So the last week was pretty draining. It's been 12 hour days, so I haven't had much in the way of personal time. Got some Bioshock in on Saturday. Interesting game, but I wish I had Lost Planet 2 instead. Watched Avatar again... And I've been reading a whole lot of Sherlock Holmes. I finished up medical this morning- and I don't have HIV. WHOOOOO! Man, I dodged a bullet on that one. I was really worried for a minute.
I figure I can probably give y'all an idea of what it is I actually do for my "job." Most of you know I'm an Ammunition Specialist, or 89B if you wanna Google it. My actual position in my unit is an Ammunition Stock Control Manager. (Or something close to that. It doesn't really matter, it's just fancy words.) My unit is a Sustainment Command. We (Mostly) are responsible for the management of stockage levels of all types of supplies for the entire country of Iraq, or we will when we get there. Obviously, I will deal specifically deal with ammunition. We will likely run 7 1/2 hour shifts once we arrive in country, so I should have more free time in a given day than I have here.
Ummmm... other happenings... PT test this weekend, so prayer would be appreciated, they always make you nervous, no matter how much you've prepared. And there's a lot resting on this for me, so I'm feeling a bit more pressure than usual. We're going to work in the Ammunition Supply Point here this week, to get a little hands on training. Not sure what next week will bring, but next Friday morning I'll be flying home for Memorial day weekend.
As always, comments are appreciated, as are questions. Thanks for reading!
P.S. Comments are open to anyone now.

Yeah, you're going to be fine on that PT test. Didn't you do like 100-something pushups in a single push-up-a-thon? No worries, mate!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank God nobody found out about our HIV thing!
To the humorless Army goon reading this blog to screw with Kappelman's life, 1) Screw you and 2) That's a joke and 3) The afore-mentioned joke is not 1), but the HIV thing.
