A day in the life of guard drill

5:07 wake up
5:30 determine it's too rainy to ride bikes, sigh, change out of ridiculous outfit and into sweatpants because it's FREEZING AND LIKE OCTOBER OUTSIDE
6:13 jen and i decide we are too early, swing by PDQ for coffee/donuts
6:43 roll call, i have NO COMBAT BOOTS [how did i lose a pair of combat boots? rats...i look ridiculous]
7:37 my sister rolls up to front gate with steel toe combat boots, whew
8:30 big important meeting, wearing my boots
9:15-11 build 400 itty bitty practice bombs
11:07 worst chow hall food EVER. jaegerschnitzel? what is that supposed to be, german? if i can't cut it with a knife, it probably isn't digesting. you aren't fooling anyone, chow hall. soggy cold onion rings? blech. probably goes down as worst meal at the chow hall ever. where is chili mac when you need it.
12:03-3:15 build more practice bombs, futz with the color coding scheme in smart aleck-y ways [i.e. spray painting the word "red" instead of actually spraying them red]
4:00 one beer at the club
4:35 home and ready to do it all over again, hopefully this time with boots
