Today is training day 25 as I write this to you guys. Initial Drill was this morning at around 0715. We went before 4018 and man I thought they did so much better than us, but we won. Only by a point though and we weren't screwing up the hard parts, those we did great with, it was the simple movements like "open rank" and we all put our arms up, aligned, then shot our arms down without waiting for the command. I really thought we did bad but now we have the Initial Drill trophy sitting in the middle of our motivation table, and we now carry the series flag as well as our guidon. We have a new drill instructor along with Drill Instructors Sgt Dunn and Sgt Gaddis. Her name is Sgt Moffit. She leaves you alone when you're quick to do as you're ordered and yell so yeah, surprisingly I'm not one of the few people she picks on for that. My issue is my emotional bearing. I would really like advice on this. You know how my temper is, red-faced, shaky, & then tears which is starting to frustrate me beyond belief. So how can I make myself stop crying/ I just really need help with bearing because I stink at it. We also had our initial written exam today. I can remember ? 50, where is the 2nd Marine Air Wing? Cherry Point, NC, and ? a dropped body temp, slurred speech, and low or no heat are symptoms of what? The answers were hypothermia, hyperthermia, & hippothermia. I thought it was funny. I'm pretty sure I missed 2 questions, but I own't know until you probably get this, I just know I passed. The gas chamber's tomorrow, that should be fun. The voice in my head & gut say "stay calm, keep your eyes closed, and ignore the screaming. It will all be over soon." Man I'm going to feel sorry for the bus driver though, he's going to get a whiff and that'll be a fun ride back to the squad bay. I think that's it for now, I'll write tomorrow too & tell you about it.
Love
Bizzy
