Well. We've been in a holding pattern for a week or so now, waiting to send everyone overseas. I got Smallpox, Anthrax and Typhoid vaccinations, which are still making me feel pretty lousy. We've had a company-level record APFT (which I passed, surprisingly enough!), and we've gone off-post some, mostly to Wal-Mart and the mall in Hattiesburg.
But all the good stuff is over now, thanks to Alpha, Charlie, and Delta companies. THEY had to have soldiers who went and bought alcohol (from the PX! In uniform! with their weapon!), or who got busted putting on civilian clothes and getting drunk in Hattiesburg. So, it comes down from Battalion - no more going out. No more going to the PX unescorted. As the 1st Sergeant put it, if it's fun, you need to be escorted by an NCO.
Still, there are other ways to have fun. I've watched a lot of videos on my laptop, and played a lot more of FarCry. I have other plans too, but I'll update you on those later.
There's not much else to talk about at the moment that would be operationally secure, so you'll have to wait another week or two and check back.
