Last night we got off around supper time so a few of us went for a nice run and then split a cab ride to San Antonio. We went to the River Walk We ate at a nice Mexican Restaurant and walked around a bit and headed back home so we could get our duffel bags packed for next week.There isn't much going on at Ft. Sam this morning for me. I slept in until 7 am and rushed out to get my chance at one of the 2 washing machines available in this building. It seems like they run non-stop. I got lucky and got to do a load of laundry but just one so I threw everything in together..nothing faded or bled so I got lucky other than that fact that I had two casualties left on the battle field..a lowly pair of socks goes MIA. I will hold a memorial service for them later this AM.
Later today we will meet up with our platoon, draw our weapons (M-16s) and get our duffel bags loaded on a truck that will deliver them to Camp Bullis where I will spend the next five days doing field exercises, land navigation, and weapons qualification. We will do a PT (physical fitness...another acronym uggh) while we are there too.....Good news, my roomie just walked in with one of my missing socks so the memorial service will just be for its fallen comrade.
They encourage us to take pics on FTX (Field Training eXercise) so I should be able to post some cool pics later. I'll close with an interesting little factoid regarding all of the Army acronyms that I had mentioned in an earlier post. It seems that there are 385 pages of them on the official list. Insane isn't it?
