Day 35 - Team Leader

Rained in the morning, so we did PT in the bay. ("Clear yourselves some real estate...") DS A promoted me to team leader, which made me feel proud, but I feel bad because it came at my bunkmate's expense...

Went to the range for more BRM, and ate breakfast there. French toast, grits, eggs, 2 slices of white bread, tater tots, an orange, and orange juice. No cereal today... Strange. As team leader I get in line behind my guys, but it was OK - I still finished.

I did badly in the first round, almost as badly the second round -- 13/40. As a result, I wasn't allowed to buy a Powerbar or Gatorade from the truck that came by. In the afternoon, the weather cleared up, which was nice, but we had to wait in the hot sun for our transportation to show up.

For lunch I had MRE #18 - Chili Mac. Pretty good - it comes with a molasses cookie, wehat snack bread with jalapeno cheese spead, and Skittles. French vanilla capuccino drink (sucks).

I noticed the dark lettering inside my wedding ring has started to lose its clarity, so I decided not to wear it on my ID tag band for the time being.

We came back to the bay and did weapons cleaning. Not a lot of time, but at least I'm not on fireguard. For dinner, I had baked fish, rice, corn, a roll with peanut butter, salad, a pickle spear, two glasses of water, and milk. (I'm really getting good at eating quickly.)

A while back, one guy in our platoon had gotten frustrated with other people talking or moving around during formations, and yelled out, "Stop f***in' moving!" Well, one of the drill sergeants thought that was funny and had him repeat it for a short rap he did:

"When I roll up in the bay,"
"Stop f***in' moving!"
"When I'm in the CTA,"
"Stop f***in' moving!"
"When I come into the club,"
"Stop f***in' moving!"
"Gonna tell e-ver-y-one:"
"Stop f***in' moving!"

Kinda catchy...
