Nyquil -- a lot, maybe 1/2 beer worth of alcohol -- slight tingle for a few seconds b4 bed last night.
Sitting on my bunk about 3 1/4 hours free time now. Fixed up my wall locker, laundry tonight on FG duty.
"High & Tight" is my new hairstyle -- short on top, shaved sides. Kinda like it.
Talked
w/ Mom, Dad, Justine last night. Dad's 50th party last night -- didn't
even realize it was going on when I called --all is well on the homefront.
So good to hear their voices again -- they all miss me they say.
I do miss them. Katrina recognizes my picture -- so a fear of mine,
that she would not knwo me when I come back, is alleviated. Talked
w/ Carpenter some last night -- his regrets on enlisting to pay his $60,000
college debt -- his talk more to reassure himself it seemed -- I had little
to offer the conversation, really...Cookies were so good & everyone
else agreed. Thanks so much Mom!
Turned into a rather uneventfull day -- passed the other
2 parts of my Phase I test. Boot shining, locker straightening.
Phase I is over, no lining up just outside the mess hall after chow now
-- a little responsibility given to form up a couple blacks away in our
battery parking lot.
Wahoo!
Pratt & Brown rapping it down a bit down -- Brown on spat spat beat & rythm.
Personal time isn't for another 1/2 technically -- wondering if I can shower now or not...
