I'm Home Now
« on: August 13, 2008, 08:55:10 PM »
Back from Ft Sam Houston.

I finished all the academic requirements but I got punted because I'm still unable to use the arm well enough to due the "trauma lanes" i.e. simulated casualty triage and treatment. I'm kinda bummed; as much as I hated that place I was very close to finishing with honors and I had grown close to many of my fellow soldiers. I feel as if I've left behind my wardawgs in the middle of a fight. They paid me the honor of signing my class t-shirt, a thing that hadn't happened even though the original company size has been reduced from 480 to just over 370. I am equally honored and humbled to say the least.

I've still got about 3 months healing ahead of me but when I'm done I can go back and pick-up where I left off. Alas, the training NCO at my home unit was giving me a ration of crap about coming home with being fully MOS qualified. He wanted to leave me there to rot for an extra 4 months until I could be returned to duty. The National Guard liaison basically said he was ignorant and crazy and would deal with him but now that I'm home I have to deal with him as well. We'll see how that fight goes.

oy!

Adventures abound.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
