It has felt pretty surreal being home. It's as if I'd never left to begin with. The last 4 months have flown by and I know these next 35 days will as well. 35 ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=302 Well, I'm a few weeks into AIT now.  It's been mostly classroom stuff so far.  We are currently learning all garrison related stuff.  Regular police work kind of stuff.  We get back to the combat related training after Christmas.  One of the highlights of AIT so far was the Hummer ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=256 So it's official, I've graduated Army Basic Training.  Tomorrow starts AIT which is my Military Police Training.  We went through the night infilltration course which was miserable but it is a tradition and a right of passage kind of thing.  Low crawling in 30 degree weather at night, going through ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=254 Where do I even start.  It's Thursday morning and I am unpacking all my gear from being in the field the last few days.  We marched off early Monday morning.  After almost 4 hours we arrived at our Bivouac site where we would conduct our phase 3 FTX (field training ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=252 Last couple days have been pretty fun.  Yesterday we had convoy live fire.  That's where we got broken up into groups of three, get in a hummer, go flying through the woods down a narrow road, jump out of the hummer, engage targets with your M16, get attacked by a ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=250 Hey everyone, it's been a few days.  I've been pretty busy.  I think the last time I talked to ya'll I had just finished stuffing my face with junkfood.  Unless I wrote ya'll since then but I don't think I did.  Anyways, on Monday we got fitted for our class ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=248 Where do I even start.  I have literally never eaten so much food in a single day, ever.  We were put on our first post pass today from 10am til 4:30pm.  I got a taxi and went straight to Starbucks.  There I ate a cinnamon roll and had the biggest ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=246 Didn't get around to writing yesterday.  I went and donated blood and that is about it.  Today has been pretty miserable.   I'm sure you are getting tired of hearing me say that but the weather here is just awful.  Today it has been pouring almost constantly and we have been ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=244 Today was pretty miserable.  We did a 10K road march to our training which took about 2 and a half hours.  That part really wasn't bad.  It gave me time to think and keep to myself.  It was another tactical ruck march which meant we were spread out.  Just like ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=242 No blog yesterday.  Pretty uneventful day.  Went to church, cleaned the barracks, then had personal time during the evening.  I had my phone for a few hours yesterday, that was nice.  I got to talk to my family and a few friends. Today has been just about as boring as yesterday ... http://www.michaeljdunn.com/?p=240
