This week had to be one of the longest weeks I've had since I've been in the Army. I didn't post last week because it was a pretty slow week and we really didn't have much going on. However this week was the opposite, as I said in the the last post we have new people on some of our teams, but only two teams have a new team chief, and those teams have to certify on the equipment all over again. This week was basically just getting familiar with working together as a team and next week we will do it for time. We worked until 9pm almost everyday this week and next week will be the same. The week after that we will head out to the field for a week of even more training.
Our First Sergeant returned from the PDSS (Pre Deployment Site Survey) and told that the location we are goin to is one of the more built up locations, and will have some ammenties. All I really want is access to a shower and the ability to use internet. I've always had a I'll believe it when I see it type of attitude when it comes to alot of things in this unit because they tell us one thing and it turns out to be something totally different. So we will see when we get there.
As you can see in the picture the my personal box is pretty full I have everything from toothbrushes to beef jerky in there. I tried to pack everything I could think of that would make for a more comfortable deployment. Im sure most of it will run quite fast, so hopefully the location we go to will have a PX so I can buy what I need.
Things are getting more and more serious here, and at the same time more stressful I'm just trying to keep my head up and get through it. I read somewhere this week that "If God brought you to it he will bring you through it" and even though I had heard that before it came right at the perfect timing. I know I just gotta keep my nose out the sky, keep my heart to God and keep my face to the risin' sun. Everything we will okay. God Bless
