Nothing really exciting has happened in ROTC lately. Ever since ranger challenge, there really isn't much going on. There's the usual class on Tuesday and lead lab on Thursday. But nothing funny or exciting to really talk about.
The Marine Corps option seems to be going well though. Now that finals are over and I have a 3 week break I can now focus on studying for that ASVAB. Hopefully I'll get at least a 75....but I heard a monkey could pass it so I don't really need to treat it as if it were ACT.
This December has been going good. Its a good month. We already had our annul ROTC Christmas party. Which was very...well I'll just say it wasn't worth my time. Food was pretty good though. Oh I also got the highest PT score in the freshman class. My goal next semester is to get at least a 300. Running is what I'll probably be working on for the next 3 weeks...
So yeah. Cadet Toyoda really has nothing interesting to report about. Maybe next semester....

Life and Times of Cadet Toyoda vol. 4
My goodness. ROTC is just FULL of surprises. If anything it taught me to expect the unexpected. I have never expected the unexpected as much as I do now. I mean its not a bad thing is it? I need to stay alert and be ready for the worst to come. That's what a good solider does....Right?
Who knows?
Actually its made me more a paranoid freakazoid more then anything. I live in what is basically the projects of Chicago. I'm awake at night hoping no one breaks in my room and steal my belongings. I carry my knife in my right pocket ready to use it. I freak out at the little things. Today someone just wanted to say hi and I jumped back 5 feet and fired up my fighting position.
I'm usually a easy laid-back fun person but the circumstances here have been....controversial. Its quite comical. But that still doesn't rid of the newly formed dark circles under my eyes.
Oh well, at least I have the Marine Corps to look forward to. They seem to be on a whole 'nother level then where the Army is. Which is great. I love stepping my game up. This year has been full of challenges and I faced them, not the way I should of, but at least I did.
Army ROTC isn't all that bad. I actually formed some pretty good friendships here. I like the Cadets and they seem to like me. Oh. And when they say the military knows everything. They KNOW everything. Like me being a cage fighter....
Well, PT starts in 9 hours. I have a feeling that I'm going to get knocked out with a ball....
