lately...
i've been dreaming like crazy. dreams of glory, agony, love and war. it's constant for me now, which is weird for me. normally i'd dream once a month or so, now it's multiple times a night.
the colonel and sergeant major briefed us this morning in the motorpool. our warning orders came in over the weekend from 1st army command. we're back into the training cycle and looking at a july 08 deployment at the latest. with that notice the guys and i from b-troop 5/15, our training unit in ft. knox, made a pact to do anything and everything to make sure we look after each other. even if that means one of us comes back in pieces to make sure another comes back in the seat of a plane, not in the cargo hold.
it's amazing how much i'd do for the men in my unit with the little time i've known them. i've learned more in the past few weeks i've been here, than i have in my four months of training in kentucky. my first test is the field exercises we have starting tomorrow. i fully plan on proving myself to the veterans of the troop in the next few days to show i'm not just another a shit brained, punk private.
