Got up at 530am today, to be outside our decrepit old building at 6am to stretch. No exercise today. Just stretching. Had breakfast, showered, dressed, put on my 50 pounds of gear and walked a half mile to catch a 730 bus that would take us one mile to our 8am appointment.
We've been here for two weeks now, doing a whole bunch of nothing. But today sounded cool. We were gonna do some weapons training, using simulators that are essentially big arcade games. We were also gonna do some humvee training, learned how to escape from a rollover over using a big simulator that is essentially an amusement park ride. Should have been a day of good, fun training.
Problem was, about 200 people showed up for the same training. With three weapons simulators that accommodate 5 people at a time, and one rollover simulator that takes 5 people, we essentially spent 8 hours in line for about 1 hour of training. I get a better fun/ waiting ratio at Disneyland.
They didn't know we were coming? They couldn't have staggered us through here, bring small groups on different days? They didn't realize that putting 200 people, 5 at a time, through a 30 minute training would take a while? Don't they do math here?
Frustrating day.

This sounds like me. Who knew the army could teach you divatude?
