Fun at work

So I actually enjoy going to work. I finally found a job that I love to do. Right now I am just a gate guard basically, until I can get patrol man qualified. But standing post is fun, I have to check ID's and make sure the people coming on base are suppose to be here. I have the power to not let you on base, hehe. Article 7B of the UCMJ says I have the authority no matter what your rank is to take you into custody, how cool is that! Being a cop is so freaking awesome, why didnt I do this job earlier! Im going out on the town later so ill try to remember to bring my camra this time and take some pictures, sence im not suppose to take pics on base.

First day of "work".

So today was the first day that I actually went to a post and stood a post. First tho they took us around and showed us the post. I saw all but one, post 11. One of the post is like 45 mins from base! Thats crazy! We have 19 posts that have to be manned. So I stood post 9 for a few hours then rode around in a patrol and just did rounds. Thats about it!

Time for an update!

Time for an update! Lets see, I passed my weapons board on Monday and now I am in training. Its just as boring here :(. I havent been sleeping well the past week so hopefully I can get some good rest tonight. I ran 2.5 miles this morning and we have to go to the gym tomorrow for mandatory PT. I ordered my MA manual today, MA1 Diaz showed me where I can get my manual for free. Those things normally are like 80 bucks! I cant wait to get my manual and actually learn how to be a real MA! I wish I actually had my GOV license, cuz then I actually would have been able to drive the Go cart home for lunch today! My next JQR (job qualification requirement) is the learn sentry. Its about a 15 page packet so I should have it done in a few days. Well thats all I got now. Talk to you all again soon!

Shooting

We got to shoot the 9mm today. And that was fun, finally something to do lol. I shot expert again. The highest score is a 240 and I shot a 232. In A school I shot a 231 so I got 1 point better, yay! And today was my last day of work for 4 days, Im off until monday witch is awesome! Get to watch the Rosebowl and the Outdoor Classic on friday, freaking sweet! The Outdoor Classic for those of you who dont know is the NHL game that they play outside. This year it is Detroit Redwings and Chicago Blackhawks and the game is being played and Wrigley Feild, where the Cubs play. Well thats the update for now!

Update

Hey everybody, I know Im slacking a little bit on the updates but there isnt much to write about. Im working on my weapons PQS so that way I can actually carry my fire arm around lol. We carry 9mm Barreta's. So I have to get my quals done for that, the shotgun and also the M16. They wont let us shoot the M4, dunno why. I got my cammies today witch was cool. I cant wair them yet cuz I have to get them pressed and I have to go buy my combat boots. So I have to take my uniforms to the cleaners tomorrow to get that done and hopefully they will be done by Monday cuz of holiday stand down. Um dont know what else to post so Ill try and keep this more updated.

Christmas

So today is Christmas for me, kinda sucks caus its the first one away from my family. Im a little sad but Ive got some friends here that I can be with so I wont be lonely. They have a Christmas dinner tonight that I will probably go to. Other than that Im going to be in training for a little while so right now I am working on getting my quals done for all my weapons. I have to go field strip all the guns and clean them and then put them back together. Then after I do all that I actually get to go shoot them, yay! Um I went grocery shopping yesterday, that was fun. I should have bought enough food to last me at least two weeks, we will see! Okay well nothing else to put down so I guess I will go now, buh bye! O ya, here are some pics of my fridge and room.
