Graduating AIT Friday!!
12 years ago
General
So, after 9 months of being under the mighty thumb of TRADOC, keeping my nose clean, and being a good boy. I'm finally graduating AIT. It may not be what I signed up for. I may also have been forced into this MOS, but I already have an action plan for that.
But I will be a cook for the Army. Not glamorous, not too special, but at least I'm still a soldier. ^_^So, no complaints. I must say that as far as Virginia is concerned, I wouldn't mind coming back as long as I don't train anymore.
I also have been selected to go to HRAP (hometown recruiting) on top of 10 days leave. I'll be home on Fort Benning/Columbus for 24 days. The majority of which I will work with recruiters. But enough time to get a car and prepare for my next duty station in Fort Knox. I just hope that I can readjust quickly and get back to the way things were.
Take care y'all

~huskyfan5
I got here Friday night, I'm in temporary housing

OP
Lemme know what the permanent party housing is like, man. I won't be over till next month. :P There are a couple of people from my AIT who're there already.

~huskyfan5
Alright, I should be getting my permanent housing by the end of today, /should/, but who knows. I'm starting in-processing, which is just like reception, but we get to do a pt test :I

OP
Hopefully they have the mystical dorms that I miss from Fort Sam. I don't mind taking another PT test. I like that there's another fur already there. This is cool.
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
It is cool :3 I just got my unit patch too, the diamond looking one with the castle in the center of it :3 I'm in the 19th EN BN, 42nd, me and my 3 other battles just barely dodged a deployment to Kosovo xD

OP
Damn. That woulda sucked major. I have a few battles who're gonna go to Afghanistan soon. I was putzing around base yesterday where I'm from, more specifically, at the gym, and just as I predicted, I ran into a Drill Sergeant from my BCT. He didn't even recognize me. Said good morning and everything. I just thought it was funny how that prediction came to fruition.

~huskyfan5
Heh, well, I took my PT test today, the 2 mile course is around the gym block (btw the gym here is pretty high speed) and it's pretty easy, I maxed my 2 mile and sit ups (bairly passed minimum for push-ups, I suck at them). oh well, CIF tomorrow. Make sure you get a reflective PT belt, you need it to do any PT, you can get it at the shoppet or the clothing store.

Does color matter?
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
Naw, they don't matter what color it is, just that you have one
sandmancsg
~sandmancsg
OP
Yay!! PINK PT BELT!!! >:3
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
I would of loved one, but the shoppet nor the clothing store have one :c
sandmancsg
~sandmancsg
OP
Damn..... I wonder if te got em at te shoppettes where I live? I'm gonna look tomorrow or next week. Depends on what my schedule will allow.
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
If there are any, get me one, I'll pay you back :3

OP
I reckon that I could do that. Share the wealth. I hope they ain't against regulations though. I don't really see why they would care.
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
There are none, there are like 7 different colored ones at the PX, they don't care
sandmancsg
~sandmancsg
OP
7 colors and no pink. :/ What is this world coming to?
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
It's like, silver, white, green, green and white, orange, orange and white

Lameness....
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
Quite :I

Found a reflective belt on ebay. That's the only place lI saw one.
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
Dang, well, if it's the color you want, get it xD other wise I'd say get one here
sandmancsg
~sandmancsg
OP
Yeah. But it costs a little bit more than a regular one. I'll probably just pick one up at Fort Benning while I'm here.
Husky_fan5
~huskyfan5
Probably the best idea, other wise, just get one here
