Today was a good day! the first thing i had to do today (besides wake up) was go zero my M4 at the range. I zeroed in the first 12 rounds! yippie. Then i got to relax!
Right now i am sitting in the PX and just monkeying around on the computer. I thought i should leave a lil note. I am in good spirits, the whole part of me leaving has hit me, but hasn't really sunk in yet. I feel like im on a working vacation. It feels weird, Like i should be sadder then i am, or more upset with the military. At the same time-- i know this is something i wanted, and something that will benefit me.
I also want to give props to my uncle Paul, he is amazing, and knows what he is talking about when it comes to the military. He also watches out for me too! and i love him for that. He has been making plans for me on my pass ( that i may get) with one of his friends. His friend is going to show me the city of El paso... so i am super excited!!
Like always i miss everyone, and am sorry i dont write as much as i should... its just really busy for me here. I promise to write more when things slow down, but until then i am going to go... and be on my way.
Take care-- God Bless-- I love you All VERY much!

LIFE SUCKS!!
Ok so in the last month i have been training. doing basic stuff like detaining, restricting, and unarmed self defense. It is all really fun, but a lot of it is common sense!! WELCOME TO THE MILITARY i guess.
Well yesterday was one of the worst days of my life! I got oc sprayed aka pepper sprayed. all i can say is FUCK MY LIFE!! it was the worst pain i have ever felt in my entire life. It felt like someone was poking my eyes out from the inside with pins. then we had to go through a lane with the oc in our eyes and the first step was to take a guy down using the arm bar, the second was to use the baton and swing back and forth, the third step was to keep 2 attackers back, then the thrid was to block, and the forth was a take down with the baton. The decon would have to be the worst part of everything tho. we rinsed our eyes, and put baby shampoo in them... like literlly in our eyes! then went in front of a fan. mind you, you can not see a damn thing. so then i knelt near a wall and tried to cry it out of my eyes. well i started throwing up and then i passed out. ICK! when i got back to "camp" i took a shower, which reactivated the stuff! OUCH!
today, i got tazed! that was not that bad. it just felt like tons of electricity running thorugh your body. it actually helped my soar back! yippie!!
I get to take a written test tomorrow on detainee operations. im excited about it! i have been doing out standing here. i have been actually doing above and beyond.
I miss you all, and it is hard being here, but this is something i want to do. As bad as it sounds they are keeping me sooooo busy, that i can barly do anything else. That kinda sucks, but it also makes me not miss home as much. i mean i think about home and all my family, friends, and everyone else all the time i do get.
