Hey lucky followers and readers of our foibles, im the new guy
Wow thanks K for letting me in on the good stuff. a way to drop those F bombs we want to say in a nice safe place. first i'd like to say great blogs i can feel the emotion and see the imagery. im not as eloquent. I came from a small unit where logic and common sense prevailed where you were treated like a big boy u made ur own decisions and were trusted. here in this unit I need to be ten minutes prior to ten minutes prior to an accoutability formation where after we do PT for parapalegics. yay! say the unfit, this is great stuff say some. K and I laugh. maybe if they had worked out in the past two years they wouldnt hurt so much. I overheard one soldier say "I dont workout because ill get sore" Im gonna get right down to it most of the stuff were doing is check the box. I dont mind the BS just do it and get it over with but there are somethings I do take serious, things that can keep u alive like physical training my preference is crossfit and olympic lifting. unfortunately crossfit is not on the iphone app that "they" use to conduct PT. "we all should be experts" says one NCO as he fumbles with his phone during a demonstartion of how PT should be conducted. laughable. "dont lock ur elbows at the bottom of a pullup, thats bad" why may I ask? did you read that in muscle and fitness (a.k.a myth and fiction). all this can be minimalized and rationalized using my great zen patience, but why when I got this great blog to "keep it real". hey I cant forget the other reason we are using this blog, to keep friends and family informed. On that note "Hi mommy baby, I miss you!" for those that havent been deployed being away from family is the hardest part. saying good bye. knowing that your one year old daughter is gonna grow up a year without you. and not being able to support my wife as she is in the last trimester of pregnancy. by the way its a BOY! its easy to focus on the negative as you saw in the former run on sentences but its hard to be negative when you have something like a baby coming. I should also b thankful i dont have to sit in those dog and pony, lip servicing, yes-man meetings K so very much enjoys.
by the way I like PINK
Masterful. Congrats man, that little dude is going to be head-to-toe pink, super supple for life, and well fed. Very envious of the lifestyle. Welcome to the team, great intro.
