i'm sad, but oddly at peace anyway. tra isn't going to be able to come to baltimore this weekend as we had both been hoping for. in order to be able to leave his training base he had to pass a physical test and a STAR test [i for get what the letters stand for]. his drill sergeant who was in charge of judging or whatever was the same one that gave him the assignment to guard the memorial day parade [which tra successfully switched with his roommate] well apparently the drill sergeant was sore about it as part of getting even, he only counted half of tra's pushups on his physical test [tho he passed it anyway] and i have yet to find out the details, but i think he probably did something similar for the STAR test, which tra failed. i'll find out later today what really happened, but i'm bummed. he won't have another chance to take that test for a month and i really want to see him again.
