Well, Its currently Tuesday the 15th. Meaning in one week, I will be back in California undergoing yet more demanding training. More M-16 rifle shooting, More Close Combat training, More hiking, but with heavier packs, and longer distances, as well as learning to use Grenades. This time training is 22 or 23 days long, Hopefully it isnt too bad. Rumor has it that after that they are going to give us 3 weeks vacation that I will have to make up for by not having vacation for about another year, but oh well. Well, being in the Marine Corps is all about setting the example. Its all about being proper, about appereance. Being home, Its hard for me to even look at my old civilian clothes. I dont want anything to do with them. Some people have told me that they've noticed many differences in me, I, Myself, am not sure exactly what they all are, but They are for the better. Lets see, I went to my old highschool today, I hit up the weight room. I figured that since Ive gained a bit of weight from bootcamp to use it to my advantage and turn it to muscle. So, for the last 2 days ive used the gym there. Hopefully I can stay motivated enough to stay with it. I know I need it. Anyways, after I go back to cali for about a month, and if I get to come home, I ship out to Fort Lenordwood, MO. for about a month and a half. Then its off to my first permanent duty station in the fleet. Fun shit. hopefully by that time Ill pick up one stripe. We'll see though. Well, thats about all thats happened in my day. Kill.
