So...we're down to 1 week! I think I might be in denial, or just general shut-down mode because I sit at my house and think "Wow, there are a million things I should probably be doing!" and then I just sit there some more, or I do some push ups, which keep getting easier...I guess that's the point! So, the Mega Future Soldier function was actually really cool. Not so much LandNav, but some map reading, first aid, IED and gas mask training. I was able to get the mask on and sealed in under 9 seconds, so there's a pretty good chance that I will survive a NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) attack! :)
My mom is getting into the Army thing as well. She actually threw out an acronym like a pro this afternoon! Made me laugh! At this point, I would like to give my mom and dad a shout out! They have been AMAZING throughout this whole process, just like Marybeth. The support they have shown me in this decision has reminded me why they are awesome parents. I hope they know how much I appreciate everything they have done for me and how much I love them! It is because of them that I have become the person I am, and I hope I make them proud.
So, now that I'm crying, I'll focus on the humor in MB's last post. She really did kick my feet out from under me! And I let her...heh. To this day, I'm not sure why I kept doing it, but I did. Ah, good times!
To everyone that came out to my going away party: THANK YOU! It was great to see you and get to spend time with you before I leave. I am truly blessed to have such great friends. A special thanks to Uncle Bob and cousin Bobby for making the trip all the way from Michigan. I love you!
I've enabled mobile blogging, so as long as I have my cell phone, I can post to the blog. Not sure if I'll be able to keep during my week in Reception, but we shall see. It's weird to think that my life will soon not be my own, so I'm going to enjoy this freedom while it lasts!
I'll post again soon!
