What a Week!

Sorry for the eerie silence for you my avid readers, but it was quite a week. Let me recap:

Monday: 4 mile run with A Company
Tuesday: 5 mile road march (with 40 lbs. rucksack) that started at 2:00 a.m. That's right...no sleep on Monday. Followed by 8 hours of class on Suicide Prevention.
Wednesday: Following 12 hours of sleep ( 5 p.m. to 5 a.m.), it was back to class for 8 more hours.
Thursday: All day on the range as C Company goes through Rifle Qualification.
Friday: Meeting with the Brigade Chaplain and an afternoon nap.

Saturdays are usually full of just personal stuff: groceries, cleaning, hair-cuts, all that jazz. This week, it was spent sleeping because I knew today was gonna be full.

Today, I had two services, back-t0-back. A common occurrence back home, but a rarity here. Follow that with a trip out the the field where A Company is on their one-week Field Training Exercise (FTX). I was out there to give them a field service and let them know what religious support will be like in the field, namely, chaplains will be few and far between. It's just kinda the way it is.

So, that's what I've been doing. Maybe it doesn't look like as much as it felt like, but it's good to have this week over.
