OP: Corona Bluff

Went out to Nevada this weekend to do a lil airsoft war simulation.

Packed the car up and headed out Friday evening. Stopped at the Dublin Hooters for dinner, then headed on out to our hotel in Sparks. I drove straight thru and got there around midnight....unfortunately, the other party didn't arrive til 0100, so we had to wait in the parking lot for them.


Up bright and early saturday, we headed to our camp ground. Met up with the rest of the players and got ready for that mornings mission.

Here's a shot from above of the camp ground:

The game was U.S. Forces vs. OP4, or ACU"s vs. others LOL. I traded to the OP4 team so I could be with the group I came with. The little action I saw was pretty fun. After about an hour I was soaked in sweat and pretty much over it. The heat was really miserable all weekend. I was resting in the Humvee when a Jeep from the opposing team came running through calling for the medic..that's me! One of their guys had fallen and hit his head...they thought a possible concussion. We headed back to camp and I checked him out. He was ok. Just got a nice knocking around. I hung out with him for the rest of the afternoon mainly, just incase. (plus I didnt really want to go back out LOL)

Eventually another guy from our group came back and we decided to go hiking around the rock in our camp. Pretty amazing up there, and a little bit cooler! I'm surprised I actually went up there considering what a nerd I am about heights.

After the mission was over the troops returned and we brought out the real steel. I shot Ben's no where close to stock AR-15, and Alan's 700PSS. I have a nice reminder on my shoulder / collar bone area from that 700.

Next came the feast.....these boys sure do go all out. I mean I brought some steaks and some corn....they had Fettucine Alfredo, sausages, tri-tip, beans, salad, mashed potatoes, the works! It was amazing!! After we were all fat and happy, they busted out a projector and played "Patton". I could only stay up for about an hour of it, definitely have to finish watching it another day.

Crawled up in my nice new tent and drifted away.....of course thats when the aches from the day started to really be felt. I walked away from the weekend with only a few bruises and scrapes. I did hit my left knee kinda hard when I dropped down to get cover and slammed it on a rock. That one should feel nice for several days :)

Thats basically it. We hit up Cabelas on our way outta town (fabulous store) and that was that!

now a few more pics from the trip:

UGH!!!
So been sick all last week....very annoying, mainly just because it meant a set back in gym progress. Felt better yesterday, ran some errands with my mom and bro. Went to the surplus store and got some goodies for our mission..which as of today looks like it will be cancelled. Went to CycleGear to check out some items.....dumb ass manager there came up to me and my mom and asked if we were looking for a gift for someone...thats when we left.

Party in O-town..it was nice. Stayed outside the whole night, talked to some good friends, and actually got home at a decent time, who knew that was possible.

Little unsettled over life right now. On the bright side though I might actually start working next week. YAY money HA HA. Oh I found out too that I wasn not put on the roster for our upcoming AT, so I dont have to go!! Only thing is that I wish I had known earlier, cause I could have taken more classes this quarter then. Guess I'm just blah right now, cant think of anything nice to say really. Oh, plus this B-word of a girl really just pisses me off, she is so gross!!!

OH WELL!!!!

Cinco de mayo...yuck. Just means more riots in San Jose, and another reason for fucktards to be fucktards.
K....woke up witht he worst allergies I've had in a long time. Super snot factory running some overtime!! Met up with mom for lunch, had delicous sammiches. Then had to head to the VA, again, to drop off some papers, again. They annoy me soooooo bad! I can never get an answer as to what is going on, every week theres some new form that they have to have, my HR rep isn't on top of anything, never has any answers except "I don't know". It's been a month already.
I wish I knew they were going to lag this hard, I could have gotten a part time job at least, or taken up another class this quarter. Just a big waste of time.

Ok what else??? Sausage party this weekend, looking forward to it, even if it is in scary Oakland...company will make it worth it. M-day sunday, I got nothing. Titanium's bday Friday, bad cat will be 3 years old already, really need to stop calling him kitten. Guess thats it. Hope to ride more this week, weather is looking pretty good....and I also hope the boy gets a clue soon.

First drill weekend

Just finished my first drill weekend........what a waste of time.
Saturday, lots of standing around, followed by lots of sitting around.
Sunday, briefings, lectures, classes....yawn.

I guess its not always like that, but with AT coming up, new 1SGT, Colonel in town...things got whacky. Ramsay, who I met at phase I was there, pretty cool kid, hung out with him mainly both days. I ono, seems like an Ok unit, but I dont look forward to drilling for the next 4 years. And I most definitely do not look forward to AT in June.

Ass enhancement!

and what a fine ass it is!

Thanks B!!

Still unemployed. Really would have thought I'd be working by now.
Dropped off one more form to the recruiter at the VA this morning, hopefully I should knwo something by Monday.
Drill weekend this week. Kinda nervous, haven't met any of these people before. Can't be all that bad. Formation is at 0715...yuk! At least I'll get paid.
So needing to kick it up seriously on the PT, I'll probably have to test next month. I haven't done any running since I've been home. Well thats a lie, I went once and threw up, so I quit LOL. Been working on my situps and pushups, I can always pass those no problem, being able to max again, well thats another story.
Life is so boring. I need motivation.
I need a lot of things, guess I'll just try to be patient.
