I graduated!

I’m at tech school right now, on a pay-per-minute computer so I need to make this quick. I just want to say thanks to my family and Lawrence and Cookie for coming all the way down to San Antonio to visit me for my BMT graduation. I truly, truly appreciate all the effort and expense you put yourself through for me.

Like I said, I’m now in Mississippi and it’s kinda weird… chow hall isn’t such a blur, no more “sit, eat, get out”, girls eat with and mingle with guys, and the training instructors are really relaxed about things. I am currently in Phase I of my tech school, which means that for 30 days (not counting the 2 weeks of leave I have coming up) I am pretty restricted as far as personal freedoms. I can’t own a TV, can’t have a computer or anything else sitting on my desktop, etc. But I can walk around the base in between classes and curfew. And no Reville!!! I can sleep until 0800 tomorrow morning if I wanted to… but I won’t. I’m gonna try to keep my current schedule of waking up early and being productive.

Anyway, that’s all the time I have now. I’m gonna look at some news sites before my time is up here, so ciao.
