Hopefully you didn't get hurt too badly on taxes this year. I'm still waiting on my W-2's.

Much needed three day weekend.

That gives you a bit more time to heal up and study.

I'm getting a nice sized piece of my money back, so at least there's that

I wish I had Monday off, an extra day off would be nice

Exactly MB. I will spend this off time healing and catching up and maybe getting ahead on the assignments. I have to give a graded class on the M2 machinegun next week.

I also have a few essays and an oral pressentation on Marine Corps history.

Sounds like they have your time off planned pretty well.

A lot if not most of the other sergeants left for Vegas, San Diego, LA etc. I will hold off on the fun until I am done here.

Probably a smart move on your part.

Yeah, but I am going to make time to unwind

haha, Many many times in the military, there is no such thing as "Your" time!
