Egads I'm not posting enough. I need to set up some kind of schedule, force myself to post every so often. I miss all the talking and discussing and seeing what's going on in every one's lives.
Work in progressing great, I'm continueing to impress my bosses (two senior NCO's) and the officers I work for, as well as mentoring a special needs soldier (my lable for him) into something to be proud of. My special needs sergeant is currently at sergeant school and doing his best to be a fuck up apparently. He failed the physical fitness test and doesn't think it's that big of a deal. So i'm going to havfe to get up at the but crack of dawn to run with him and give him that special encouragement to get his fat ass across the finish line in time.
Speak of PT tests, I had mine Monday. Last week, Tuesday i think it was, I had an appointment about my foot (mystery pains) and while there I found out I was at 107lbs, my max weight being 189. Very bad. But the Redhead is also a personal trainer (or something similar to it, not exactly sure what it is) and put me on a crash diet that, while utterly horried (I had to eat nothing but meat for days) did get me down to 192lbs in four days so I was quite happy with it. As for the test itself, I raised my scores in push up and sit ups so all is well on that front.
Home life is getting better for the most part, we're not just working on communitcating more but actually doing it. Tanya is getting a lot more comfortable with me having a girlfriend and it helps out that the two of the get along fabulously.
it's not perfect by any means, but it could be a lot worse.
As for drama. A soldier who is kind of mine but not really got DFS called on her and her kid ended up dumped in the lap of my soldier's wife (who already has 4) so it was all in my lap as well. But I think that's mostly dealt with, as is the extra duty another soldier in my section got for gross stupidity (no, that's not a formal charge in the UCMJ, but it should be).
