Shred XLIX: And then the North Koreans attacked

For example we had these two day week and then we went home for Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement blurgh). So the first day we really just did nothing the whole time. We just studied by ourselves for f**king 6 hours straight. It was so boring that the moment I had the opportunity to guard the area or whatever I just jumped on it. Anyhoo so y'know whatever wasting our lives and sh*t and so at night, they decide to make us run the 2K. Y'know, whatever, foods all up in your throat but you don't care cuz you're going home the day after. So after we're all disgusting and sweaty, they decide to make us put our uniforms on again, with full preparation or whatever (meaning we needed to fill up on our ammo, and f**king oil our weapons and such bizarre sh*t) and all in under 7 minutes. Obviously nobody was able to finish it all the way, so as punishment they made us take two stretchers which were filled up with sacks of sand. Now, because the Sergeant noticed that we had 32 separate f**k-ups with such things as missing ammo, un-oiled weapons and such sh*t, we needed to walk around the base with the stretchers for 32 minutes. Frankly we ran most of the time. 

Well it sucked horse sh*t didn't it? But the moment you're done with you're so elated and happy with yourself for finishing with that crap that it almost, ALMOST, makes it worth the crap you just went through. In many ways you do feel like you are getting stronger, mentally that is. But it's hard, it's very hard. The homesickness is always there, and frankly I miss my family lots when I'm there. Plus y'know, running around, doing pointless tasks, kitchen duties, it's all a part of a very annoying routine. But hell, the whole boot camp phase is over in a month! And after that things won't be as manically strict and useless. 

yeah it's probably the dumbest part about it. But oh well... you just have to ignore it really. My Sergeant's ok actually, it's my commander who is just horrible. 

And yeah I can't wait for the rest of my service it'll probably be mad interesting :D
