The first real day of basic has begun. According to my basics I am Cadet chief senior master sergeant Stephanie S Boerdle, how they came up with that I have no idea. B flight is currently in the lead with calling me a Sir 3 times followed by C flight with 2...A and D flight have yet to mistake me for a male.
Story 1: The squadron commader is talking to a flight of basics. At the same time the flight commander is correcting. The flight commander turns to the basic and yells size (line up tallest to shortest)...the basic responds with Sir the answer is large.
Story 2: We leave basic and realize one of the flights is missing one basic. We search Mitchell Hall and still can't find him. We assume he's joined another flight. At the same time A flight is walking away. A basic reports in, asks to make a statement and then proceeds with Sir this is not where I belong. The cadre thinking it's one of his basics responds with we'll talk about your 34 (drop out paper work) process later. The basic responds with Sir I don't want to leave the academy, I just am not part of your flight...this was the basic we had searched Mitch's for and he had in fact joined another flight.
Day 2 has come to a close. There was church tonight and it was nice to just sit and relax and not worrying about yelling. 2 Basics have already asked for form 34s, many have asked if this is as hard as it gets, and there are some that still don't understand their left from their right.
USA plays Ghana tomorrow, these basics will be keeping me from watching the game, but we're allowed to start training tomorrow! YAY! I'm going to go watch a movie and relax for a bit until the basics get back from peeing in a cup. Another late night and early morning tomorrow.
