Daily Scheudle: Red Phase

I got a letter from Patrick today that outlined their daily schedule.  I decided to put in on the blog so you could have a better idea of what Patrick's daily schedule looks like (more or less).

4:10- Wake up early to make their beds and do personal hygeine (shave, brush teeth, etc.)
4:30- Official wake up time.  The Drill Sergeant Roes comes in, turns on the lights, tells a few jokes, and instructs them on their first formation.
4:50- First formation or PT formation.  They have to be dressed in their PT uniforms with their flashlights, canteens, road guard something (I couldn't read this very well), and their gun. This is when formation officially starts, so they have to be there standing at attention no later than 4:40.
5:00- 1SG comes and receives a report  from each platoon.  They need to know how many people that are in their platoon and how many weapons they have been assigned.
5:10-6:00- PT.  Nothing strenuous so far, but this is coming from Patrick.  :)  sometimes they do interval runs.
6:00-6:15- Change clothes for breakfast formation.
6:15-6:45- March 1/2 a mile to the dining hall.  They stand in line for about 20 minutes and eat in about three.  Then they break for formation.
6:45-7:00- March to instructional area.
7:00-9:00- Block on instruction.  so far, it's been "death by power point."
9:00-9:15- Bathroom break
9:15-10:45- Block of instruction
10:45-11:00- Formation for lunch and march to lunch
11:00-11:30- Lunch
11:30-11:40- March to classroom
11:40-11:55- Bathroom break
11:55-2:00- Block of instruction
2:00-2:15 Bathroom break
2:15-4:00- Block of instruction
4:00-4:20- March to the barracks
4:20-5:00- Meet in the platoon bays for specific platoon instructions
5:00-5:15- Secure gear and clean bay
5:15-5:30- Dinner formation and march to chow
5:30-6:00- Dinner
6:00-6:20- March back to barracks and fall into platoon bays
