Quite Busy

I've been terribly busy, but I love it so no complaints here.

I pulled two all nighters in a row. Thursday night because I had fireguard and then flag detail, and last night because I wanted to help process the new 200 soldiers and then I had CQ duty from 0200-0600... and then flag detail at 7.

So there's this person in our platoon with a leadership position. All the squad leaders, me, and a handful of others offer them help every single day at every hour almost. But this person only picks the same 2-4 people to help them out and then complains every day about how much work they have and that they are never fully appreciated in life for anything they do. I literally have not slept the past 2 days at all and have been constantly on my feet. So when they are ugly to me I sit back and look at the situation. I'm 18 years old, fresh out of high school, never really dated, partied, drank or did drugs. They are twenty something, already had a job before this, married and had so many more experiences then I have had. I just don't understand. I don't want to look up to these people. They tear me down so much.

Anyways. One of the males was late to CQ duty by 15 minuets so Sergeant C let me and a friend run through his bay at 0600 screaming like Drill Sergeants and turning on all the lights. It was so great. All the guys were jumping out of their bunks and standing at parade rest. I want to do it again.
