This morning kind of sucked I found out right before bed last night that I had a hall guard at 12:30 to 1:30 AM. So I got three hours of sleep and then did the hall guard shift with PFC Metal. We did our duties and the sergeant on desk did a thorough inspection of everything. Normally we just switch out with the next ones on shift, but he wanted to make sure everything was done correctly. Not a bad thing because everyone needs to be doing their duties and this way they are guaranteed to be done.
I had a hard time getting back to sleep after my shift for some reason. I just tossed and turned all morning, then when I finally felt like I fell asleep my alarm went off to get up. I hate it when that happens!
PT this morning was the normal warm-up exercises followed by a lot of push-ups and sit-ups. There are rumors of a long run tomorrow. There is also talk of doing weapons pt as well as road marches in the future. Bummer...I thought I left that behind when I left basic.
Started Security+ class today. I was tired as heck because of the hall guard early this morning. The class is full of vocabulary and is the class a lot of people have trouble with besides CCNA. We are also back to the full day of class schedule. We start at 8AM and go until about 16:30, then come back for 2 hours of mandatory study hall from 18:00 to 20:00. This leaves almost no personal time, especially for those of us that live in RBK. After the mandatory study hall we have to walk back over to our barracks. After we arrive, I take a shower and have a little bit of time to call my wife and say goodnight...then it’s lights out.
Overheard Quote: “I wouldn’t have joined the army if I didn’t have some sad stories” (Our instructor talking a bit on why he joined the army)

You need to go back through and put in all the NCO's names. It would be way funnier, and trust me, at this point, they wouldn't care.
Moldavski! (Opulence...I has it!)

LOL...I decided from the start not to use anyone's real names except for my own. Pretty funny that you found yourself on my site. I am here in Korea with a few people from class and every time we are out and see Hello Kitty (which seems to be very common here) we all think of you.
Hope you are doing well SGT

Rofl, I'm sorry if I misled you, I'm not Moldavski, I just like poking fun at him. He talks just like the Russian guy in the DirecTV commercials. Anyway, I'll let him know you said hello if I can find him on Monday.
I like the site, it's pretty impressive work. Wonder if you are using an app or hardcoding it all. I would suggest creating a page with links to all the days of each blog by title, or/and creating a search function that will grep the pages for keywords. It's a little difficult to navigate through them as is. Nice work though.
Don't know if you heard, but they shut RBK down. Clark Island is history.

Yes...tell him hello if you see him.
I'm using an app called iWeb for the site. It makes everything very simple...even a caveman could do it. On the main page of my journals it has a "go to archive" link as well as a search field. This sounds like what you are looking for. Take a look and let me know, I'm always looking for ways to improve my site
I hadn't heard that RBK was shut down. Wow! What was the reason?
Also since this isn't Moldavski who may I ask is this? Another instructor?

Ahh, didn't see that link, that will work though.
RBK got shut down because it was designed to be a trap barracks anyway, meaning that when we get a ton of you students in the fall (think about it, everyone joins after school lets out in early summer, then spends 9 weeks in BCT, then we get them, so it puts it at like late summer, early fall for the big push of soldiers.) and here it is winter/early spring and all you guys have PCSd from that push. There simply aren't enough soldiers right now to support leaving it open. Plus all that power was going to his head - he got treated better than the freaking company 1SGs did.
Anyway, yeah, I'm a Software Instructor. You can probably figure out who.
