Day 6: We have PT every morning at 0600. It's not a bad workout. It feels good to be able to exercise again. We had to sit through more classes today about warfare.
Day 7: I can't believe that I have been at BCT for a week. I didn't get much sleep last night since I had fire guard duty at the CQ desk from 1200 to 0200 but ended up staying an extra hour since the next shift overslept. After chow, we had the option to attend a neutral church orientation service. I ended up leaving after 10 minutes because I felt so uncomfortable. I am glad I ended up leaving because I was able to finish up organizing my locker and sneak an hour nap in the laundry room. Today was an easy day. We learned how to take our weapon apart and put it back together. We also had a course on land navigation. It was nice to be able to get back to the barracks at 1500 but apparently a crazy girl who just got out of anger management was placed in our barracks because she was bullying females in her platoon. I had to move all my stuff in my locker so she can be carefully monitored.
Day 8: I was actually able to get 7 hours of sleep last night. Instead of Pt, we headed to the team development course. It was a lot of fun. It consisted of 5 different activities where we had to use teamwork to accomplish the missions. On the last obstacle, we had to maneuver on a wire upside down via our hands while wrapping our legs around the wire. My legs are all bruised up now. After spending 7 hours at the obstacle course, we went back to the platoon classrooms to study.
I have noticed a change in my platoon. We are becoming a team. However, today it seemed like I heard "front leaning rest position, MOVE!" quite a bit. I have noticed that my arms are leaner from all the pushups we have done. We also had to be in the squat position for 30 minutes.
Our DS's aren't that bad compared to other platoons. As my DS said "don't mistake kindness for weakness." We are getting smoked for stuff like not calling "at ease" when a DS walks in.
