Holy Crap It's Been a While!

The school year is almost over already. Classes are winding down, and I am starting to think about moving out. The place that I have been staying in will not be available next year, so I have to make other arrangements. I am debating moving into a smaller place across the street, or moving into the dorms. I have decided to apply for a position as a resident advisor at the dorms, which would get me free housing and food for the school year.

I made it into the reserve unit I had been wanting to join. I have drilled with them twice so far. I went into the unit having been told it would be changing from a recon unit to a anti-terrorism unit. Turns out an anti-terrorism unit has recently been disbanded, so the future of the unit is uncertain. Right now my billet in the unit is "Recon Man." This means that I am part of a recon team and have been training as a Recon Marine.

This has been interesting, to say the least. The first drill I went to, we went to the field. I was wholly unprepared for the below zero temps, and thought I was going to freeze to death. Somehow I made it through, and gained a new appreciation for the cold. I will not underestimate the extreme cold of Alaska again.

I am sitting in my graphics class writing this, so I should probably get myself back to work. I'll be more regular now, especially once school ends and I am back at work.
