18 hour days...

These 18 hour days are getting old very quickly. But I really can't complain too much, it could be much much worse. It has cooled down a bit, but with that came some humidity. I like the 103 degree dry heat much more than the 96 degree humid heat! We are still having a lot of in-processing nightmares. There is a ton of paperwork and redoing paperwork. Kinda frustrating but hey I am getting paid to fill out papers. The first half of our Company took the APFT today. A lot failed, they mostly said they just couldn't breathe during the run because of the heat and humidity. I am sure I will have this same problem but hopefully I can push through it. The Cadre (instructors) said they expect over 1/3 of us not to pass... thanks for the confidence Cadre. We had a lot of classroom time today. A lot of military stuff like leadership, authority, making and receiving opords and opplans (operation orders and operation plans) It isn't too bad but it is a lil harder for us who are not prior service. There are TONS of acronyms to learn. Everything is a three letter abbreviation or some form of short hand. It takes a while to get used to all of them, and you have to constantly pay attention because it is literally like a foriegn language sometimes. This is all for now, gotta get some sleep because my APFT is bright and early (actually its not very bright at 4am!)
