Day 29 of BTC
Despite the extra sleep, it was still tough to get up this morning. The bay was cold, too. We bundled up and headed to formation then marched to breakfast at the DFAC. Our platoon has duty this week, so we have to serve chow and carry the weapons rack everywhere. I had planned to eat cereal for breakfast, so I didn't bother to get pancakes or eggs, but then the cereal wasn't set out, so I ended up just having grapes, yogurt, and a biscuit with gravy. I'll be hungry before lunch.
We marched back quickly and eagerly went to our bays for personal time. Sadly the bays were cold. I curled up on the floor and napped for about 20-30 minutes before working on catching up on writing my blog and writing letters. We were going to do extra PT as a platoon, but decided not to due to the cold.
Lunch was at 1300. I was starving and actually ate my whole tray. Thankfully, my APG ate slow enough so I had time to eat. After lunch, we had outdoor beautification detail. Basically, we just picked up trash, swept the pavement, and cleaned the company vehicles. Then we marched back to DFAC for an early dinner. I ended up being a server, so I had to eat last. I didn't even take time to get a drink, and I still didn't have enough time to eat much.
After dinner, we had a quick values training, going over the Army Value of Honor. We then had platoon time/weapons cleaning. Our PG did an awesome job and had us make use of the time to share more about ourselves to the group. About 10 of us shared. Before going home our DS said we could take personal time early, but just as we were all headed to the showers, another DS made us go back to our male bay until 1900. We still had over an hour of personal time which was nice.
There isn't any place to be alone around here except the toilet stall. So if there isn't a line to use the bathroom, I sometimes sit there an extra few minutes just to be myself. I did just that for about 10 minutes tonight.
We then had HF and off to bed. Fireguard tonight!
