It's a super sunny and hot Monday here in P-Cola. I can't complain though because I spent all day Saturday at an amazingly beautiful beach. I'm experiencing the kind of feeling that just hits you once in a while like "I can't believe this is my life." It's a bit surreal but I am loving it so far. I did get pretty burnt at the beach on Sat, so much so that I couldn't return on Sunday. The sun here is a bit different from the MN sun.... a bit stronger, who would have thought. It won't keep me away for long though!!!! I fully intend to utilize that beach as much as I can.
Not a whole lot is new here though. I am slowly learning the way around here, and can't wait until I get a car. The cab fares are killing all of us! Also this weekend I should be on phase 3 liberty which means I can leave base for the whole weekend! Yeah! Now on the weekends I have to be back by 11:30 pm and on weekdays 9:30. It's not so bad, but it would be nice not to have to muster all the time. (Being in uniform at these times for inspection and attendance.) On a good inspection note, I got and outstanding on my room inspection (for those who know me well this is a great accomplishment!)
We've been doing PT on a regular basis here at the rediculous time of 4:45 am. I somehow can't seem to be awake enough at that time. Anyway I have been running with the boys... (a group of at least 30 boys and 3 girls) It makes me feel good that I am fast enough to be in the "fast," group. On Friday we had to run our fitness test, a mile and half run, push ups and situps... I did my run in 11:20 so I was pretty proud of myself... my goal is under 11 minutes. We shall see, after all I am getting pretty old now. Almost 24 :-o
Well off to muster.... peace
Ashley
