I slept 2.75 hours before reporting to drill. Due to the lack of time and sleep, I left my cell phone charger as well as my driver's license in the car, and to my great surprise, we rode a charter bus four hours to Fort Huachuca. After spending three days doing little more than try to prepare for drill, we worked sixty hours in four days, and I did not have a full night's sleep until I came home.

I keep telling people about the "too much air idea," I brought my laptop to three more stores and two guys at each said the concept was absurd. A guy at the second place suggested doing a hard drive test through CMOS, but my HP hides the bootup behind a splash screen, I tried hitting F2, F8, and Del, but it just loaded Windows.

Dad always bought HP, so Mom knew Staples was an authorized repair center, but the guy there said that every manufacturer gave them problems, they would send in, the products would be gone for months, and then they would say they did not cover whatever it was. It sounded like if the warranty ran out, the customer was out of luck, even if they sent it in in-time. He ran a PC-Doctor hard drive test, which came back without errors. I installed BurnInTest 7.1 and it did not show any errors. I ran it a second time, moving the computer, and then a third time, in my lap, constantly moving my legs, and nothing!

Does it make a difference that I have not used it in two weeks?
