Today was supposed to be mid-cycle testing, but it didn't really happen so I don't know if it's going to happen later or if it's going to be one of those everyone passes things. Today we also learned how to setup, disassemble, and reassemble the M2 .50 caliber machine gun. Tomorrow after the PT test, we are supposed to go fire them. That should be fun.
Also today, a lot of us went back to 30th AG to exchange ACUs and boots that were stained, damaged, didn't fit, etc. I got four brand new sets of ACUs in Large instead of Extra-Large. That was very exciting! I look much thinner in them because they are a much better fit than the XLs were. The XLs had gotten really baggy on me. Plus, my old ones had dirt stains and things like that from all the training. I'm hoping with these to only wear two pair between now and graduation and keep the other two sets in new condition. I'm not positive, but I think we wear our Class As (the dress greens) for Family Day and the Beret Ceremony and our ACUs for graduation itself.
Like I said, tomorrow is the final PT test. Here's hoping that I pass. I should be okay. I'll be thinking of you and of seeing you, and that should provide me with all the motivation that I need. I'm determined to pass.
Now that we are in blue phase, we seem to have much more free time. The drill sergeants leave around dinner time, so unless they leave us an assignment, we generally have from after dinner until lights out as free time.
