Question

by the by I am in the U.S. Army and just started Air Assault school today

Answer 1

I was going to say exercise until I saw where you are in an intensive school. I would try getting away from post as much as possible even if it just to walk around a park or mall. Get with some buddies to socialize together - especially if you have many in your dorm that are there for the same reason - comradarie is a great stress reliever. Also Air Assault will not kill you nor will your instructors, even though it may feel like it sometimes. My dh loved it when he went through several years ago. If you feel truly overwhelmed ask for help, instructors would rather help you than recycle or kick you out. If you like to play sports see about getting in pick up games of basketball or any team sports that might be available. A trip to the gym might be the ticket as well if that is your thing. It is about finding things you like to do and finding the time - it is important to make time for yourself which helps your stress level.
