Well…another week is done. I am so glad this one is over…after a taste of liberty last weekend, it was harder for me to keep sharp with life at ODS. Overall, it was pretty good. Most of our time was filled with Division Officer classes…learning how to be leaders. Beyond that, we have been practicing for graduation. I got my pictures done this week…I only had to wear the top half of my dress whites plus cover of my uniform and when I went downstairs, people gave me the strangest looks! I also ordered my dress blues (jacket and skirt)…$600 later I was feeling a bit broke! Wow…that is the most expensive outfit I have ever bought. Altogether with the rest of the uniform…it probably costs about $1000. I’m excited to wear it since it is my favorite uniform. It looks really sharp and even feels pretty good. I intend to wear it home for Christmas…if I get the time off.
Oh…on Sunday, I went kayaking with some friends down by the harbor on base. It was so pretty! We got there very early, so we sat on the dock and put our feet in the water…and just talked. That was a highlight for me! We were talking and I mentioned that it’s so weird that we are talking like old friends, but have only known each other for about three weeks. I feel like I’ve been here way longer than just four weeks at this point!
