Lost one...

Before I start, this computer sucks!!! OK, I'm better now.

This morning as we lined up for PT, we noticed we were missing a guy from my squad. As we stood there, we saw him go turn his uniforms in. For whatever reason, he left...even though we knew him for a week, he will be missed. The instructors won't tell us why, we just wish he would have said something to those of us in his squad or in the platoon (class). The weird thing is, his dad is a Batallion Chief at one of the stations in the county so you would think he would be more motivated. Like I said, he will be missed...As a rule, his name tag will remain where he sat for the rest of the class. After doing extended PT, my arms still feel like they could fall off, we had 10 minutes to change and be back in class. Most of the day was spent learning about infectious diseases and how easily they're spread. Our instructor played a prank on us to teach that lesson. While we were changing, she put a luminescent powder on her hands and walked around, opening/closing doors, picking up keys that were on the desk, shaking hands with people, ect... Class starts and she pulls out a blacklight to see who and what has the powder on them. About half the class had some powder somewhere. It definately drove that lesson home, but now half the class is a little paranoid.

Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be fun, we're going to EVOC (learning to drive the ambulances). Our instructor was nice and cleared it for us to wear our PT gear (shorts and t-shirt) as well as to take grills and cookout each day.

Mmmm....dinner's ready, gotta run.

Stay safe.
