Well, I got my wish. Unit drill almost always takes place on the first full weekend of the month, but because Columbus Day (Monday 9th) is a federal holiday, this month’s drill won’t take place until next weekend. That gives me an additional week to work on my fitness.

That’s good; what isn’t good is that I didn’t do any further work on “God Save the Queen”. Still, I’ve been adjusting my schedule to facilitate more time available for work, and I’ll start utilizing some of it tomorrow.

I’ll do my reenlistment next weekend, as soon as I’ve completed the APFT, and meanwhile I’ll be cashing out the special 10%-interest-bearing account I opened for Army savings while I was overseas. (It ceased to draw interest three months after my return.) That, plus my reenlistment bonus, will provide me with enough to live for two years with careful budgeting — I’ve made it for five months on the extra I had collected in my regular checking account — but I still hope to be attending DLI by then.

So. Life continues.
