Entry #1: 29 January 05

Here I am: Basic Training. I've seen the movies, heard the rumors, and like everyone else, I had a picture in my head of what it was like. So far I have to say it's not too bad. Stress, not TOO bad. Sure it sucks. I'm tired, lonely, very restricted. It's definitely a huge life change. I got so used to the simple freedoms of driving to the store, watching a movie, or seeing a loved one. Getting used to losing freedoms to help secure freedoms is the single hardest part of this journey. Drill Sergeants yell, we push non stop, EVERYONE is an idiot and it ALWAYS fucks my deal up. All that and everything else combined is easy as compared to losing those freedoms. I've been so depressed and anxious because of that factor alone. But I'm not alone.

Every man here, well most of them, have a wife or a kid or a lifestyle that they put on hold to be here. It's heartbreaking to hear some of the guys' stories or reasons for being here. Every person you ask "why are you here?" has a different full list of reasons, "money for school, skills for a job, my father/brother served, I wanted to learn something new, I had nothing better to do." Every person will also say "for my country."

All those freedoms we all gave up would never be enjoyed if there weren't 2 centuries of people giving up their freedoms to fight. Because of my job I won't be really "fighting" as in the front lines but we need so much more than just the front line, and that's why I'm here, to offer my strength which is the muscle in my jead. Everyone here had a strength they will employ here. Basic training thought, builds all of our strengths in the fundamentals of being a soldier.

Fundamentals like physical capabilities, ability to comprehend/follow orders, and the ability to shoot. The physical aspects: I'm running with the top of the class so to speak and isn't a big problem. They say the only thing you need to succeed is to listen to the drill sergeants (DS). So far it seems to be absolutely true. They say "do this" and you do it. Sure they yell at you and mess you all up, but so what? It's just pressure and pressure turns coal into diamonds.

So over all I feel very confident I will succeed with little worry. The people back home writing me will help make time fly and remind me why I'm doing this. I'm very excited to learn and see new things that I will put in this journal to share with everyone. If my stories convince anyone else to join, just put me as a reference. Remember Thrad, if you join with a degree, you start out as an E-4 specialist. Think about it. Hope to hear from everyone soon.
