How to waste my time in the sandbox.
I have found a few ways to pass the time here:
Read Paramedic Textbook (Important)
Read ECG textbook (Important back home)
Read ACLS textbook (Also only usefull back home)
Play Dawn of War on Laptop (Not-so-important)
Play Red Alert 2 on Laptop (Definently not important)
Build Shelf (Important, but more difficult than sounds*)
Watch Movies (Important in the sense that it is mind numbing... and sometimes you need that.)
___________________________________________
Things that the command here has found to pass my time for me:
PT tests (OK, I'll give the Army that one)
Fun Runs (Nothing "fun" about running... especially when the Army has forbidden use of headphones/MP3 players here. I'm gonna whine here-> Air Force is still allowed the use of these items during PT.)
Introduction of new and irritating hoops for me to jump through to get my ambulances fitted with the proper equipment.
NCO of the Month Boards (to which I was voluntold I was going to... representing a platoon, company, battalion, etc, that I only am only a part of for this deployment.)
Loss of and re-writing of awards I already filed (for events that occured 3-4 months ago.)
___
I should probably stop bitching now.

(Note about the shelf: My attempt to build a shelf has been set back at a couple of times now. Every piece of wood I took to build my shelf turned out to be warped slightly. My tape measure that I bought had some length missing. I did not factor in the blade width when cutting the first few pieces of wood. Then the self-help had wood that looked un-warped, but was rough-cut. So I planed out the wood only to find that these 2-x-4s were also warped. It is driving me a little nuts, but at least it's keeping me busy.)

Ok. So the other night the 1st PLT Platoon SGT comes over and has a meeting with everyone. They now plan to have a PT test every month. I said I'd give them that one before, but this is ridiculous.
Could you email me your address... I have something I want to mail you.

So how are you wasting your time these days? It doesn't appear that you're writing.... We're waiting for more.
