The course has been pretty awesome these four? weeks. Just finished our lineman week, those staff are pretty amazing.
So far on course:
Climbed 70ft pole
Completed the PC (test) for mast setups
Did a week of crypto
Did a week of VP (voice procedures)
Got off indoc early
Had 3 full weekends
It’s been pretty good here, not goona lie. Learning about the four trades has been really valuable. With line week over I don’t think that one is going to move up my choices very much, the lack of career advancement isn’t offset by the job environment. Being a rad op sounds like a good time as long as I stay driven.
Lots of cool people on this course, not too many interpersonal problems but no course is perfect, and no one chooses their roommates either so that’s always fun.
The field exercise is going to be the most interesting portion, I think we’re 25 ish days away from that, and I don’t know who will be in my det either but I have a few hopes.
There were a few guys on the course ahead of us and they failed off their course so I think we’ll probably see them for at least our field portion, but no guarantees.
Been talking very very infrequently with people from back home, created a Christianmingle account but I obviously know how mobile an army lifestyle is so not too optimistic there.
Basically let’s see how my communication skills are and we’ll learn from there. Online dating can’t be that hard right?
That’s all for now.
