Episode I: Before The Storm (Part IV-II: The Preparation)

"Humans are among the most logical known creatures this universe has see, as far as anyone knows. Being so, they are also the most unanimously-illogical beings across the span of the entire universe."

Okay, so for once, I am doing absolutely nothing but enjoying my day at home, eating. No PT, no forms to fill out, nothing.

Just how I thought I liked it.

Recently, since I'd really been getting into this "Joining The Military" thing, I'd been getting used to being more active-- waking up at 0350 hours (3:50 am, civilian time) every day, going out and doing a 1.2 mile run around my neighborhood, coming back maybe sometime later and doing 35+ push-ups, and 40+ sit-ups, then running through my Rank Structure (Study booklet for the Structure of ranks, Private, Private 1st Class, .etc). So, now that I am in chill-mode, I have way too much energy to sit still, and I'm also too used to being busy to consider doing something as miniscule as walking around the house idly, therefore I decide to pick up my study book, and do something, once again, that I don't normally do;

--Study.

This time, I re-taught myself the 8 Army Values;

Leadership, Duty, Respect, Self-less Service, Honour (Yes, I do spell it with a "U", simply out of habit), Integrity, & Personal Courage.

As well as brush up on my general orders, which I can't be too sure I can post, therefore I won't.

At any rate, with luck, I should have these things perfectly memorized by the end of today, and get myself better-acquainted with the "Warrior Ethos", a sort of code which the army lives by, not so simple as the army values. Study hard, and stay strong! If command gives you trouble, then like Az would say;

~Ganbare!

Well, with Thursday, fast approaching (It'll only be here in afew days), I can only hope that I will be prepared for ..."The Test" (Back to the test which was going to promote me to Private E-2, meaning a little more money added to my bi-weekly pay ...yay~)

Well, until next time;

You are what you eat, as long as you're a cannibal.

~Yours, Truely.
