This is Heather's daily routine, as part of her "Red Phase" training. Basic Training is split into 3 phases, "Red, White, & Blue". Each phase concentrates on certain skills and lasts approximately 3 weeks each. Each phase must be passed, before a trainee can move on to the next one.

Heather has also passed her First Aid Exam, 1st Physical Training Test, and has done road marches, went through the Gas Chamber, done a Shooting Simulation, and participated in some team building courses.
Whew, I am tired just typing this. It does seem like her schedule is much like the one I had in Basic Training in 1985. I can only imagine how she is doing with going to bed and getting up so early. She was always one that liked to stay up all night and then sleep in late. I also know that not being able to watch tv must be driving her crazy. I did write and tell her who the winner of American Idol was. She is, of course, my American Idol...even if she can't sing that great! :)
