestyle in which I live. It's structured, clean, healthy, pays well, and I have a future...in fact I might love it, HAHA I wouldn't say that just yet, but I am getting along quite well. I'm proud of myself, not toot my horn, but sometimes you have to. :)
I'm ALMOST done with training! I didn't ALMOST pass my PT test; in fact I DID!!!
Just 3 weeks left of school, and a week of out processing. Time has gone by so fast, it doesn't even seem like 14 weeks. I'm waiting on orders now that I passed my E.O.C (end of course PT test). 27 push ups (I stopped after 27 to save energy for my run) 60 sit ups in 2 minutes, which isn't the best I have ever done, but it's close. 17:52 2mile run! It's the best time I've EVER gotten on a run and I haven't ran in some time due to my ankle problems, WHICH is not any better since I ran on it. I have a million appointments to make before I leave but that's alright. :)

I've made the decision to do a road trip Columbus day weekend. I'm driving to good ole Lake County, of course not without stopping at the old college to visit the sorority and friends, I can't wait!!! I'm also trying to find out if I will be making it home for Florida/Georgia this year, keep your fingers crossed. :)
On to another week of training until next time:

The end of TRADOC

TRADOC - training doctrine, the army's way of torturing people. BUT 5 more weeks and it's over and I never have to do it again!!!! As long as they need radios and antennas I will have a career in the military :) 1 good thing.
5 weeks left. The includes 2 more classes at this school, then a week at what they call SIB, which is basically putting everything I have learned in the past 15 weeks together, then capstone, or "the FOB!" Which is going to be 5 days with no phone, no internet, no connection with the world, barely showers and a lot of dirt and sleepless nights! I'M SO READY FOR IT! We get issued M16's again, and we get to shoot them!!!! That's the part I am most looking forward to.
However, I am not ready to part ways with some of the people I have met here, especially the ladies I came from basic with....I have so much history with them and I could trust just about everyone of them with my life. The 3 males I have become so close to, especially lou-lou, I'm going to cry when I have to leave him. As times change so do people, so perhaps things will get better with the next place I go.
As to where I am getting stationed, I have no idea, it's all still up in the air, I'm still really hoping I get Ft. Carson, in Colorado!!!
My damaged ankle from basic training has been causing me a few problems, and due to walking funny on it, my foot is bothering me. I should be feeling better in no time, if I keep walking as little as possible and wrapping it every day. :)
I'm finally starting to pay off my student loans, and that is the worst feeling in the world, just being broke all the time....TERRIBLE! However it feels good to get rid of those, $60,000 in 2 years is absolutely outrageous, I'm so glad I have the army now. haha!
Anyhoo, it's bed time for me and probably for you, so good night to all and to all a good night!
