Military Bearing

It would seem that my company here is riddled with issues. A lot of people told me when I first got here that my 1st Sgt is a jerk, but so far that has not been my experience at all. In fact, I feel pretty confident that he'll do everything he can to keep working on things until all the little issues around here have been resolved. In the meantime we were getting ready for formation the other day when two of the platoon Sgts became involved in a verbal altercation and a third had to step in and physically restrain one of them from throwing a punch.

It was the most interesting thing that has happened since I got here. I almost wished that actual punches had been thrown, just for my own personal entertainment. Unfortunately it was all over very quickly and then I was rushed off to another boring detail assignment.

Fortunately 1st Sgt has said that he thinks he may be able to get us started on some early classes next week. I pray that he makes it happen. I hate these never ending details. I spent all day pulling weeds today. ALL DAY, but tomorrow they're letting me go with the LDS chaplain to the temple in Mesa. I can't wait, they're actually going to let me out in public!
