So it's graduation in 4 weeks.  Time is really flying.  We've been doing BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship) the past two weeks, and I've done really well.  Today we did a practice qualification and I passed, so I'm sure I'll qualify tomorrow.  It's not hard, but I'm having some trouble hitting the far targets.  That won't stop me from qualifying, but I won't be an expert  There's 3 levels of qualifying: marksman, sharpshooter, and expert.  I'm shooting for sharpshooter (ha ha).

Things have gotten tougher.  They've started cracking down on all the little things they let us get away with earlier.  The other day, we had to keep getting into and out of bed, making it each time and then changing our uniforms.  I'm an expert bed maker now.  We've been CAPEd for talking in formation, and for other small things.  On Sunday, we had to do a police call around the barracks, picking up garbage, sticks, and leaves.  We had almost no free time.

There's a PT test on Saturday, Free Day Away on Sunday, and the next FTX sometime next week.  Things are really moving fast.  All I really need when you come to my graduation is my CD's.  Everything else I can get later.  OK, lights out in 2 minutes.
