Another little update:
I'm starting week 7 of my BMQ on Tuesday. Grad week is week 13, so that means only about 5 more weeks of course after this coming week. 3 of those weeks are in Farnham.
I received my rifle this past week, and I am told I have to name it. So far I haven't though. Thursday and Friday were spent taking weapons classes and learning rifle drill. My shoulder is all pretty purple, but it's been fun so far. This coming week will be spent basically doing more weapons classes and drill, as well as some topo. Next week will be spent doing a lot of tests on weapons handling, drill, and topo. The following week will be spent in Farnham, then back at the mega for a week of gas hut type training, then 2 more weeks in Farnham..... and then grad week!
Saying it all that way reminds me of how close I am to being done! A very exciting thought for sure!
Morale is good these days, and they are keeping us all super busy. My staff are awesome, and I am with some great people on course. Overall we're having a blast, with a mix of "days from hell". Morning PT is going well. Well as good as any run at 0510 can be...lol.
Oh the best news of all.. My Mom has booked her flights out here for my graduation! October 18th will be the big day, and my Mom seems very excited to get out here. I can't wait to see her!
Thanks to all for your support throughout all this, I really appreciate it.
