Yesterday I finished my Phase II physical. This basically places me on a dead man profile. Which prevents me from doing anything that may injure me. One of the biggest things is “NO MORE PT”! PT being the one of the things I hate most about the Army. Just the idea of doing organized excersize that is focused on what the group needs to do and not what you need to do as an individual.

Today would of been my first day of falling out of PT because of this. Except I was suppose to go and do some work at the office. I went to go grocery shopping at Wal-mart at 9 last night and didn’t get to sleep until around midnight. This late night life that I have been living all week finally caught up with me and I over slept this morning.

So I had another visit from my PLT SGT. This time he had a piece of paper that was some kind of military order. Looked at it and said that I needed to gather some uniforms, PT’s, and shower gear. I made an attempt to look at the paper and informed him “I am not moving on post”. I don’t know why but seemed confused and puzzled by my response. Stepped back outside made a phone call and said he needed four people. What does he plan on doing? Physically remove me from my home?

I asked him about the paper and he told me it was a military order. No shit. I figured out that by reading the large headline. After about 20 minutes he left and informed me that tomorrow morning at 0630 I would be AWOL.

I may be a PFC, but I am not a dumb private. In order for them to officially classify me as being AWOL I have to be gone more than 30 consecutive days. I don’t know if he was trying to scare me or what.

I wasn’t trying to sleep in this morning, but I was so tired I slept until 10am. I have an appointment today at 1:30 then I will stop by the company and talk with my commander. He has always been reasonable and understanding maybe I will have better luck dealing with him.
