It’s so nice to take a bit of time after 7 hours of class and just drive around with friends, running little errands and whatnot. It’s amazing what all of you take for granted. Here we have a phase program, when you’re new here, you have to be in uniform for about three weeks, slowly gaining freedom as time goes by. Today some of my airman received ATP after being here for a couple of weeks. One of the ones I talk to said, “I finally feel like a real person again.” Just the chance to wear civilian clothes and go off post made him so happy. And I couldn’t blame him, because not so long ago I was in that same position. I wish more people understood what we actually go through, and would stop bitching about little things. Ah man, 16 more weeks. Goodnight.
