Well today we did our 3 mile rd march. We marched one hour and we had plates on, we were the only unit that did. I have blisters where I didn't think you could get blisters, like between my toes, my poor little feet are so sore! We get there and got to eat an MRE for breakfast. WOW my first MRE! I had chicken pesto noodles. It was pretty good, but the best part was that our platoon got to eat dessert. I got vanilla pudding and pineapple. It was alright. One of my battle buddies got reeses and we shared so that was cool. Then we did bayonet training and an obstacle course carring a weapon w/ a bayonet attached. (I know picture me with a M16 that has a 6" knife on the front) No, I did not fall, LOL. That was alright, would have been funner if I didn't have tons of blisters. Oh well, life goes on. Then we did the pugles, they are the Qtip looking things that you fight each other with. I got called out by the female and told to stop flirting with all the boys. She is like 20 and fights all the time so I was like well I might as well take my beating and move on LOL. Well I did better than I thought. I did not fall down and landed a couple good shots. She ended up fighting for our squad as light weight female so I did not feel so bad that I got my butt kicked. Our platoon should have won, but it came down to a cheer off with the two not in contension and since we just kicked their ass they did not cheer for us like they were supposed to. So the other team won, but their DS refused to take the ribbon or the win because the team that was supposed to cheer didn't. He thought it was BS so that streamer didn't go to anyone because we refused to accept it also. It rained the whole time we did pugles so it was cold and we were soaked too! I have been here 2 weeks and away from home for 1 month now. This last week flew by! I hope they all do. Decided that I hate females from 18-23 they are so undiciplined, I could scream! Right now I am on fireguard. I have it from 1-3am arg! Oh well it just means I don't have tomorrow and I can sleep in sunday like everyone else.
