It was really cold today, something like 36 degrees this morning. For some people this isn't Cold, I think you have to be strange and delusional to think 36 degrees is not "that cold". I herd a random SSG who calls them self ("reception cadre") thats in charge, tell the whole "reception" platoon to take there sweaters and gloves off because it isn't that cold. I wasn't wearing mine, but I thought your supposed to wear things like sweaters, gloves when its Cold. Why do people make cold weather clothes and why do we get issued it if we can never wear it?
I seriously feel like a brand new Private here at the 82nd Airborne Reception, everyone in the platoon are all new out of basic training besides only a few of us. Were force to stand in formation with them, and hear multiple SSG's bark and act all high and mighty. I think it really fucking sucks to be in an equal in a platoon of newbies fresh out of basic. Most are only 18-19 years old. 8 years ago I was in Iraq, while these little kids were just about to hit junior high and going through puberty. So after 41 months of Combat, and 9 years of service I am an equal in a platoon with someone with no more than 6 months in the Army. Way to go Army. I believe there needs to be a lot of changes in the way they do business here. You get one person telling you to do one thing, while the other will tell you something totally different. Im going to end it for now. Thank you to the nice lady's at the Vehicle Registration and Tricare at the Hospital, you two were the only nice and sincere people I have met on this base. I hope I can reach the 700th day without getting an early discharge. I think I might try reading the bible tomorrow, even though I don't believe in it. It might make me feel a little better. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Until next time ...........
