I start school tomorrow!

I don't know how good I am about doing this every day but I'm trying. Where I left off, I was still in processing. Friday we had an early formation in the morning, ate at the DFAC and then Sam, my roommate, and I went back to the room and crashed out til lunch formation. They told us we were heading off to HHC company for OBC. Of course it decided to pour the entire time we were loading our bags onto the bus. We drove about ten minutes to the main side of post and there we were.

We signed in there and then went over the HHC building where all the officer candidates that had been recycled from other companies, the broken ones, the ones that quit and the ones waiting to go to my company. They were filling our heads up with all sorts of advice and rumors and scaring the living crap out of us. If you don't drink enough milk, you can get stress fractures and get kicked out. If you miss a comma in one of the written memorization's, you get kicked out. If you fall back on a run, you get kicked out. Everyone runs at an eight minutes pace or less, if you don't, you get kicked out. If you are caught fraternizing, you get kicked out. This one guy had been there for seven MONTHS! I think he was pretty much full of it and it has been a running joke now between my little group of people that hangs out....YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT! Obviously we have had to establish a rumor patrol.
That night Sam and I were put in a bay with a bunch of other females and they told us we could sleep on some cots. Charming. We found some empty beds though so at least we got to sleep in a bed. Up early in the morning again for a formation. Remember what I told you about the people at HHC now? They have formations in the morning so that people can be assigned details throughout the day. I thought I had got lucky but not so fast....I got to drain oil and gas out of lawn mowers with a bunch of other females. At least I kind of knew what I was doing. Once that was done, more formations, more sitting around and then finally we had a briefing with the 1SG.
He told us about what it would be like, then pretty much released us for the weekend. They told us to move over to our permanent company where we will living for the next 12 weeks.
Sam and I moved our stuff over there and then showered and changed into civilian clothes. We went to a Mexican restaurant and then came back to the barracks.

Saturday we got up around ten or so and went for a run around the track we will be using for our pt test. We made a new friend, Mona who ran with us. She timed us and it looks like we will be fine for our pt test. Came back, showered, changed, went to IHOP and ate. Then we went to see the movie Hangover which was super funny. Then crashed out again.

Which brings me to Sunday. I obviously have internet now...yay! We were up by eight and went on a 3 miler. It was a little intense sunwise today though. We need to run before the sun comes up. A ton of people have moved in and we have 151 people in our class now. Which is great because that way noone gets cut. So we start off with the height and weight tomorrow morning and then fill out a lot of paperwork to kick this thing off. I have duty from 0200 to 0400 which sucks really bad. That is such an ackward time. Wake up is at 445 and formation is at 515. Then our last formation tonight is 2050 so no sleep for poor Julie. lol. I will deal with it though. Nothing too strenous going on tomorrow.

So Georgia is BLAZING hot. I feel constantly dehydrated and burning up. Sam gets a little sweat on her hairline and meanwhile I am pouring sweat...into my eyes, down my back, its ugly I tell you. I think I will come back a good twenty pounds lighter. And then everyone says "this is nothing! wait til August!" Great.
