I am out of basic training, and a full fledged airman first class, with all the benefits and money that go with it. It has been a long, challenging two months and I am glad it is over. Still, I will miss these utter morons I've been forced to live with. I made a couple good friends, which I suppose was inevitable. It is difficult not to learn a lot about human beings from a place like this, and now that I finally have the chance to think I realize that everything I once thought about people is correct. They are idiots who aren't worth the breath wasted bitching about them. But there is so much more than that. When you live with someone like that 24 7, you see the human in them that is just like you. Pain, sadness, loneliness. Humor and kindness too. It is so confusing to not be able to simply write someone off as a buffoon, when I now see that even the most pathetic dickhead can easily have many positive qualities if you just give them a chance. I don't like it, either way. It makes me all uncomfortable.
