Sorry for the lack of new stuff but I’ve been a little busy this past week. I’m taking over for the Armorer position in our company and there’s lots of paper involved with it.
A lot of people ask me what it is that I do all day so I thought I would let you know what I did Tuesday.
5:00 am. Got up in anticipation of a barracks check. Shaved. We can’t show up in the morning unshaven, very bad. No NCO’s to check on us, false alarm or too lazy themselves to get up. I’m thinking the later.
6:00 am. OP’s(operations) meeting. Basically finding out what is going on in the coming day, any upcoming inspections or details, maybe a jump or two. This is where I as the Armorer find out that the people jumping are drawing weapons at 13:00 (1:00).
6:30 am. First formation then onto PT. Ran a few laps around the wooded engineer trail. Finished that up about 7:30 and went back to my room to shower and change.
9:00 am. Began to organize the arms room. You know, get it the way I like. I also began the arduous task of going through the weapon list and make sure that the serial numbers all match what I have.
11:40 am. Woops, late for lunch.
1:00 pm. Weapons draw for the night jump at 8:00.
2:30 pm. Went back to the list.
4:15 pm. Went home for the day, at least for a little break. Waited for the call later to come back and receive the weapons.
8:00 pm. Waited.
9:00 pm. Waited.
10:00 pm. Decided I might as well lay down.
12:30 am. Got the call that they were on their way back.
1:00 am. Received the weapons and Night Vision scopes they had… still had to wait for the people on chute detail.
2:00 am. Chute detail gets back.
2:30 am. Turn in the keys and go to bed. (at least I don’t have to come in till noon.)

I think I read that wrong at first. When I first read it, it looked like you got up at 5:00 am and went to bed at 2:30 am.
22 and a half hour day. Kinda sucks.
I would turn into an incredible hulk. As in VERY crabby.
