"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

Drive on

To look at the training schedule and see "driver training" couldn't have been more appropriately timed. I'm pretty sure the language training and classroom tactics were about ready to drive a majority of us 6 feet under. There's nothing like going through a PMCS/-10 (vehicle maintenance) briefing to get relief from sundry other weary power points. This would mean to the rest of us that we'd be out driving a Hummer soon. Over the river and through the woods therapy. Its like a go cart track for big boys and girls. It's the only time I've asked for seconds since I've been here. Well, excluding beer!
Next week--weapons quals......and more Dari.
All you other medical personnel, you'll get class VIII when you get here. If you have extra from your unit go ahead and bring what you've got. It takes a while to get issue and if you come with a big team you'll need plenty of cold med remedies.
Don't go buy new ACUs before you get here. If you have a couple sets and/or BDUs you'll be fine because they issue plenty of boots and 4 sets ACUs etc....
Access to washer/dryer are plentiful. That's one thing they really have going on here.
