Final Drill

First day of my final drill before basic was today. I scored my highest PT scores yet, weighed in heavier than I did last month, and instead of freezing to death this month I walked away with a bright red sunburn. Definitely wearing sunscreen tomorrow. It wasn't all that different from last month's drill. There was still a lot of running around the armory with our fake weaponry, bolting down cold MRE's for chow, and somewhere towards the mid-afternoon everybody seems funnier the more and more tired I get. People that were stupid and corny in the morning are really kind of amusing by the end of the day.

I also think that it's worth noting that I did carry a man on my shoulders today. Now, granted it was a man who is only slightly heavier than myself, and it was for a relatively short distance, and I did express quite a bit of uncertainty as to my abilities when the cadet first proposed the idea, but he insisted that I attempt it. As it turns out I can actually heft a small man up on my shoulders and pack him around a bush and back to the squad. It's not something I want to do every day.
