Well today was the first day I got to wear my BDUs. Only after putting the uniform do I begin to realize what it feels like to be a soldier. Even if it was only for a few hours, it was still a very interesting and unique feeling. It is interesting the looks you get when wearing the uniform aroung campus, and the way people treat you. Though because of the size and prestige of OSU's ROTC program, most people are used to seeing people walk around in full uniform. Anyway, as I started to say, today was out first Lab, which basically means we get to don the uniforms and act like soldiers, not just students. Today we mainly just did D&C (Drill and Ceremony for the civilians reading this). We started to learn the basic commands, marching, saluting etc. All stuff Steve tried to teach me before I ever joined ROTC. Also, I guess being in band finally paid off, marching like a pro lol. Ok, now its time to start complaining about the boots. Unbroken in combat boots suck! Not only are they uncomfortable as hell to start off with, I had to wear my uniform to two of my other classes because I do not have a long enough break in between to head back to my dorm. So after a few hours of wearing the boots, the back of my ankle is pretty much torn up. Hopefully I will be able to go to PT tomorrow morning, but right now it is pretty hard to walk. Thats all for now. I will update more later after my feet stop bleeding.
