Sorry about the huge gap in my blog. The last 2 weeks have been just plain hectic. We went to a different training site where we conducted convoy operations (conops). Conops is a really important part of any soldiers training. If you plan on ever driving anywhere in a war zone you had better understand conops. The training was some of the best that I've received here. Usually, we have a bunch of down time and don't get much done, but for this block we were more than busy.
To be honest, there wasn't a ton going on worth special note, we just kept busy. One thing's for certain, though. I am glad to be eating at a cafeteria and away from MRE's, even if it is for just a while. MRE's are Meals Ready to Eat. It's the army's idea of a sack lunch. Except this sack lunch never goes rotten. You'll find bread, meat and fruit that lasts for 2 years. I wonder what they put in the things to make them last that long (nothing good for you, I'm sure). The best part about MRE's is what they do to your digestive system. Everybody reacts differently, but everybody certainly reacts.
So, as I previously stated, it's great to have some real food.
