Coming into the home stretch

Well, another exciting week over with. In case you can't tell, there was a lot of sarcasm in that last statement. Yesterday was filled with bs time wasting jobs, and a lot of sitting around doing nothing. I guess that this is a new enough school for the Army that it's to be expected. Not a huge deal, it just seems that we could be either doing more training or they could just get us the hell out of here earlier, rather than making us sit around til the end of the business day.

That said, the training that we have done has been pretty cool. We did urban operations this week, which deals with clearing rooms and other, and yes you guessed it, urban operation types of missions. We used blanks and paintball type of rounds, which added a little bit of realism to the exercise.

One more week left until we start to out-process, so everyone is pretty excited. Not much more to tell, I'm sure I'll have some interesting stories to tell after this week. Stay tuned.
