Down day

Today was a down day as far as training goes. I had homework to do about the Afghanistan culture so that kept me busy for most of the day. And I didn't have Jill to watch the race with, so I didn't even bother trying to get it on our tv in the day room. My Army classmate helped me set up my vest and holster so when we get into field conditions I will be comfortable with my gear set up. After that my buddy Steve and my lieutenant and I put on our IBA and went for a walk to get used to it. We are going to start doing PT in it this week. It adds about 40 lbs to your weight and it is hard to ignore. It's going to be our best friend for 6 months. We finished up our night with a team meeting. I really like our team and I'm hoping we stay together. I know it's a long shot, but it would be nice to work with the people you train with. Tomorrow it's back to school. I hope it doesn't snow.
