Day 27

Day 22 of BCT

     Sundays are at least a bit of a break from the stress of training. We didn't have to wake up until 0545 and formation was at 0600. I had Fireguard last night from 0200-0300, which was not much fun, but at least we got to sleep in a bit. We marched to chow and then those going to church headed out. I found staying in the bay is less stressful than going to church and it gives me time to get caught up on things and put my feet and knees up. I plan to read some of the messages my Life Group sent me today as well. I even snuck a little nap in before a DS walked into the bay. I didn't get caught, but it would have been nice to sleep longer, even if it was on the floor. I wrote a bunch of letters before we formed up for chow. After chow at the DFAC we moved to a different DFAC that is our storm shelter since we live in trailers. If there is a tornado or hurricane, that is where we'll go. We went there so we know where it is. After marching back to the company area, we had some platoon time and discussed our upcoming rifle qualifications coming up next week. We were then going to be sent to our bays to scrub floors again, but first we had to wait until every male locker was searched for a missing pair of ACU's. They were not found, so supposedly our males won't get to watch the Superbowl tonight. That's right! They are actually going to let us watch the Superbowl tonight!
      We quickly scrubbed our floor and then had MRE's for dinner. We then went to the classroom to watch the game. Only 8 of our females went. I only bothered to watch the commercials and spent the rest of the time talking with some of the girls from other platoons. I watched the climatic ending of the game and we all headed to bed after a quick Hydration Formation. The best part, we don't have to  wake up until 0700!
