Well.. here I sit in my barracks at North Fort Hood... It's what I've been doing most of the time that I have been here. We seriously have not done hardly any training. First Army, said that we did so well on our pre-mobilization training that they have nothing for us. I wish we could just leave! But we can't.... So I sit and watch movies, workout, and sweat. Texas is hot.
Our first day, we went through medical lanes where I got a small pox shot. I wish we wouldn't of had to get them. They're annoying to take care of. Everything else that day went well.. and since then yesterday was our first day of something to do (I believe because of Labor Day, and the post closed down Thursday at 3 pm). Yesterday we did an MRAP familiarization, which are the vehicles that we would travel in, if we were to go of the base in Afghanistan. And then in the afternoon we learned some Dari, which is the language spoken. All I can remember is, esteede sho, which means STOP. Yay! At least I know how to say that.
Tomorrow I have to go to the range to fire the 249, which is a light machine gun. I haven't shot one in 9 years, so it will be "sooo exciting". The last group that went to the range, they were out there from 6 am until 3 am! Crazy. I hope that doesn't happen to us, because I'm taking a class at 6 am on Saturday morning, I will get no sleep. I'm not 100% sure what else we have going on because it changes from day to day.
I do have an address for where I am in Texas, but I'm not handing it out. Sorry everyone! I will post my Afghanistan one when I get it. don't want to have to try and pack things to take over there from here!
Well... Tomorrow I have to be somewhere at 5 in the morning so I'm going to try and get some sleep. Hopefully I can post more often, I just learned how to use my phone to tether internet to my computer! Great success!
