I'm doing 9 things
Well we’re all settled into our CHU’s (compartmentalized housing units) It’s basically a 8×8 box that I share with one other dude. Got a tv and my xbox set up. I have internet but it’s slow and expensive but it beats taking a bus to the MWR everyday. Anyhow we’re not doing much right now, waiting for the ball to get rolling. 1 month almost down, 11 more to go.

How I did it
It made me
buzzed 
How I did it: Whenever I went out to bars or wanted to buy beer I would try to sample something that I had never tried before. I also had a couple samplers with multiple beers. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I drove home on leave before I deploy. My first stop was in northern CA to visit my Dad, some relatives, and a good friend. Then I did the same in southern CA. Read how I did it…
It made me
tired 
How I did it: Well, we trained for two hours every morning for two weeks. The concepts and positions are easy to learn, you just got to practice by fighting with other guys (in your class preferably). We would "roll" for almost a hour and it is exhausting. You will get a great workout and will be very sore and hurting. But in the end you'll have the basic skills to handle yourself in hand to hand combat. Read how I did it…

Well in a month and a half I’m going home for 3 weeks before I deploy to Iraq. We’re going to be pretty busy up until then so hopefully the time in between will pass quickly. I look foward to spending time with my family and friends one last time before I go.
