I'm in Hawaii now... yay! I don't post here as often anymore so go to my myspace account (www.myspace.com) since I tend to do more on that nowadays. Just look up user "die_zimtzicke" or use my email address (r_bastet@hotmail.com) to find me.

Long long day today. This morning I had absolutely no ambition whatsoever, which was compounded by the fact that we got screamed at by 2 drill sgts for not sounding off or responding fast enough. I'm just so tired of getting in trouble when other people fuck up. I need to get the hell out of TRADOC ( Read more... )

Ok, so we had convoy live fire tonight. Fine, whatever. Of course, it would have been nice to know we wouldn't be going back to the barracks so I could use the latrine. The guys used bushes on the side of the parking lot, but me not so much. So I kept a tampon in for 2 hours longer than I should have. What's a little TSS? Ha, genital health ( Read more... )

Ok, so maybe I shouldn't bitch about it since I don't pay for my own meals or housing (unless you count taxes, which I suppose would be indirect payment) but how hard is it to keep essentials like toilet paper and cleaning supplies in stock ( Read more... )

Instead we had to fill out some stupid survey about how the army treats us. "Like shit." Wow, that didn't even take half an hour. That was worth missing my run. Oiy. It's not like they're gonna change anything. The fact that I said yes to all the questions asking if/how/why I'd been sexually harrassed since joining aren't gonna make anyone stop ( Read more... )

Don't ask me how I did it but I start tomorrow! That means I should be out of AZ by sometime in September, God willing. I just got my projected orders for my duty station and I'm going to Hawaii! A guy I came here with just got his orders and is going to hawaii, deploying to Iraq for 2 months, then going to Ft Lewis in WA, which is where I want ( Read more... )

ok, so now nobody's getting into the next class. Ha. That's MI for you. Sucks to be the guy who got here at 2 am my last night of CQ this week. He was a little confused that he wasn't getting into class. I had to laugh, even though I felt sad for him ( Read more... )

So I'm not getting into class. Hooah for spending a year in TRADOC. If they'd let me have my language training, I could be doing something useful with my time (and their money) while I'm waiting. Oh well. As long as I don't have to move I'll be happy ( Read more... )

The army chaplain's idea of psychology. Um, yeah. Kinda figured that. Basically, his advice for my depression was more church and I'd get over when I get into class. If I get into class. If I don't, I'm supposed to come back for more advice. *sigh* Granted, he's not a trained psychologist, but he told me I was just homesick and I shouldn't ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm feeling a little better this morning. Despite the fact that I didn't sleep at all last night and had not one, but three hardcore crying jags before midnight. My roommate gets off extra duty at midnight and I hate crying in front of people so I basically just held my breath and stared at the ceiling whenever I felt the urge to cry after ( Read more... )
