T-Rex got promoted today.

He’s no longer a Private. I think he deserves the rank of Specialist. It’s about time. He’s been waiting a while for it. I didn’t think he needed to be a Private First Class anyway. Some of the other Joes got promoted today as well. That’s good. It’s kind of funny because this morning when the Lieutenant told us that we were going to have a formation we asked if it was bad news or good news. He lied and told us that it was bad. A few of the guys got promoted in the company. That’s a good thing. All of them were deserved. I hate it when someone gets promoted when they don’t deserve it. It happens a lot in the Army.

Today was pretty easy. I expected a long day but it turned out in our favor. We only did one mission today. We had the rest of the day to stay on standby. So I guess the only problem with it was waking up early in the morning. I’ve already gotten used to it. At least it’s not cold in the morning anymore. The days here are pretty nice. This is the perfect time of year to be here.

I finally went to the gym. It’s the third time this week. I hope I could keep this up. It’s also helped me change my eating habits. Instead of eating like a pig I’m eating healthier foods.

I’ll try to post some more photos on the website. I’ve been having problems, mainly from the really slow internet service over here. They’ve been installing a tower and I’ve heard it’s for the internet upgrade they’re doing on our camp. I hope it’s done soon.
