Day 7 - last day in the field :)

So Wednesday starts off kinda shitty- they wake you up again at o' dark thirty and you go for a run as a unit.  If you don't run you will love it b/c basically you can walk, the pace is so slow.  If you do run, like me, sucks for you, b/c you will kill your knees as you 'run' a 14 min mile.  After the run is over, they give you plenty of time to shower and eat an MRE for breakfast.  You form up and they take you out to the rappeling tower.  For me, this was awesome, loved it and did it 3 times.  Some people had problems with it, but I thought it was a lot of fun.

After the tower, you go on to some more 'classes' in the field and you finish up the day with a scenario through a level 1 BAS.  We were done by around 1600.  At that point, you could eat dinner in the chow hall if you wanted and we watied for the squad leader meetings to wrap up.  Oh and btw,  your squad will also be responsible for "cleaning' the BR every other day.  Seriously, just pick up after yourselves and it will be fine- don't cause more work for other people.  This is the night they allow you "liberty" to go into downtown SA if you like.  They let us stay out until 0300, but most people did not stay out that late.  We all split taxis down to the river walk, ate dinner, had some drinks and went back.  I have to say that SA river walk on a Wednesday night was pretty freaking lame.  It seemed like every bar we went into was just filled with middle age men oogling at drunk women- not really my scene so much.  It was nice to get off Camp Bullis though, and believe it or not, it was like 20 degrees warmer down there from the insulation of the buildings.  A much deserved break from all the retardedness...
