My last post was back in November or October. The reason? I haven't had any Internet access!
Yes, being an IET (Initial Entry Training) soldier in the Army is probably one step above being in maximum security lockdown. These past 5 months have been interesting, in a miserable, grueling, yet fast moving sort of way. I shipped for Basic Training on November 16 and graduated on February 10. Advanced Individual Training (AIT) started the very next day. I was able to land a very advanced, technical job as an electronics technician on the Apache attack helicopter. Too bad for me, AIT is six months long. I've been there for eight weeks (seemingly forever, already) and have fifteen weeks left. After that, who knows how long before I go to Iraq.
I have no idea why I decided to post, other than just to check back. The only thing really worth mentioning is that I got to fire machine guns, rocket launchers, and lob grenades. Other than that, the last six months for me have mostly just been being called "fuckstick, bonehead, Sally, clown, etc".
I miss you all (even the ones I've bumped heads with). I miss the insults. I miss the rants. I really miss the politics.
Hope all is well in the world of Uber.
I would like to introduce you to my new boss. I love him like a son loves his alcoholic father.
