Week off

Well, it's Wednesday, July 30, and my next class, the Infantry Officer Basic Course, starts Monday morning, at the comfortable 04000. We had graduation for BOLC II on Thursday morning, and on Fri I drove down to Panama City to be with Christina during my 4-day pass they gave us. I got back yesterday afternoon. So, if you would like to know what we do during the week in between our classes, we show up for PT at 0545, workout, show up for another formation at 0900 and once again at 1300, or 1PM. What is nice is that I haven't got stuck with any crappy work details so far so most of my friends and I have been able to just go back to our houses or apartments and rest and take care of personnel stuff, which I have been doing all day. So this week not much is happening, which is fine with me. I was able to set up my language classes on Rosetta Stone recently and have already completed a few lessons. I am taking Arabic for the Army requirement and German as an additional one. Arabic is definitely going to harder to learn since I have no prior knowledge of it as well as having a much different alphabet. German goes much faster since I am able to read and learn it much faster. Its been nice and hot every day here so at least I can count on that. I will write again after a few weeks of class.
