ATTENTION IN THE AREA, ATTENTION IN THE AREA. 15 DAYS UNTIL RECOGNITION FOR THE CLASS OF 2012.

Well... it sure is getting close now. Since the last time I posted a lot has gone down. Some good. Some bad. Hundreds night was awesome. It was probably the most fun we've had at USAFA during the whole year. For those of you who dont know what it is, its the 100th night till the seniors graduate, so while they go out and party we decorate their rooms. Austin, Shawn, and I did Knblock and Harding's room as well as Kulumani and Dougherty. We turned Knoblock and Hardings room in to a honeymoon sweet which was pretty funny. and for Kulumani and Dougherty, we tin foiled EVERYTHING in the room. It looked really good when we were done with it, but it took about 6 hours to complete with the three of us working on it. If you wanna check it out, go here and check out the sweet video I made. That weekend was also fun because Michael was in town to visit Courtney. So we hung out a little bit during the weekend. He seemed to enjoy himself out here and is thinking about moving out here. We'll see if that happens.... lol. Then last weekend was the National Character and Leadership Symposium hosted here at USAFA. there were people from all over the world here for that, which was kinda cool. We got to hear from sweet speakers like a retired CIA Spy, and Gene Kranz who was the head mission controller for the Apollo 13 mission. In the movie, he's portrayed by Ed Harris (the one with the vest). Anyway he was a really great speaker. Unfortunately that night we also learned of our restriction. That kinda sucked, but I didnt really have anything planned that weekend so it didnt really bother me. They lifted the wing wide restriction this week, but our Squad Comm restricted us again. Funny story about that. As tradition would have it, we all decided to fail the last knowledge test on purpose by writing in "2012 Never Falter Never Fail" for every answer. Long story short, our Squad Comm wasnt too happy about that so we're once again restricted this weekend. And they took our cell phones away on Monday for the whole fiasco. Oh well. We have a chance at earning them back though. Yesterday they handed out 3x5's that had ridiculous excersizes on them like "4 mile rifle run" or "19 sets of 50 rep 4 count flutter kicks." If all of the tasks are completed by Monday, then they'll give us our cell phones back. and I think everyone is going to do it. so thats good. In about an hour though, my life is going to suck immensely. The reason? Well this weekend is a silver weekend, and part of it is a round robin that starts at 1645 and goes till 1800. Round robins are basically high intensity training session in which every squadron in the Group has a shot at beating you. We've only done one, and it sucked, so I'm guessing this one will be no different. Whats worse, I'm still pretty sick. but I'd rather just man up and go out there to help out my classmates than be weak about it and skip out. Probably not the smartest decision health wise, but I wont feel right if I dont go. Lord willing though, next weekend I'll be heading to New Mexico with the Air Force Ultimate team for a tournament down there. They invited me to go so I'm going to go ahead and send the paper work up and see what happens. Its the weekend before recogntion so I dont know if they'll approve it. Well I need to start getting mentally ready for this Round Robin so I shall post again sometime later...
