Training Still:
We did 30/60's again, but more sprinting. Mike says we need to work on these to build different types of muscles in my legs (I think that is what he said:) ). Anyway, these seemed harder than the 12 minute run.
Tonight I taught myself the Soldiers Codes and General Orders
Soldier Code I:
I am an American Soldier - a protector of the greatest nation on earth - sworn to uphold the constituion of the United States.
Soldier Code II:
I will treat others with dignity and respect and expect others to do the same.
Soldier Code III:
I will honor my country, the Army, my unit and my fellow soldiers by living the Army values.
Soldier Code IV:
No matter what situation I am in I will never do anything for pleasure, profit or personal safety which will disgrace my uniform, my unit or my country.
Soldier Code V:
Lastly, I am proud of my country and its flag. I want to look back one day and say I am proud to have served my country as a soldier.
General Orders I:
I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
General Orders II:
I will obey my special orders and perform all of my duties in a military manner.
General Orders III:
I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies and anything not covered in my instructions to the Commander in Relief.
Oh yeah, we had to go to Sgt. P's to drop off more paperwork that he forgot to request from me. Of course he does not make any effort to accomodate us and our having to drive all around Central Indiana for this. He is now trying to get me to change my MOS. See originally I wanted 92M (Mortuary Affairs) and he wouldn't pull the job for me and pushed me towards a list of critical MOS's. I found 92G (Food Services) on the list and since I have been complaining about how I never went to Culinary School (which I should have) I decided to do that. Well, Mike, Jasper and I talked about it and decided on that. Anyway, Sgt. P is working for himself and not me and trying to get me to do what benefits him (they have a new list of criticals and he wants me to do 14J, 14T and other stuff) that he benefits from. I'm not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent!!! (ha,ha).
September 25, 2006, Monday:
Today we ran for 12 minutes straight. Yea, I did it. I want to know that I can run 2 miles though. My push-ups are weakening. Oh yeah, Friday, while I was visiting my brother at BSU, Mike bought me two books on the military. He is so supportive!!!!
September 15, 2006, Friday:
So today I ran 1 mile in 10 minutes and 10 seconds. Which is great because to ship out now they do a ship test and for a female my age (26) I have to do 3 push-ups, 17 sit-ups and run 1 mile in 10 minutes and 30 seconds or less. Of course my great recruiter Sgt. P said in under 11 minutes so I was happy today thinking I was almost a minute under. I later found out it is 10:30. Now we run 10 minutes straight, no more 30/60's or 4/2's. I am actually running. See you have to work up to the ability to run. I did it in like 3 to 4 weeks. I am also down to 167 lb. I broke the 170 lb. mark on Friday September 22, 2006.
