paper progression

The Security Forces Squadron building resembles that of a police station, because of the fact that it basically is a police station. When you first walk in is the guard mount room, this is where we conduct guard mount. Next the armory is on the right, down the hall is the locker room, the offices, then the class room. When I get my gear on I go to the armory and get my M4 carbine, after everyone has their gear on and is armed up it is time for guard mount. Guard mount is where we all get called to formation, take roll call, and the higher ups give assign us to our posts, the post will either be patrol, gate, or flight line. After we are assigned our posts, our commander Major Brick informs us on the goals that we are to accomplish before the end of drill weekend like appointments, and urinalysis tests. The last thing that guard mount consists of is the safety briefing, which is basically what we can and cannot do while on duty.

my weekend

This weekend like many other my friends and i decided to do something random, we were sitting at Brads house thinking of what we could do. When my friend Steve said that he wanted some astronaut ice cream we decided to go to the science center do get some at this time it is about 2:30 so had to be on the move. We started our journey for the ice cream everything is going well, then we got lost in St Louis. We finally figured out where we had to get but not before we got some Starbucks, at 4:15 we arrived at the science center to learn that it was nine dollar parking for only being in there for five minutes but oh well. We went in and bought 12 bags of the dry ice cream, then decided to go to the Hooka bar on the loop, that was a great time. While sitting there we seen a tattoo parlor, Brad said he wanted to get his nipples pierced so we went there. When it got down to it Steve got his done, then Brad, i didnt want to get anything but i some how got talked into getting my eyebrowl pierced. After we left there we came home picked up jon and went backroading. While backroading we decided to go meet up with some people we knew from Carbondale. By the time we left it was 5 am we stopped in the parking lot of Dairy Queen in Pickneyville to take a quick power nap. We got home at 6:45 and the night was over but it is definitly a day/ night that i willl never forget.

Drill

This weekend I had drill I was not excited at all. When I found out we had to do a 80-10 exercise i was not excited at all in fact i was dreading it. 80-10 is basically were we go stand on a flightline next to a plane and make sure no terrorists come to Scott Air Force base and try to steal them, very unlikely but they seem to think so. The only good part about the exercise is that i get to carry a gun and am authorized to kill anyone who attempts to steal my plane. I no what your thinking who would give me a gun? In all seriousness im a good troop I mess around alot in class but when im in uniform im serious about my job. The Air Force has been my greatest accomplishment, getting through basic was a stepping stone for me i take pride in wearing my uniform. Now my friends on the other hand not so much, my friend Steve told a master sgt that he was on medication so he wouldnt have to do the exersize.Then my other friend Zack brought a gun into the base hospital and thats something you just do not do. Drill isnt that bad if you have a positive attitude and just keep in mind that you are serving your country thats why i do it.
