I just got home a few days ago from my "vacation". By vacation i mean i joined the Army. To be honest basic wasnt what i thought it would be at all. It was alot easier than i expected. I dont know if that says alot for me, or a little for basic. Maybe i shouldnt say easy, but i expected the whole drill sgts up in your face yelling all the time. Yes, that happened, but it wasnt often. You really had to screw up to get that special treatment.

It feels great to be back though, being gone for 5 months makes you realize the stuff you value.

Hey, welcome back! Nothing wrong with training or you, you just did it right - do what they tell you the way they tell you and it's much much easier.

Where did you attend basic? With 5 months I'm thinking you're Infantry?

Fort Leonard Wood, MO

Missouri is the devil by the way. The weather is just insane. I thought the MN weather was crazy...boy was i wrong. When it goes from 70 one day to 7 inches of snow the next, then back to 70 the day after...something is wrong.

That's right...I remember you were going the MP route. Missouri weather can be funky... but it was "All good training"....wasn't it!

Most of the training was really fun. The only thing that i could do without are the ruck marches. Not because they're hard, but its just so boring!
