So that it is clear, all of this is a recap of the last weekend from January 7th to January 9th as it happened.

This past weekend, as you know, I had to go to Tampa, Florida to do the battalion level Best Warrior Competition (Agh!  I am so bored and burnt out with even hearing that title).  Before leaving I literally ransacked my bedroom to find things in my luggage that I brought back with me from training.  For the record, my bedroom doesn't look like this on a regular basis.  I just had to dig out only the items that I thought I needed for the weekend.

I left with my sponsoring NCO later Friday afternoon.  I drove and we studied using the iPhone Army Study Guide app the majority of the way to prepare for what turned out to be not as stressful as expected.  

Fast forward and we are arrived in Tampa and I was dead tired.  I didn't get to bed until late.

To be continued...

 

P.S.  I've been extremely busy between teaching all day, physical training and working and shooting videos for my YouTube channel, I'm pretty burnt.  But preparing for the BWC is what had to take most of my time.  But I'm trucking right along.

I've been sitting up late like this in my bed for the past four days studying for the board of the Best Warrior Competition happening this weekend (January 8-9).  I am soooooo tired right now it's not funny.  It's 2:04am...  Tomorrow morning I have to report to my unit to do mock sessions of going before the board in terms of the procedures and then the oral questioning on various subjects of Army knowledge.  The latter is the part that has had me stressed out.  The good part is that SSG Amaya, one of my detachment squad leaders, assured me that the board is aware of me having just graduated as a new soldier and will be asking basic questions.  Phew!  But still in the back of my mind, I know to plan for the worst, hope for the best. *fingers crossed, saying lots of prayers* It's just how I'm wired. lol  

Stay tuned!
