Training's a Whirlwind... Literally

::Whew:: This AT is flying by.

I couldn't believe it was already Monday today. We've got practicals all week... then we're done. Then its home to weather that makes sense to me... though im kinda getting into the swing of this desert thing.

But God, its windy here... and wind + sand = ouch. Sandstorms are definitely a new experience, and we're supposed to have them for the next like 36 hours. It certainly makes things interesting. Your visibility is cut down to just a few feet in front of you, and the sand particles pelt your skin and leave it raw. Not so much fun.

I happily survived OC... and was told by all the training NCOs that I was the most motivated person they'd ever seen go through the OC course. I guess I smiled when they sprayed me, and went through the task course without incident. I was also told that I was still smiling while I was getting deconned... and doing my happy dance all over the place. Why? Because I love this shit :)

So... AT is fun. Im loving it. Tomorrow is STX running the detention facility... looking forward to it :)
