Thankfully, I haven't done much this weekend.  I am really exhausted from a difficult, but short week.  I am dreading next week, but I felt the same way in Basic Training.  You survive from weekend to weekend.  Actually, that is not much different from civilian life.  This morning I woke up too late for breakfast (it's over at 08:30) so I cannot take any Aleve.  Trust me, I will never let this happen again.  I am in miserable pain, plus I am starving.

Not having a car does suck.  However, it makes little sense to spend $300 - $500 a month towards a car that is just going to sit 75% of the time.  I really want to try to get along without it for as long as possible.

I am sorry that I don't have any pictures this week, so to make up for that, I have commentary.

My OCS class has about 150 people in it.  Of those, only 28 are female.  There are only 6 females in my platoon and I am the only female in my squad.  The vast, vast majority are white males.  Of the college options (people who have no previous military experience), there are only 2 or 3 who are not white.  Many of the minorities I have met here have a huge number of years of service (10+).  That makes for the potential of a pretty huge class distinction within the officer corps.  I am interested to see how it plays out.  Here many of the prior service people (of every background) seem to really have trouble making the shift from seeing things as senior enlisted vs. officer mindset.  For example, they are used to barking orders at people vs. seeing that we are all peers.

Anyway, just thinking out loud.
