I had a long update all typed up and then I pressed a few buttons and somehow I ended up going to a new website, erasing it all. Too much weapons training; my instant action drills don't work on a fragile keyboard.. It's been a while since I last posted, and I have been training constantly since. Tw...

The way things are going here, chances are I good that I could get sent to Kandahar in 2007. Not a moment too soon I think. If I could, I would want to serve in Iraq with the Americans for a tour, because I would feel proud to do such a thing. The training is going almost too easy it seems. The firs...

I have almost completed 4 weeks of basic training, and I am taking a quick break while getting ice for my knee. I have learned a few essential lessons so far while I've been here: 1. Learn to shut the fuck up. Don't ask stupid questions, everything you need to know will be explained to you. 2. RESPE...

The program has almost doubled the number of pushups I can do (in a month). That's not saying much, but I'm getting there. I leave for training on Saturday, but b...
