Day 59

Day 54 of BCT

Today I got the news that I do get to retest again on Saturday. This will be my last chance to pass the PT test. For PT, we had muscle strengthening. I was scared to push too much thogh, because I don't want to be too sore on Saturday. I know I can do 11 pushups if I can just get my muscles to recover. It's almost like my body isn't getting enough calories at this point to function right. I'm trying to eat more, but I'm a really slow eater and I don't like to eat after I already feel full.

After breakfast, we again got ready for the real inspection. We we supposed to be inspected by the Bsttslion Command Sergeant Major and Lt. Colonel. The CSM came through our bay really quick, but our actual inspection was done by the new DS. Rumor is that she is being trained to be the 1SG. She was pretty easy on us and mostly just inspected our uniforms and made sure we know how to wear them correct toy. We changed for chow and headed to the DFAC.

After chow we went to our male bay. Our DS asked everyone to be quiet and of course no one wanted to be quiet and of course no one wanted to keep their mouth shut so we got smoked. She had me out the most part of it because of the PT test, so I was lucky. We then had 20 minutes to pack our rucksacks for Victory Forge. They are taking them out to the field tomorrow. We then spent the whole afternoon cleaning our weapons.

For dinner I asked my DS if I could have an MRE so I could get more calories. She agreed, so after we all got back from the DFAC! Me and my battle buddy sat at the back door and ate MRE's. The whole platoon was issued laser gear for Victory Forge. We'll be wearing it over our gear and it will allow us to "kill" each other during our last training exercise. The end is in sight if I can pass my PT test! I'd I don't pass I will either be chaptered out of the Army and sent home, or I will be restarted at week 1 with a new company. I really hope I can pass.

There was no mail today, but we lucked out and got personal time early. We had HF and bed. I had hoped to miss out of FG, but one girl was on med quarters so I had to take her shift in the middle of the night.
