I didn’t train last night; instead I opted to do some house work. I have been neglecting my laundry for a while and really needed to get some done. I cleaned the kitchen, living room, and bathroom last night.
I have guard duty this weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Drills are typically very boring. Hurry up and wait is the name of the game. My section is very busy dispatching vehicles and running reports on Friday night and Saturday’s are usually slow. Sunday is the day for the mechanics to turn the vehicles back in and we get busy again at the end of the day. The mechanics usually will perform a variety of tasks during the weekend. They could do anything from change the oil to transmission work. They work on all the wheeled vehicles in the battalion. We are part of an aviation battalion, so there are not a ton of vehicles, but the ones that we do have, we take care of.
I am excited because I get my enlistment bonus in July or August. I’m trying to figure out what I should do with the money. One weekend, I will be traveling to Tampa, Fl for my buddy Brian who is getting married. I am pretty excited to go down there as I have never been. From what I understand, it is very beautiful year round. August may be a little hot, but that will not bother me too badly.
Of course, most of the money will be put into savings, but I do plan to do a few things. I’m going to get another tattoo at some point, and I would love to go to Vegas!
