Mister is off to benning beware Im rambling [View all]
His recruiter picked him up at 0315. The sgt has two more to pick up then to the meps center. Sarge is gonna treat the men to breakfast, I walked down at 0230 to him and his mothers home. Well I text first I just didn’t wanna show up. So we sat and talked and had coffee he will be fine. I could just not sleep drifting in and out not getting to the deep sleep. Getting dressed my wife asked it’s 0145 you going to gym planet fitness. No I told her I’m gonna see him off she wanted to know if I wanted her to come. I told her just stay in bed there will be enough tears from those two.
It was hard for mother and son to say goodbye. And walking home I can not help but think this is bad time to be going with idiot in office. This morning I told him you were a cross country runner and other day at the gym you beat me on the rope climb and pull ups at the YMCA. So physically your gonna be ok and you will get stronger. It is mostly mental and just get it in your mind that it will be over soon. Thirteen weeks will fly by fast.
The only regret I have from Osut training benning as I sit here over a coffee at 51 years old. Is not stopping a blanket party on a fellow trainee. He was at that time a fuck up and always causing mass platoon punishment. At 18 like 6 weeks in your getting aggressive and think you fellow trainee are a problem. I laid in my rack listening to him being beat gagged held down. After I caught a pcs like 2 years later from Bragg to west Germany. I ran into him he was in alpha and he was on chapter status. Why because he was slightly retarded and the army tested him then in west Germany . Then the army I heard through rumor mill found out that his recruiter had someone take his asvab. Ok I’m done rambling first day back to school for the boys I go to work tomorrow night.
