First Impressions
So I've recently arrived at my new destination aka Ft. Campbell. I'm in replacement company because I just got here and I gotta wait to be shipped to my unit. So when I first arrive I'm like okay people are being processed out pretty fast ill be out of here in like 4 days so you would think. Well the day comes to be called into an actual platoon which means I'm about to ship to my unit. The roster numbers began to be called and sure enough my number is K566 and it ends at k564. Why? Because it only makes sense. My buddy who is also a medic who reported the exact same day as me got his number called(Thursday). The next day he was shipped to his unit (Friday). Friday I finally get put into a platoon which I'm then informed we won't be shipping until friday THE NEXT WEEK.( It only makes sense). We are then introduced to our high speed platoon seargant. He gives a speech about how were going to be the loudest and best platoon...in replacement....and that we will have the cleanest barracks, be the most disciplined, and best at PT....in replacement...I can't help but think to myself..."Self, IS THIS GUY FREAKING FOR REAL". Come to find out after he gives an autobiography explaining to us how hard he is, how he doesn't put with with anything, and he's not the one, he informs us that he's been in the army 12 years....I take note of his e-6 rank.......(sigh)..After being on the verge of giving all hope to leadership positions in the military he tells us that monday he will be assigning squad leaders....in replacement...it only makes sense...
