How Am I Supposed To Process This Feb 20-26

As the title says this new school was something completely different from what I am used to. To start off my orders said show up to this location at 6:30am. Well, the system on the class told others to show up between 7-7:30am but the instructor got the class around 8am and told everyone that class doesn't start until 8:30 on a regular unless he tells us something different. I was too tired before class even started. We filled out paperwork and got these cool access badges to access the building. With cool badges you couldn't have your phone anywhere except in the lobby on the first floor since it is a secure building. On the first day we took a pretest and I kid you not the only thing I knew on that pretest was my first name. At that moment I knew that I had to make sure I took some excellent notes if the pretest looked the way it did.

This class was more than what I was expecting but I learned more of the "secret" things of the Navy. Everyone isn't granted the opportunity to go to this course, I was actually waitlisted for 2 months until 2 weeks before the course started because someone dropped. With learning all this super important stuff, we had another test this week. Like anyone who takes some good notes, you'll go home and study all of your material so that you are prepared for your exam. Well, all of this information is "secret" those notebooks that they gave use had to be locked up everyday after class because that material cannot leave the building. Never in my life did I wish I had photographic memory when I was trying to remember all of my notes that night. I showed up early the next morning and studied and the instructor gave us a small review before the exam. Safe to safe I passed! Those who didn't pass had to stay for an hour after class ended and study more.

With surviving one school i had to come back to reality when I noticed that my flight was booked incorrectly for my next school that I had to fly to in 2 weeks. I had to make that dreadful drive 30+ minutes to my main base so that they could fix the error. I could have waited but I rather handle things early instead of doing it the week I leave. I also had to contact my detailer with a request to made some modifications to my orders.

Almost Went To Mexico

My "almost" trip to Mexico was something that was not on my weekend agenda. The reason for it is because the outlet mall is literally the last USA exit before you end up driving to the Mexican border. But once you actually arrive to the outlet mall there is a wall that lines the border between Mexico and southern California. If you wanted to be risky you could touch the gate but I highly doubt the border patrol would even let you get that close. Besides me almost driving into Mexico I explored what the outlet mall had to offer and it was nice but you actually might have better luck at the malls. Before my journey of getting back to the house I took out my time to go and try the infamous California burrito. It lives up to the hype for taste but I thought it was some super extravagant burrito. It's more of a burrito a tourist should try to say they did versus just wanting a specific burrito.
