I'm departing in the morning. My course ends on August 19th. There are 26 training days scheduled officially, so there's a chance I might get a day off here or there, but I'm not gonna count on it. That sort of thing depends on how the candidates perform, and how the staff are feeling. I know we've got a couple of real idiots going on this one. I'll be three hours away from home, so we'll see if I can pop in or not.

This is going to be more challenging than anything I've done before. In fact, I think it's the biggest challenge I'll have in training until I attempt to become a master corporal. I'll be fine, though. I'm resilient. I've been sore and sick and sleep-deprived before, and continued on regardless.

It'll be rewarding.

When I get home, I'll have a dress uniform with a marksmanship badge sewn on it, my unit's cap badge, and a promotion waiting for me. Plus, despite the suck, I always come back from these things with some funny stories.

I'll see you guys and girls when I see you. Thank you, everyone, for your support. ♥
