Day 19

Day 13 of BCT

     This morning started out with PT as usual. They kept it light, as we have our first full PT test tomorrow. I'm nervous about the PT test. I know I still have time to meet the minimum standard, but I don't want to be so far from the minimum, that I feel I can't make it. Our DS said if we don't score a 40 in each event by the 2nd PT test in week 5, he'll get us sent home. I'm good to go on sit-ups, but I have a lot of work to do on the run and pushups.
     We then changed clothes, ate a Hot-A, cleaned our bay, and formed up for more time in the classroom. 1st and 2nd platoon went to the range today to begin grouping and zeroing their weapons. 3rd and 4th platoons were lucky, because we get an extra day to review the fundamentals and practice finding a steady position. So our morning was spent in the classroom reviewing. We marched to the DFAC for chow and returned fore more practice in the afternoon.
     Since there was only one DS with us (the rest were at the range), we got lots of random time to clean our bay while he took care of other things. We alternated between short review sessions and cleaning our bayes until dinner time. After returning from the DFAC, we had hoped to get personal time, since both of our DS's were gone. Instead, we were put in with 4th PLT. Their DS likes to use PT as correction more than ours, so due to their platoon's lack of integrity, we got a small smoke session. Nothing too bad. We had hoped to get mail, but no luck. We then had Hydration Formation and it was off to bed. Sleep is  defitnely  my favorite time of the day. For the most part, we are left alone from 9pm to 5am, but lights have to be off. We did get woke up one night, because some males had left their bay after being counted in. So we all had to toe the line and be recounted.
