You won't believe this!

I got a call from my recruiter today.  Can you believe it?  It's been more than a month since I first e-mailed her, asking for my paperwork.  She proceeded to explain that she was on vacation, her step-father was really sick, she brought her phone and computer but forgot the chargers, she was so busy before she left for vacation, she took on the responsibilities of a chief investigator for something. . .blah blah blah!

She must've gotten an earful from my troop commander this morning, because she mentioned speaking to her today.  All I care about is that she's going to finally finish her job as my recruiter and send the paperwork.  She's sending it directly to my troop commander to get it expedited.

I had planned on hanging out at the pool today, taking it easy.  I got myself all prepared for some fun in the sun and walked over to the pool.  As I got there, I remembered that the pool is closed on Mondays for cleaning.  Way to go!  The way of the Army is to adapt and improvise.  Instead of sitting by the pool, I took my Coleman collapsible chair and sat on a landing, reading my book.  Not as great as being poolside, but it still worked.  It was 112 today, so I didn't last long.  Don't worry, I was covered head to toe in sunscreen.  Even after showering, I can still feel the sunscreen!

Only a few more days until I come home!  I cannot wait!

I hope you are all doing well!
