Day 8 of Basic
Sunday is our one day that is a little less stressful. We were able to sleep in until 6AM (of course, we always wake up 30-45 min earlier than wake up time), and we had no PT. We went to an early breakfast and then those who wanted to go to church went.
Considering this would be our only chance to organize our lockers, write letters, and relax, I decided not to go to church. We then had personal timme until 1300. The time was spent organizing my wall locker to their exact specifications (we'll be inspected as time goes by), catching up on my blog entries, and getting laundry ready to go to laundry service. We also had our bags packed for our field training exercise on Monday and Tuesday.
We had chow after the church attendies all returned, and spent the afternoon continuing to prepare for the field training exercise. Thee evening followed the same routine of chow, platoon time, hydration formation, and lights out.
Somehow our platoon females were singled out and accused of shaving our eyebrows. Turns out no one from our platoon was doing that, but they still took our razors away until white phase. So, I guess we'll all be a bit hairy! I guess to further prove their point, our platoon had to pull fireguard again, even though we had just done it the night before.
This marks the end of week 1. Hopefully our platoon will get better at paying attention to detail, and things will go smoother.
