Time Off
We have some time off today. People often ask to go to the PX which seems to irritate the leadership. I don't think the leadership fully understands that asking to go to the PX is basically asking to get out of the barracks for a while for a change of scenery. Further, in the Army, our uniforms, vehicles, and other equipment are all designed to not attract attention, so everything is drab and unstimulating. Conversely, everything at the PX is designed to attract one's attention, with bright colors and sharp lines. It really was refreshing to walk into the PX this morning; it was almost festive.
