Ahh I love that we're getting so close to the finish line! Monday I barely got to talk to J because they had night range after dinner and didn't get released until about 10:30pm! He said they practiced reaction shooting with targets that moved and turned, etc. Tuesday night I heard from J around 8pm. He was going to go to his junior cadets room and teach him how to shine his boots and everything. I thought that was so adorable. J called me when he was all done and back in his room shining his brass. He said his cadet is so shy but will hopefully open up soon. J said the reason he picked him was because they are both graduates from the same university (double adorable π). I asked him how his day went and he said it was SUPER long. They had 6 HOURS of their report writing class. They do have a test on it on Thursday so I do understand why they're having such long classes on it. And when they're out on the field, report writing is such a huge part of their job. We continued to talk and J asked me if I have been saying "very well" a lot lately. J has been using the phrases "good to go", "outstanding" and most recently "very well" SO MUCH lately (he picked it up at the academy ππ). I do use "good to go" and occasionally "outstanding" but told J that "very well" doesn't really fit into my daily vocabulary. He repeated that and one of his roommates responded "What?! Deal breaker" hahaha. So naturally I responded "Shut up *insert cadets last name* ". We all had a good laugh and J said he can't wait for all of us to meet- he thinks his roommate and me will just constantly make fun of each other- which we probably will π. I must admit I can't wait to meet his roommates- it'll be nice to put faces to names, voices and stories. Plus it'll be nice to meet the guys J spends so much time with. J won't be coming home this weekend unless snowstorm # 1 million something stops, or they get a lot of scenario practice done. If he does stay at the academy, and the snow stops, I may make the drive over to Sac. It just depends on the weather... As usual π. On the bright side, only 63 more academy days left!
107 days down.. 87 to go!! π
