I entitled this segment “Dis-orientation” because that’s what today was all about. I thought joining the Army was a lot of paperwork; Uncle Sam has nothing on CR England. There were a least 50 documents to fill out and sign. And just when you thought it was over, they brought out more. Drug tests, physicals, integrity tests, and eye tests were given throughout the 9 hour paperwork nightmare.
I hardly slept last night and had to get up at 4am. I set my phone alarm, my alarm clock and asked for a wakeup call. But none of that was necessary as I woke up about every half hour.
4:30am I had my first cup of coffee down and came back to my room to clean up.
5:15am Down stairs to wait for the bus,
5:30am Board bus and head out to training.
6:15am Arrive at training location for brief orientation before paperwork mayhem.
3:15pm Board bus and come back to hotel
Well, I'm going to go hit the jacuzzi (sure glad my wife suggested I bring swim trunks, thanks Hun). One thing is for sure, I won’t have any problems sleeping tonight.
P.S. My roommate is still A.W.O.L. maybe I'll get to keep the room to myself. I am saying nothing to anyone here!!!!
