1.5 miles in 9minutes is good time.FuzzySeduction said:Wow, I'm very glad you gave me an awesome reason to skip a useless Philosophy class!
=D.
I just wanted to say you know, that I was curious about the questions people would ask and what would be answered. I got sucked in! A lot of the questions asked were questions that I also had.
Personally I know I'd never be able to even pass the fitness requirements. I've always marveled at people who could run a mile in five minutes.
xD.
Hmmm, but I guess I do have a question. How's this medical leave going? Do you have to go home or somewhere else for it? And if so, do you miss your buddies and is it hard falling out of that routine you'd established before?
I also agree with you about grenades. While I've never had to handle a live one or anything of course, I found myself to be incredibly uneasy when I was shown a deactivated one. Just the feel of it made me nauseous.
To put it bluntly. It sucks. You spend a few weeks doing mission specific training and getting ready for a deployment and when I finally got there I was sent back after two weeks. Normally a shrapnel wound wouldn't be enough to warrant a return, but...following my old trait of "unluckiest person ever" It hit muscle, currently on crutches as I can't stand on my left leg.
I spent a week in the military hospital, having my leg put back together again and am currently waiting out a one month leave. It's worse because I can't do anything to take my mind of it. I've just got to sit around and let my leg heal. I get the occasional phone call from the lads, letting me know how they're getting on which makes it worse because I want to be out there with them.
