"Things went from bad to worse. On the mile walk to chow, someone in the back of the line punched someone's tooth out. The police-"

"got involved and started an investigation. I didn't see what happened, cause I was at the front of the line. Again 200 people."

When he was attacked, I was just trying not to puke my guts out. And the fact that everyone was dressed exactly the same, with their faces covered, I couldn't get a lot of information. I only started to understand what happened when the guy who was assaulted told me before he left.

"While the police were investigating everyone who was at the back of the line (because nobody wanted to say who did it), the front of the line went to go eat. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I just went to the restroom and waited until chow was over."

While I had the flu, I felt as though I was going to die in there. I even broke down crying, think that.

"After chow, the petty officer allowed anyone who needed, to go to tranquility. So, I decided to bite the bullet and just get covid tested. Even just getting tested gives me 3 days of being SIQ, so it's better than dealing with a pissed off petty officer."

That was the main reason I decided to get tested. I did not want to deal with the petty officers or the police. And I get to sleep all day.

"And because of the fight, we all lost our TV privileges, and they denied us our phone call we were suppose to get. I was going to call my mom today. I haven't called yet."

I was getting very depressed over how little I talked to my family. I haven't even received any letters from them at this point.

"I'm now at tranquility, again. This time though, it would seem I have an appointment at SMART (psychical theropy). I'm here because of the first fall I had, that sent me to SEP. It's getting annoying going back and forth from one side of the base to the next."

That was my second visit to tranquility that day. So, I walked a mile to chow in the morning, walked back to the compartment after eating (and dealing with the investigation), then went back almost the full mile to reach tranquility. After all that walking in the freezing cold I had to walk to the compartment only to be told that I had an appointment. So, I walked the mile again. I hated it.

"I decided to bring this log everywhere I go, because of what happened. This log is also a good way of relieving some stress. I try my best to not let my emotions effect this log, so it can be as accurate as it can get. But I;m sure there are some logs in here with my feeling mixed in. I am human after all."

Yes you are. And that's probably why you wrote that corny line in there. That's embarrassing. And no, it isn't just some logs, almost all of them have your "feelings" in them.

"YAY!!! I'm SIQ. I get to stay in bed all day, and the petty officers can't do anything about it.

I am going to miss out on the interesting chow time. But whatever."

One of the best things that happened in there. I got to stay in bed so much and sleep all day.
