Passed the last MOD with an 88 and the Final today with a 96. The hands on assessments are tomorrow and Thursday which I'm not too worried about.

NREMT Test is the Thursday after this one, I've picked up a study guide recommended to me by other medics to prepare myself.

Injuries are pretty much healed but I'm going to wait another week or two as broken bones can be tricky and I really don't want to be set back any further.

Interestingly enough I saw a Ranger at reception today, tan beret and it appeared that he was scrolled but I didn't have an opportunity to speak with him. Battles buddies that I have spoke with him and he said that the training was "easy", I was suprised to see the tan beret in a training environment to say the least.
I could have sworn I told you to shut the fuck up until you were done training a week ago.

No, wait. I did.

Ranger175csar,

I exaggerated the extent of my injuries and lied about some of the PT we did at reception before moving over to our station for training.

I have no excuse and don't know what came over me, this is not in my character at all and I can do nothing but apologize for wasting everyone's time.

It's a lesson learned and on 91W orders I won't be posting on here, rather studying. It's already shown drastic improvements in the last test I took.

Once again I apologize to everyone on the board, there's no excuse for what I did and I feel like a complete cock sucker for it.
Glad you learned something.

Now shut the fuck up. Don't reply with "Roger Ranger EvilCouch; shutting up" or something along those lines, just shut the fuck up and hit the goddamned books. If you're going to be a medic, you'd better know your shit or you're going to fucking kill another soldier with your incompetence.

Sill and partied for two days in town then reported in on Sunday when my orders stated (per a Captain's orders who was on the plane with me just back from Iraq.) Great town.

Beleive it or not AIT is MURDER compared to basic training. The first day we were here PT was a frigg'n holocaust, 600 somthing push ups, 300 somthing cobra push ups, a 12 mile run and muscle failure exercises we'd never even heard of!

Our bodies are adjusting now and I'm glad that they work us so hard, the cadre here do more in an hour then the cadre at Ft. Sill did in 3 months, it's fantastic to finally have somone to look up to that actually seems to care about the soldiers under them.

A bone scan revealed I have an acute fracture to my left calcanus (heel bone), the Cpt. working on me at PT said it looks like somone took a steel toe boot and kicked it to snap it. I also have stress fractures to the femoral neck of my right hip as a result of having a broken calcanus for so long.

They wanted to send me to Golf company for PTRP but I have no pain and my bones are almost healed, I had to prove it to the senior Drill SGT. by jumping around before she was convinced I'm healing at a quick rate and my Physical Therpist thinks I'll be fine in two weeks, only profile I'd accept is a no impact exercises and no running profile, they wanted me on crutches at first.

Anyway, things are good here, the PT is awesome and we're getting a head start on classes because of how long we're being held at Reception, we'll be shipping on Sunday, can't wait! I've heard the company we're in is hardcore, most of the soldiers I've talked to who are graduating from it went into extended scale PT!

Post more when they allow it.

Passed my NREMT certification today. Working on CBURN and Sick Call Protocals now. 83% pass rate for the entire company.

Started running again today, sore but no noticable pain to my hip or calcanus which is a great sign.

Was confronted by my Drill SGT. voicing concerns over a noticable decline in my motivation and discipline levels. After a long talk about what it means to be an IET soldier versus what the real army is like I'm getting back on track. Have to write two 1000 word essay's on Duty and Respect tonight.

Nothing else to report.

Kianna reminds me of my ex with gynormous titties, however the best footage I have seen lately are Lucy Lee and Charmane getting it on together. I always thought that heaven looked something like that.
