Weekly Update - Feb. 18

This week Sam actually got to spend time in class studying psychological issues. She is in class about 8 hrs. a day which works out to the same as a college student taking about 40 hrs. a semester ... except her semester lasts 19 weeks instead of 16 weeks. They expect 25% of the students in the class to fail.

This weekend was a 4 day holiday for instructors. So what did the students do ... they spent 8 hrs. a day scraping all the old wax off the floors in order to put a new layer of wax on. She texted me that she was doing this because she is "an American Soldier. Hooah!"

In about two weeks she will be eligible to "phase" to phase 5 which will give her the opportunity to leave the base on weekends (although not overnight). I'm looking forward to finding a way to take advantage of that).
