Updatessss

Unfortunately it is February already and I am still a phase IV. To be honest I am not entirely sure if I will ever pass the run on my PT test soon enough to enjoy living as a phase V here at Fort Gordon. Little did I know how different my life would be if I had signed up to be a 25Q and gone to signals across the field.

There are 20 people in our class. We just finished BET ( Basic Electronics Training ) and we are working on radio trouble shooting in a different building now. Several soldiers in our class still need to make up work from BET but the instructors don't seem to be worried too much about it. There is one soldier in our class who most likely will be washed out or classed. He was 6 days behind in BET around the time that we were supposed to be done with the class. From what I understood from the rumors, he just wasn't getting it. While we were in class yesterday, our instructor called on him to answer a question; he didn't have a clue what the answer was. My heart sank as I watched him struggle to keep from bursting into tears. No one wants to be that soldier that gets washed out of the army or reclassed. It was very sad for me to watch because I have been "that guy" before and I know what it feels like :/
