finally, the long awaited first bookout. don't worry, i'm still alive and kicking after 17days on the island, the training is still manageable so far.

the army is the place where i observe and learn about human behavior and character. there are those that screw themselves up and bring the others down with them, those that are always lost and cannot follow instructions, and those that are just socially awkward. some that don't think before they shoot, some think too much and others don't understand.

it's always good to be optimistic and think ahead. 7 weeks to POP. it will be come fast.
