The company officially moved into "white phase" last night. White phase is the second phase of our training that usually lasts three weeks. We will be getting a few more privileges in white phase such as: eating with a fork now instead of a spoon, we got to sleep to 5:30 this morning, one hour of personal time each night, etc. Our platoon was excited about this and it showed today.
We cleaned the bay all day including waxing the floor, cleaning our lockers, washing clothes, cleaning gear, and the latrines. The guys worked their butts off and so I gave them some extra personal time. Our drill sergeants were not here today; which is another privilege of white phase for us and them. I think they will be impressed with the bay in the AM.
Everything seems to be going well. We have an 8k (roughly 5 mile) ruck march tomorrow morning so we hydrated all day for that. At the half-way point my body is a little tired, but I am good to go for the next 5 weeks. We have some good training planned for this week, including rifle qualifications, getting fitted for our Army Service Uniforms, and our 2nd PT test. Should be a great week! Hope all is well!
