If upon someone's return from war no one is there to greet them, do they have the right to be angry with their friends?
  • Yes
  • No
  • I'm not sure
Has Okcupid stopped with the auto-rejection of questions?

Hands healed...

May 4, 2006

I'm with my unit now getting settled in, I no longer have any missing bits of flesh from pulling the practice risors too many times (those are the straps we pull on to control where the wind takes us, they almost work). My feet hurt from not being allowed to wear real boots (as in ones that were designed for human feet) but otherwise things are good.

I'm just enjoying things as best I can, and yeah, the army might be broke right now.

Ready for jump week

Apr 16, 2006

Tomarrow I will either jump or be thrown out of an airplane at 1250 feet up, falling at a rate of 21 feet per second that means I'll have less than a minute before I hit the ground... Suprisingly this doesn't scare me in the slightest, by the end of the week I'll have earned my blood wings, and if they are not given to me as blood wings I beat them into my own chest without care for possible damages.

The weird thing to consider is that this is the first time during training I'll be in real danger of dying, yet after all the training that has lead to this I just don't believe it could happen, I mean all I've got to do is not break my legs like some idiot, which just means I relax and possibly drink a beer when it's over.

Actually never mind the beer, I only drink on special occasions, and jumping out of airplanes fails to qualify.

Bad days, and weak ribs...

Apr 15, 2006

So it turns out that a broken rib is not the most painful thing in the world like some people claim, I have one, I can even still see the mark where it tried to force up through the skin; it's broken, but it didn't quite snap all the way out of place and theres still enough holding it there that it doesn't hurt to breath (thankfully)... running on the other hand hurts, but thats to be expected.

So why is it that people say a broken rib is so painful? Based on my medical training I'm guessing its a real problem when it's more than just one.

Sucky cell phone

Apr 1, 2006

You ever get a number and a time to call, you enter it into your phone, enter a name, and click save... then you go to call the number and it's not in there anywhere? I hate my phone sometimes, like earlier it wouldn't let me press the event button so I had that annoying word there forever!

Yeah, I probably need a better cell phone.

Airborne starts!

Mar 31, 2006

I have started airborne training... so far it's just paperwork, but everything is ready for the PT test on monday, and 40 of us have already been rejected.

A bunch more will join the "41 club" on monday because they haveto say people failed the test if too many high priorities arrive or some such thing... 41 refers to only getting 41 push-ups.

So wish me luck.

Wisdom teeth and airborne do not mix!

Mar 29, 2006

I got my wisdom teeth removed on friday, and since then I've been taking less than half the doses of the pain meds (maybe a good weekend coming up?), but now I've shipped for airborne school and I have to run everywhere and I'm to proud to pull my profile sheet for anything; so I'm doing a lot more than I should be doing, all I should be doing is healing.

Oh yeah, and people in Fort Sam Houston are mostly full of something along the lines of soft yet warm ice cream... Sorry some lies they told piss me off.

Lockdown

Mar 25, 2006

Welcome to Delta Company 232, Fort Sam Houston, home of the soon to be airborne combat medics, and in my case Ranger...

However, last weekend I did something to keep someone alive, and now I'm in trouble for it because it caused my name to come up in the wrong conversations, so I will not be getting out at all this weekend.

The plus side being that one of my friends is still alive.

Saint Patricks Day ... no beer

Mar 18, 2006

I've decided not to drink anything this weekend to see if it'll change God's mind about me, if God still doesn't consider me worthy than I'll try to act like those drunk drug addicts God loves oh so much.
