Mom and Dad,
I've finally realized how close I am to being done! Less than a month left and we stop training on (around) the 13th. Our last APFT is on the 7th, we got our dress uniform today (well fitted for it), and we have 2 to 3 more training events. Only 2 out of 3 are grad requirements. Soooooo allllllmost there. Time Flies!
Yesterday, I shot a grenade launcher and a machine gun. Needless to say, I felt pretty freaking awesome. But it makes you realize how quickly 100 rounds goes on the SAW. Tomorrow and Saturday, we are qualifying with grenades. And I can't throw for crap so that should be interesting but fun.
We kicked up the PT and now I'm always sore. Yay. Hopefully it makes us hae higher PT scores. Our platoon is tied for first on highest overall average PT score. Our Drill Sgt. taught a lesson on physical activity and nutrition today and apparently we (as female soldiers) burn around 3,500 calories a day. Explains why I'm always so hungry. But I watch what I eat. I tried to cut out carbs for a few days AND that did NOT work out. Dead tired all day.
One of the female Drill Sgts told us toay that we're not allowed to wear make-up on grad Day. HA! She's funny. I'm wearing makeup. No arguments there.
I finally got mail from like the one person I wanted to hear from. It made me so happy. Your mail makes me smile too though. It really means a lot to me that you take the time to write me. I love getting your sticker covered letters.
lol, so even smaller world. The kid that goes to USU? Yeah so he was in that military science class that I dropped. And, he had a class with Mitch (so the class right before me with my favorite professor) So I saw him everyday. and Yes mom, the Ryan Shagaun is in 3rd Platoon in my Battery. SMALL WORLD! I miss y'all and will see you soon!
XOXO Chloe
