Bah, charge of quarters duty tonight from 0000-0200, this is the third night in a row that I've had some kind of duty and had to get up at an odd hour of the night. My summer boots are still damp from when I tried to clean them, so I'm rolling in my winters at the moment. Might as well write down some thoughts while I still can.
I know BCT has been quite the experience, but sometimes (especially in recent days) I wonder if I've improved as a person and/or how much I've changed as a result of going through the experiences I have. I think I've gotten stronger, I can't really tell. I've definitely learned a lot, I guess the question is how much I'm going to be able to retain and apply besides the four words "safe back down move". I've definitely learned a lot more about myself and how I work, but will I be able to improve on my deficiencies? Hmmm.
The hook "sometimes goodbye is a second chance" has been on my mind quite frequently - I wonder if it really holds true.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's fate, but it's mildly interesting that when I was six years old, I dressed up as GI Joe for Halloween... look where I am now, and the GI Joe movie is coming out at the same time. I wonder if mom still has pictures of me in my camouflaged vest she sewed me back then.
