Home Stretch

heh, a fitting title :P for i am indeed on a home stretch, and it's gonna be a tough one.

first up, another PT test, company wide. Passing this test will give me my Specialist, and I've gotta do my best and hardest, i want to go home that rank, and have a family photo and a special photo of me and one of my Aunts, who's in Maine's National Guard, she's suppose to be a SGT but they haven't pinned her because an actual slot hasn't opened up.

When the PT Test actually lands, I'm not sure, it's either the 13th or the 14th; if the 13th then i have a day to prepare for the second obstacle of the week, if the 14th, it's the same day.

the second obstacle is the Gas Chamber. i haven't been in one since Basic, and in basic i nearly panicked because the C2 they used choked me up and i couldn't tell if i sealed the mask right or not because it stung to breathe. it won't be as bad as the PT test, but something that I'm not really thrilled to do.

after that, i get up reallly early on Sat morning, sign out, and get my roommate to get me to Austin so i can head home, I'll be back in Maine about 3pm, i soooooooooo cannot wait. the cats miss me, as i posted a video of me bowling away, my parents told me one of the cats, Fluffy, kept looking at the computer looking for me. of course Fluffy and Pepper both know me well, i was the guardian that looked after them in my room when they were young kits, and i became one of their humans as they got older. my parents recently acquired another cat, George he's called, a friendly cat, I've met him before, and he's a youngin compared to the ladies.

and I've already planed with the family that we are all gonna go bowling when I'm home.

first, get through the week...
yikes
