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!
