bouncingbean's Journal: oh good grief

Found out today that the Artillery course I'm going on this summer will be different than the one I was injured on last summer. Last summer it was fairly relaxed, as military courses go, i.e. no inspections in the morning and easy PT. Well this year they are upping the physical training aspect and are now doing inspections for this course. They have also cancelled any leave that the members of the course get. This course is the artillery officer course. The most important course I can possibly take, they have decided to add what we call C.O.C.K. It's not an acronym. Needless to say I'm right pissed off.

Reasons why I'm pissed off: 1. I will have less time to study 2. Stress level will be through the roof detracting from any reasonable study environment 3. I've already done a total of 5 months of this C.O.C.K. I think I have PROVED that I can make my $%^&ing bed!

The reasons I believe they are doing this: 1. Instill discipline and 2. Instill the ability to work as a team.

As I've said I've already done 5 months of this crap, most people only do 3, but still respectable. I have learned team work, I have learned discipline, why the bloody hell do I have to learn more?!? I'm will not learn anything new! I'm already freaking stressed out about the course and it's not for another month! Oh and my wife is due in October.

*must not punch out course officer* will be my new mantra.

Man I hope that the info I got on this was wrong and my buddy was pulling my leg. I'll find out next parade night.

Just had to rant. Thanks.
