After my internship on Friday, I loaded up the Harley and headed out for Griffin, GA.
I left Dahlonega around 1500, or 3 PM for civie types. A hour and 45 minute trip turned into 3 hours. Idiots who drive like Ray Charles fill the roadways. While I'm sitting on I-75 parking lot, I think my Harley might overheat because its air cooled so I hit the closest exit. People in Atlanta must of never seen a Harley riding around the streets of downtown, or it was the shirt. The shirt read in big orange and white letters, "I'll take cash, grass, or ass, no one rides for free."
So I finaly arrive at the hotel for the night. Me and sme of the guys head out to grab some chow. We hit up Buffalo's and drink a couple for a guy in my platoon's birthday. Then we have a great idea, this is the pre-drinking stage we're going out tonight! Long story short, we got toasted and the next day was fun. I felt like 200 hundred pounds or chewed bubble gum, no headache, just dog tired.
Now the good stuff about drill. We're organizing and finishing moving in to our new digs. So during the physical labor they call a few names including mine, and said "Those medics will go to AT in the UK in Sept." Hell Yes!! Awesome news. Then today during last formation I was called to the front of the formation. The commander of our company I've known for a while, so I joke around with him alot. I went up front and hit put me in the front leaning rest, telling me he I was out of uniform. He told me to recover then I heard, "Attention to Orders!" Whats goin on, my heart raced, and I got nervous all of a sudden. So now I'm the Battalion's newest Sergeant.
Great weekend drill, one of the best.

OMG... Congratulations! London!! LONDON!!!
I am sooooo excited for you! If you need a translator from your Georgia Drawl to our Queens English let me know. Up front you'll need to know 2 things: to ask for a beer you ask for a "pint" or "ale" in the more respectable places, which is served at room temps.
2nd, the bathrooms are called either "Loos" or "WC's" as in water closets depending on how old the buildings are. Oh, this you might love, bathrooms are co-ed, so always knock before entering unless you want to walk in on a girl or a couple.
Finally, be careful about asking a girl if she wants "a ride home" or "take a cab home" (as opposed to needing a lift) because it had a lot more meaning than you think.
There, you now know the basics to survive. Good luck and send a postcard. BTW, football there is really soccer?

I must second the comment that you do indeed have pretty eyes and hair. But regardless of what RSM says, somehow, I doubt the Army works that way. Although, I do have some special movies where it totally does!
