So we arrived at Reception Battalion last night around 9:30. The drill sgt's weren't as bad as I had anticipated and we were quickly split up into Alpha CO and Bravo CO. Alpha is half the size of Bravo because it is made solely up of military police. I have a feeling that they will be my company at Basic. I'm okay with that since we manage to stay out of trouble. Anyways last night we got yelled at and rushed around getting paperwork done and PT's. We didn't get into the Barracks until well past midnight!
Wake up was at four am and I only got three hours of sleep! We ate a four minute breakfast of eggs and turkey sausage. Then we rushed from station to station in a whirlwind of dental exams, uniforms, IDs and much more. I am so exhausted. This isn't very fun and I'm starting to resent it. I don't regret my choice by any means but this is pretty rough. Shoving meals down, rushing around, standing forever and completely exhausted. Welcome to the military Folks. Three girls have already tried quitting. But I bet it will get better. Once we get to start doing fun things like weapons and obstacle courses....ooh and PT! I hate not working out.
Needless to say today was pretty rough. Right now at 6:34 we have some downtime. I'm doing my best not to crash. We did get to go to the store today and I got a super cool watch, this letter stuff, and other things. Oh and they made me buy the $80 shoes. I was so pissed.
So please keep me in your prayers as I try to stay positive. I know by the time you get this it will be a couple days down the road, but I really do appreciate the support.
