Whelp, after going through hassles for over a year now I finally am leaving for Basic Training. It will last approximately 8 and a half weeks, in San Antonio, Texas. After that I will get a small break and then it will be over to Monterey, California for 18 months of language school.

This is gonna suck, I don't want to be without internet for 2 months. Internet is a pretty entertaining thing toi have.

Whelp, here's to getting yelled at for 8 weeks. I leave early tommorrow. Merry Christmas everyone! Wheeee.

Noes :< 2 months is way to much. Then again everything else will sound super easy in comparison to not having internet for that long. I will miss you buddy; you once PM:ed me "Lol" after one of my posts, we are pretty much brothers.

Are you going to the Defense Language Institute? The course of study there is ridiculously intense, but it's the best you're going to get. What language, out of curiosity?

Best of luck to you!

Good bye my dear friend I met a second ago, I mourn for you and hope you make swift return to the InterWebZ.
Starcraft is a way of life. Playing it disciplines the mind and trains the soul. I think.

Monterey is about 100 minutes south of where I live, so maybe we'll get a beer somewhere when you're stationed over here

Also, mandarin is pretty cool. (been learning it for about a year now)

I went through last year, starting Dec 28th. It's pretty terrible, but I knew what I was getting into when I went in. When I say terrible, I mean it is just a whole lot of bullshit that I didn't want to have to deal with. I got Dorm Chief on the first day and I have to say I enjoyed it, at least more than I would've had I not been in charge. Nobody fucked with me and I got to tell everyone what to do, but it also felt like 24/7 babysitting. When shit went bad, I got yelled at, but that rarely happened and I didn't give a shit because I knew that no one else could do as good of a job. For me, it made it a rewarding experience and we ended up doing really well. So, if you have some leadership ability, don't be afraid to step up to the plate and become an element leader or maybe dorm chief. It's better than being the Latrine Queen and it'll give you some leadership experience. There are a lot of fuck-ups (and I was in a special operations flight), so get used to it. The MTIs have this culture where they think they're all big and bad, but they're a bunch of incompetent idiots that feel mighty important because they can yell loud. It's really not hard, so don't ever let it get to you. Don't become a big cry baby that has been away from home for the first time and you are being told what to do all the time. When you come out, you'll appreciate your family/friends and regular life way more.

If you have some questions about what to take or anything really, let me know. Good luck Trainee!
