Today, we woke up late. All of the other soldiers were asleep when I woke up. I hit Roberto and Carlos on their ribs to wake them up. After we woke up, we rolled up our blankets, and started to talk. We talked about the people we killed last night, and I had actually killed one man, and I couldn't believe it. Later that morning, we started to have wrestling competitions amongst ourselves, because the Sergeant or the captain hadn't ordered us to do anything. I was the first person to wrestle, with another guy named Eduardo. We fought for about five minutes, and then I threw him on the ground, and he gave up because I had a grapple locked on him. I thought that the training that the army had given us was useful, because If we didn't have a weapon, and we had to fight another bigger person, we could knock them down easily with all of the moves. Later that day, after lunch, captain told us that we were going to learn martial arts, so we could be better at fighting. We learned how to kick, punch and doge well. We also learned to jump high, and do stunts. Then we were taught how to fight using all of the things we had learned. We learned how to combine a stunt, and a kick, and how to fake an attack. After learning all of the new things we were all tired.
For the rest of the day we were told to practice all of the things we had learned. My friends and I had another competition using martial arts. I was good at it, I won a match against Carlos. At around six we were told to eat dinner which was meat, and some tortillas. It was wonderful. It had been a long time since I had meat. After finishing our dinner, we were told to go to sleep.
