Well, yesterday was very interesting to say the least. There was no time to write due to all that happened. I started off the day by working with some of the others on a job for one of the drill sergeants. Then, around lunch time, they took us out to join the rest of the company for training. We learned about the M240B machine gun, then we got to shoot 50 rounds through it. It was pretty fun.
However, at some point before I got out there, one of the guys from my platoon was caught with dip or snuff or something like that. They started questioning him and he named others who were involved and by the time they were done, they had five other people from the platoon, along with others from other platoons who were involved. Supposedly, all these people will be getting restarted, and I hope they do because some of them are some of the ones who keep acting up.
When we got back, they made us all wait downstairs while the drill sergeants searched the bays and everyone's lockers. As part of the punishment, we got very little sleep last night. Half the platoon had to be on duty for two hour shifts all night long. I got about four hours of sleep. This is supposed to continue until Drill Sergeant Slade says otherwise, so I think we're going to be tired for a while.
