The past couple of weeks haven’t been too exciting so I’ll share what an average week looks like. The average day goes as follows:
- 6:10 – Wake up, get ready for the day, and get the room clean.
- 6:45 – Morning accountability formation (standing in neat rows and columns to make sure everyone is there).
- 7:00 – Breakfast.
- 7:40 – Morning classes start.
- 11:55 – Lunch accountability formation.
- 12:00 – Lunch.
- 12:45 – Afternoon classes start.
- 4:10 – Classes finish.
- 6:00-8:00 – Buffet-style dinner.
- 11:00 – When I try to be in bed.
After classes finish, the rest of the day is yours to work out and do homework. About every other week, Wednesday is a Study Day, which just means classes don’t happen. It’s supposed to counteract the intense workload, but the joke is that Study Days miraculously get filled with random online training and meetings that you didn’t find out about until the night before. Weekends are normally free when it’s not football season, but occasionally there will be a study hall on Saturday mornings for Plebes and people with below a 3.0 GPA.
Monday and Tuesday we wear the “As For Class” uniform.
The rest of the week, the uniform is the “Army Combat Uniform”. The great thing about most uniforms is that the name tells you exactly what it’s for.
