Well I did it today, I went sky diving.
We were supposed to jump yesterday, but the class took too long, we were running out of daylight, and the winds picked up too much. Since Leon was taking an AFF class, and I had to sit thru it, half way thru I was like, well fuck, why dont I just do a solo jump too? Well any ways, I got up in the plane and pussed the fuck out. Shame!!!
My only redemption? I had to get back up there. I had to pay thru the arse, but I went up again, except this time for a tandem jump. So, with someone else there to basically push me, out we went! And it was fabulous! I'm glad I did it it, but after jumping, I was glad I didnt do the solo, because there was no way I would have been able to go thru the procedures necessary up there. The first 4 seconds or so my eyes were completely shut!



Ok, time to plug the company:

16 days and a wake up and I get to come back home again...honestly right now knowing that xmas exodus is so damn close is all that keeps most of us going.
The last few weeks have been hard, frustrating, everything all in one.....and the army wonders why all of their soldiers smoke and drink like theres no tomorrow.
The army will give support for almost anything you need...physical rehabilitation if u get hurt, substance abuse programs, financial assistance, whatever, but if u need any kind of mental health support you're SOL. But thats the army's job right? they try and try to break you, because you can't do this job and be mentally weak. So friday nights its all about being at the bar, monday thru friday that 2 hours of personal time we get if we're lucky is all about getting as far away as you can chain smoke and try to get yourself right so you can face the company again and not go crazy.
Any ways in whiskey training now. the other day we had to give eachother intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intra dermal shots..scary shit. the next day we did nasopharangeal airway adjuncts. Nothing like having a thick plastic tube shoved up your nose. The real scary one is in a few days we'll be giving IV's...I so dont truct my partner to put anythiing straight into my vein, I'm pretty much guranteed to pass the fuck out for that one.....did I mention that when she was giving me a shot she let go of the needle and let it dangle in my arm!!!!!!!
