JULIET 182 WEEKLY JOURNAL |

|
18OCT09 "Juliet 182 Act IV" Or "Ready or not, signed, sealed, and delivered" Eventful to say the least, was week 05. A lot of things transpired, but we were able to keep it on the straight and narrow. Our main point of emphasis for the next 02 weeks will be emphasis. Focus is hard to maintain when anticipating something to intensely. Now that we all have our orders, we can't wait to see what our new units will be like. We remain constantly moving forward because we know that the goal at hand, significance wise, is paramount to any goal we've probably ever had. "This will be the hardest thing you will ever do. But when you graduate, it will be the greatest day of your life." That keeps us going every day. We know that our company commanders have our best interests in mind. "Rockin' and rollin'," just like Chief Ruchser says. Week 06 swiftly approaches, so Juliet swiftly marches towards 06NOV09. Looking ahead, we are proud. Proud to say we are Juliet-182. Although the weather has been rather gruesome, to say the least, it's going to happen whether you're ready or not. So you just have to adjust on the fly. And you know the "Old Chief," a little weather's not going to stop him. Therefore, a little weather's not going to stop Juliet. Instead of sitting around like small children waiting for the rain to go away, we were inclined to pro-activity. We headed to the gym for a bike workout. Week 05 had its ups and downs, but unlike weeks prior, it had more ups than downs. We've bonded and actually were able to look enough in unison, and uniform ourselves long enough, to pass our Battalion Commander's inspection of our Operational Dress Uniform. "You wear the uniform extremely well, probably the best I've seen in a long time," said Senior Chief Health Services Technician Wong. For most of us, it was our first encounter with Senior Chief Wong, but I guarantee it won't be our last. So, ready or not, here we come. There's no hiding, waiting for the storm to subside. A true guardian will jump in his boat and head straight for the eye of the hurricane, because that's what we do. We can't anticipate what's going to happen, anticipation is for fools. We can only be prepared for whatever beast pops out of the closet. So, if Superman wants to pick a fight with Juliet, we've got the kryptonite ready. Making sure we don't get cocky, we always keep in mind where we started. They say "those that forget the past are destined to repeat it." So we move forward, knowing that time stops for no one. We do our best to make sure Juliet-182 is forever remembered. Goodnight, Juliet-182 |
