Three years ago today

This would be my 2 day of Basic Military Training. By this time I had already accomplished a few things that apparently you don't earn medals for.

1. I had vomited my breakfast twice because you need to eat your eggs in 3 minutes.
2. I had filled out a survey about my training experience thus far, and was rewarded by being sent to the shrink to see if I was a possible homicidal maniac.
3. Nearly passed out trying to run 2 miles.
4. Cried for mommy.
5. Got a sweet tan on my forearms.
