Default i completed basic training

Back in march I signed up for the army and on july 7 I went to ft. benning, GA to train to become an infantryman and I graduated on october 23. Being there and around a bunch of new people was tough at first but as time went on I made friends and I've become a lot more confident in myself. A couple of friends told me when they first met me, I would barely say anything but now I was really talkative and confident. A couple of days ago a girl I knew from my school called me and asked me to come to a school play with her and I did. I was nervous but I had good time, we talked and I saw some other people that I kind of knew and talked to them too. I'm not sure if I'm completely cured of SA but I know I've gotten considerably better at socializing with others and being less nervous around people.

I'm getting stationed in texas so my goal for when I get there is to go out on my first date. If I can survive ft. benning, surely I can get a date.
