Awesome. The BOS and the DO are both incredibly slack. I just need to endure approximately another 12 hours of boredom! I'm not going to bother with checking all the cars and everything. Just because this place is composed of equal parts paranoia and laziness doesn't mean I have to be that way too. So I'll just take the laziness bit. Haha! I hope I don't get into trouble though. I'm not sleepy yet, but I think I will be soon. I'm actually a very dedicated guard 2IC. I sleep way less than average, although that's probably just stupid and I really doubt it's appreciated by anyone. Anyway, today's setting up drill was such a fiasco. The specialist platoon was only supposed to do two phases, and the second got rained out. This is one of the things I find really laughable about this place. Safety is such an obsession that we're really creating a bunch of people whose instinctive reaction to rain is to dial and check the Cat status. Seriously, the enemy isn't going to take a breather just because there's lightning! Like get real...
