Rest, Worship and Food

  26 June 2011

Alpha Company got to sleep in til 0530 this morning. Chow was at 0700. We were given the option of signing up for a religious service today. I decided to sign up for the Protestant Bible Study for 0915 to 1015. A couple of guys went with me. The service was located in the Regimental Chapel and was conducted by an Army 2nd LT. It was a traditional service: Call to Worship, sang a few songs, offering, and message. The chaplin preached out of Philippians Chapter 2. The title of the message was about having the attitude of Christ and the challenge was "Are you full of yourself? or like Christ, do you empty yourself?"

After services we had chow and watched a couple of movies: The New Rambo movie and a documentary called "Restrepo". The afternoon was pretty nice. We had about 3 hours of free time so I decided to do laundry. We went to chow around 1800 and came back and had a class about hygiene.

Only one more day of reception and I cannot wait to begin BCT. The barracks are getting restless and so am I. Also, for the reader's sake, I will be able to write about more interesting events.
