Day 4

Well the days arer slowly ticking away which is nice. Okay they are really going by slowly. It will be nice when I get to iraq and start working on my job. Eight to 12 hour shifts will make time go by faster. Today I woke up at 0400 party because I was going to the range but mostly because I went to bed at 1900 last night. going to bed so early was really needed. I was out like a rock. Just after I had fallen asleep the guy next to me woke me up to tell me formation wasn't until 0600 when it had been planned for 0500. I didn't remember any of the conversation and after waking up in the morning I had to lay there a couple of minutes deciding if it was a dream or if it jad really happened. My decision was made for me though when another guy woke up and asked if I would go to breakfast with him, I consented. After breakfast we grabbed our gear to go to the range. We went out side for formation at six and waited. And waited some more, then for the hell of it we waited a little longer. At about 0800 I was standing there debating if I could seek away. I was the only guy out there from my section and no one was really accounting for me. So I picked up my gear and walked back into the tent! It was a smart desission! The other three guys I worked with said they felt bad that they all got out of it and was going to be out there all by myself. So instead of going out to stand in a wind/sand storm shoot maybe nine rounds to sight-in a weapon I will never use and getting sweaty and being messerible I got to lay on my cot and read. So I finished my book today! I know I'm a geek but I like the Star Wars books. Anyway I also got to go for hot lunch instead of an MRE. And that was pretty much my day. I is always nice to get out of sweaty crap but working in an office for eight hours will be nice to pass the time. It is funny how much I've changed since I got married. I use to be all for that stuff, now I'm for anything that will make my life better or easiler.
