It’s August
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!
It’s August! Yeah! This means I only have a month left! Maybe a little less if my acceleration request goes through. I hope it does. It has to go all the way up to the Lieutenant Colonel. If that goes through, I can leave on the 30th of August as opposed to the 4th of September. I have a little over 4 weeks left. 9 weeks have flown by. I want OUT. I hate Virginia and it’s mostly because of the stupid weather. I have over-night pass this weekend, but I’m not going anywhere. I’m sitting my ass in Fort Lee, Virginia, using the Internet and the phone. That’s all I’m doing. Another weekend… My time here draws to an end!!

We deserve more Respect
Man I’m pissed! Some of my professors are SO DAMN RUDE! They are so obtuse! They are absolutely unwilling to help me out. They keep talking about how important it is to be on time for classes but they will do nothing to help me get there on time. Their brain seems to have some problem comprehending the “I am here under orders from the United States Government” part. Doesn’t matter. I sent an email out to the Dean. I can’t believe that they don’t have to common courtesy to reply to me like decent, mature individuals. I can’t believe that they won’t even give me a little bit of respect – especially considering the things I am doing. Yeah… let their lame asses run 6 miles in 85% humidity at 3 in the afternoon. I am busting my ass so that THEY can feel safe… I hate them.
Well, another weekend rolls by… Can’t wait to graduate.

Another weekend
One more weekend rolls by. Went to the mall again. Saw “K-19: The Widowmaker” which was a pretty good movie. I liked it. More drama than I expected, but I wasn’t disappointed. Nothing else is going on. The weather just keeps getting hotter and hotter. I hate it. Around 46 or so days left… Yee-haw! See y’all next weekend (not like anyone reads this crap anyways).

Off-Post passes RULE!
Oh yeah! Another weekend is here!! WOOHOO!! I can’t post here regularly anymore… They moved the dayroom because some other stupid Company needed it. Our Senior DS tried real hard to keep it. When he couldn’t, he just moved over all the stuff to where we currently live. Couldn’t move the computer because it costs a lot of money and they don’t want to risk dropping it or something – I don’t know how that piece of crap could be expensive. If it is, then someone conned them. Anyway, went and saw MIB II coz we got OFF POST PASSES!!! THEY RULE!!! The movie was alright – not as good as the first, but still entertaining.
Well… gotta go now… see you all next week…

Virginia in the summertime
SUCKS. I have “Virginia in the summertime” on my list of places NOT TO BE IN. Why? Because it’s HUMID that’s why. You sweating your ass off just standing and doing nothing. Anyways… It’s the weekend again WOOHOO!! And I’m in a bowling alley on Ft. Lee. Last week went by fast.
On the 4th of July we had a “motivational company run” at six in the morning. Fun stuff (No, really!). We ran around 5 miles I think. Then that evening we went to a concert by someone called EPMD. I’ve never heard of him/them before. The concert was ok. It wasn’t really my kind of stuff. Some songs were alright. The next day (Friday) was cool – it was a company cook-out day. Just lounged about ALL DAY. Fun stuff. The 1SG, DS’s and the CO were serving us lunch. It was pretty neat. Now it’s Saturday and I’m so happy! Completed rites of passage today. I am officially a Quartermaster in the United States Army. The Quartermaster Corps is the second oldest corps (the first being Infantry) formed only three days after the army was formed. Cool huh? Well, so for our rites of passage, we went to the Army Quartermaster Museum, where we got to see artifacts all the way back from the War of Independence. Real awesome stuff. We also got to see a little movie (with a cheesy 80′s soundtrack) about the history of the corps. All in all, it was nice. It gave me a sense of pride to be part of history. What else… just chilling in the bowling alley now… gonna go and chill some more! I LOVE WEEKENDS!!!

I hate moving
I hate moving. I hate moving my locker and my bunks. I hate it. I hate it mostly because I’ve ONLY DONE IT NINE TIMES SINCE I’VE BEEN HERE!!! GOOD LORD! It’s the WORST. But anyway… I got it all squared away. Today was cool. Slept till 1030hrs. So made up for all the sleep I lost last week. Then pressed my uniforms and shined my display boots. After that we had lunch and then did the barracks… Got bay guard in seven mintues… SUCKS! That’s pretty much it… see you later…

It’s the weekend WOOHOO!
Alright! It’s Saturday again! Man! What a week! I have had a total ok 8 hours of sleep this ENTIRE WEEK! That’s because we have been practicing for the Drill and Ceremony competition. We’ve been up till 1 am doing it. Wake up is at 4 am… BUT I have to press my uniform and shine my boots and that gives me a grand total of (drum roll please) ONE HOUR OF SLEEP! So that’s how it’s been this entire week. I’m tired as hell. I’ve fallen asleep standing on my feet. How many of you have done that? Yeah I did that while I was at a Change of Command Ceremony. I was that tired. I haven’t slept yet… Nope… Can’t waste the weekend! That reminds me though… I’m PISSED! I’m supposed to be on BLUE pass… but NOOOO! I’m on WHITE pass still because they SCREWED UP my score on the PT Test! So I have to pay for THEIR mistake. Oh that sounds SO DAMN FAIR!! They added two minutes to my run time. I ran 2 miles in 14:44 and they got it down as 16:44… bastards…
What else? Hmm… Nothing else I guess… 9 more weeks to go. I wanna get out of here ASAP. I’m gonna post something tomorrow too…

Some more stuff from
What’s going on? Sorry for this spree of Journal Entries. I haven’t used a computer in over 3 weeks and I was having withdrawal symptoms – and now that I have access to one (with the bare minimum of utilities) I’m a little hyper. By the way, here’s a link to the Java SSH Client that I mentioned. It’s pretty neat. I was able to fix my page from here.
How are things here… hmm… HARD. As luck would have it, I’m in a really hard company – G Company and they’re BIG on PT (Physical Training). To give you an example, last Wednesday we did a 4 mile company run in 100+F and 60% Humidity. Yeah, so I’m getting my ass kicked. But I haven’t fallen out of any runs yet. And I’m not going to either.
That’s pretty much it. Classes are boring ass hell – all about filling out forms. It’s easy but BORING. I keep nodding off. Must stop doing that! But other than that, its just all about getting used to the routine. I’m pretty sure I can do it. It’s definitely easier than Basic Training. You have a lot more freedom, but you have to be responsible too.
Well that’s pretty much it. I might be here next week. See y’all then!
