Part IV

He quickly sheds his sweat soked MOLLE (gear vest) and ACU's, hanging then up on his locker with a towel strategically placed on the floor to catch the dripping sweat. As he does most days, he moves directly to his laptop and turns it one. As the laptop boots up, he tosses in a chew and grabs a coca-cola out of the ice chest that rests next to the desk. After a minute or two, one password and a couple clicks he begins his normal internet routine: check emails, check the banks statements, check the investments, then its off to YouTube to watch some standup comedy videos. But today was a little different...he had already booked a hotel and bought tickets for the Braves game on Saturday night. Growing up in Southern California, he rarely had the opportunity to go and see his favorite major league baseball team "Da Braves". he was not about to pass up any chance to go and see Chipper Jones, Jeff Francour or Bobby Cox. Plus, he had found this awesome sports bar just a couple blocks from the stadium he would have to find his way to again. After confirming both his tickets and his hotel reservations, he closes his laptop, strips his clothes and heads in for a much needed shower. After a quick Army shower, he tosses on a new set of ACU's and awaits word of when final formation will be. (final formation is the last formation where the soldiers gather together to get accountability - know where everyone is - and pass out any last information before being released to do what they may).
