Home on Leave

I've been home about a week. It's fantastic. People are especially nice when they know you wont be home long. It's kinda nice.

My grandpa is in the hospital. He's pretty sick. Actually, I don't think he's doing that bad considering his horrible life-style. He looks pretty bad. He tells me he likes to fake getting sick so the pretty nurses can give him sponge baths. I wouldn't put it past him!

Graduation

I am all signed out. I'm done with school. They had a nice little ceremony. This time no families made it. Kind of sad.

I got the option to go back home for something called HRAP. I guess I work in the recruiters office for 30 days recruiting people. If I get 10 people I get promoted to E2. I am totally doing this! I miss my family so much!

Georgia, or was it Florida?

God Bless 4 day weekends. Typically on the weekend soldiers put in for a pass to leave base and just stay at some cheap hotel in Augusta. I've done it once with Fedora. We had fun! If you don't put in a pass you are basically tied to the barracks doing something called fire guard. It sucks. This past weekend was memorial weekend. 4 days at the barracks?! NO THANK YOU!

Ft. Gordon Georgia

I'm now in AIT. I don't know what that stands for actually. It's just like college but a much shorter duration. At least for the job I picked. Some people are here for 2 years. Some for 3 months. And me? 9 measly weeks. HA! My job... I'm a 74C. We say it like "Charlie." So far I fix stuff. Or so I'm told. It's only been a couple days so all we've really done is look at fake classified messages and learned how to decipher them. Kinda neat. Most classes here have 20-40 people. There's only 7 in my class. And they are people I went to BCT with. I am so happy!

BCT: Graduation Day

Not a lot of journal time. They took it along with my civilian clothes for the duration. I just got them back today. Graduation day woohoo! So, how did it go?
