Warthog is on a distinguished road
Back in New England

Got 10 days of leave (week from Tuesday I need to report @ Ft. Myer) - woohoo!

FINALLY done with freaking training, granted I'll be doing on the job training when I get to my unit but that's totally different.

Great to be back...dog, stereo, family, friends, my OWN computer with no damn $7.20/hr, xbox, etc. etc.

Was really awesome to graduate Airborne School on the 59th Anniv. of D-Day, home to the largest airborne invasion in history. During graduation, I tried to imagine exacltly 59 years ago, what it would be like...I'll never stop respecting our vets.

Hope everyone had a great day

Time to get some sleep...been up for 22h

lol, yup got the marks on my chest to prove I got bloodwings

Jumping...what a freaking rush. Everytime I'd jump out of that C-130, I'd shut my eyes 'til the chute opened - I hate the feeling of falling...you weren't supposed to but I did it anyway. We ended up not doing the last jump at night...fine with me, lol. Airborne School was a great experience, better than 17 weeks of basic/AIT. We had officers, NCOs and others who had been in the Army awhile, not just like me who were fresh out of AIT. The people there were great - not freaking whussy's here unlike basic/AIT....it definately requires a different breed of person to jump out of airplanes.

Oh yeah, can't forget the shotty...I cycled the action a few times for old times sake. And I finally have a knife in my pocket for teh first time in 5 months - w00t.

Thanks for the congrats

Warthog

PS - I love the sound of bass in the morning *kisses subwoofer*
