"Got a letter in the mail, it said go to war or go to jail

Sat me down in a Barbers Chair, spun me around I had no hair.

I used to wear my faded jeans, now Im wearing Army Greens

I used to date a beauty queen, now I love my M-16

I used to eat and Mickey D's, now I eat these M.R.Es

I used to drive a Chevrolete, now Im walking everyday.

Mama Mama cant you see? What the Armys done to me.

The Army life is not my style, they got me looking like Gomar Pile."

So I finished 9 weeks of Basic Training. I have the weekend off and Im enjoying it with my Family. My brother was smart enough to bring down the laptop so I can get online for a little bit.

Just to think, if I would have picked any other job in the Army besides the Infantry I would be done with Basic Training by now. But I have about 4 more weeks to go and then Ill be off to Airborne School.

I found out where Ill be getting stationed at when Im done with Airborne School. Ill be going to the 173 Airborne Brigade over in Italy. Thats right baby Ill be off to Italy. Its kind of crazy though. The first time Im living on my own will be in a entirely different country with an 8 hour time difference.

My drill sargents are pretty cool. I have one of the most decrotive drill sargents on Fort Benning. He has 6 bronze stars, and 4 of them are with Valor, and he loves teaching us shit about "haji" and "sadiki".

Some of the other drill sargents in the company love getting off by putting privates in the push up position, making us do flutter kicks, and mountain climbers. Im probably in the best shape of my life right now.

But anyway that about all the news from me. Its deffinetly a change of pace in my life. To be honest, I enjoy it better than the pace I had before.

Ill be back in about 4 weeks.

Catch ya later
