It dawned on me that someday I may want to remember the actual events that happened here and not just use the old blog for inspired impressions. So...
Today started well as I was chosen to attend a breakfast with OCS graduates who were being inducted into the OCS Hall of Fame. We were supposed to mingle and get to hear their war tales. Sadly, only one veteran showed up. Happily, I still got to eat a leisurely breakfast with coffee!! Than it was off to a team obstacle course where we tooks turns in crazy problem solving involving boards, ropes, and moving people over water. I contributed least to my team but am glad I have a really strong team. Took a test over Call for Fire (how to order an antillery team to bring in the big guns). Then I freaked out about the fact that squads do peer evaluations this weekend, and I could get lowest rated because the guys in my squad all went to basic together and are best battles. Sought guidance from my infantry friend who said I'm not weird enough to be worried about ratings. He did confirm my suspicions that leadership is practicing social darwinism and trying to push hard enough on running, sprints, and rucking to shake out people with any possible physical weakness or injury. 5 females have gotten kicked out in the last 48 hours. I just was informed I get my first go at leadership next week as team leader. 2nd platoon-- get ready to feel the love. The counselor is taking over!
