So... Processing is almost exactly like RSP (Recruit Sustainment Drill), just with a lot more standing and waiting. We had to buy some new running shoes, and it would normally take 2-3 days to break in my new shoes, oh not at processing, though. Try 2-3 hours. I believe between 4:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M., I sat for maybe one hour, otherwise I stood, marched, or did push ups. My stamina has definitely increased. We haven't been running yet, so I am curious to see how fast I can run a mile. Last time was 7 minutes and 8 seconds.

Tomorrow (Sunday, May 17), I will get to sleep in until 4:45 A.M.!! And... no fireguard, so I will sleep for nearly 8 hours... supposedly. Anything can happen. Things are going well! Next week I will be starting basic - then I will send you all my address.

Peace & love!
