Day 39

Day 34 of BCT

     Today is an exciting day. We get our ASU's (Army Service Uniform or Dress Blues)! We didn't have to wake up until 0530 and no PT! We had formation and then marched to where the buses could pick us up (since most roads are closed from 0600-0700 for PT runs). They took us back to Reception where our whole adventure started. we first got sent to get shots, those of us that needed the second round of Hep A & B. So much for getting those shots back in junior high! Luckily, we then got to eat chow. Same food as our DFAC, but it  tasted a little better coming from somewhere else. Then the fun began. Males and females were separated and they lined us up to size us for our dress blues. We got shoes first, then shirts, jackets, pants, and a skirt. Oh, and also a long trench coat. It went pretty quickly and they marked everything to be fitted. We should get them back in a few weeks.
     We then got the chance to exchange ACU's. I traded mine in since they are all so big on me, and the pants are too short to stay tucked in my boots. Then the fun part. Waiting! At least we didn't have to wait standing or sitting on the floor. The males took a lot longer to go through than the females, but there is over 3 times as many of them. We ate lunch while we waited. Everyone thought their DFAC was better then ours. Of course everyone got too loud while we waited, so we got to wait outside on the gravel after lunch.
      We left 120th around 1430 and once we got back to our company, we went and did PT. We just did the Prep Drill, Core Exercises, hip exercises and cool down and they gave us the instructions for our PT test tomorrow.
      Then we changed to ACU's for dinner at the DFAC. After chow, we had lots of conflicting instructions , but we eventually got our mail (I got a package!) and had an early HF before going to bed early. PT test tomorrow at 0500 with a 0430 wake up. And I have Fireguard from 0250-0330.
