Wednesday ...

Better than yesterday. Had sweepers this morning, a little more rough than usual since having everyone clean makes lots of stuff dirty. Blazed through some more MODs in ATT (11+ days ahead of schedule, which is more than the 15% to get my PDA). Academics today was canceled due to a blood drive being held in the ship. Just need to iron a uniform for tomorrow and re-polish my boots (got destroyed Tuesday). One thing learned from yesterday ... coveralls are comfy!

Tuesday ...

.... LAME. Started off well, moved into the 'digital circuits' part of the ATT curriculum. Digital was always easier to begin with and I also remembered more of it, so I was able to do well on the section Pre-Test. Then there was post-ATT PT ... in the rain. Not bad, this is the NAVY afterall and it's just water ... but still push-ups in the rain isn't my idea of "fun".

But then it got REALLY silly. Since it was a Duty day our section decided to have everyone strip and re-wax our floors. Sure no problem ... oh wait, big problem ... there's not enough of ANYTHING for everyone on one deck to strip and wax their floors all at the same time. The student staff for our duty section also didn't think any sort of detailed planning was necessary ... just put the stuff out there and people will get it done. Thus I ended up spending 5 hours trying to provide some method to the madness. Getting people to share equipment (swabs, strainers, etc.), rationing chemicals (pure striper melts plastic gloves), and then cleaning up all the equipment when people were done. NOT fun. I didn't help my roomates get our room done, and they spent a few hours helping me get equipment clean. I'll be writing up a "how to" so we don't have to go through that again ... I'll also be striping and waxing my floor on Saturday (our next duty day).
