What I did today

Rolled out of bed about 04:55 and took a shower, I have a roommate and his room is right next to the shower I'm always worried about waking him up, and I was this morning. I shaved my head and I got ready. My boots are not polished as they should be, I haven't figured it out yet, but man, the other guy's boots look a lot better than mine do. I wanted to polish them up last night but I spent about an hour ironing my BDU and I had to go to bed. I'll keep working on it.

Once I got to the green things got started and it was fun. One thing we didn't do correctly is call out the commandeers name correctly. See, when wearing PT uniform its okay to say "sir" but in BDUs, you have to say their rank and name. We got it wrong and had to do push-ups, then we went to the gym to practice marching. Marching isn't that easy, its tricky to know which foot to call what command on, and if you don't call it on the right foot, then you know it and the whole flight looks like crap. Luckily, I never had to lead the flight today, I guess I say luckily because I wasn't given the chance to screw something up, but then again, I did miss a chance to practice calling out the commands in a correct manner. Here's a some of the stuff they say "forward Harch", "to the rear, Harch", "right flank, harch", "present harms", "order harms". It's fun.

Last night we had a flight meeting, just where all the kids in the flight have meeting and work on stuff, here we had to practice marching and also how to fold stuff. Cadet Captain Baker divided us up into two groups and had some fold some stuff and the other half go march. It was fun, I can now say that I know, better than I did before this, how to properly fold socks, shirts and towels. It sounds kind of cheesy, but according to Baker, this stuff is important in camp and can really get you a leg up if you know this stuff before going to field training.
