Attrition

I can't say that it has settled down into a routine, but I have become pretty comfortable with my ability to deal with the program here. The procedures that must be followed for everything are becoming more natural. I know how to set up a tight room. However, the class continues to be whittled down as people drop out or get booted out. Monday we lost the last female in our class, and tomorrow my favorite guy is dropping out. The AF doesn't need officers right now (our class started at 64 people as opposed to 200) so they are really raising the standards and difficulty. They want at least 25% to drop, so we still have a few more to go. As far as injuries go, there are quite a few; yes, I'm one of them. I ended up separating my shoulder during JMAC (Joint Military Athletic Competition) last weekend competing against the Army and Navy OCSs. I'll be alright in a couple weeks though.
It's hard to believe I'm in week five of training already. The days are incredibly long, but the weeks fly by. These first six weeks they're trying to get you to drop out, then they begin to teach you more about being an officer. I really do feel like I'm in the groove though, and even enjoying myself at times. Time to go do yet another of the many things they create to make us busy...
