Hoping to go out to Rendezvous this year, but don't know if I will be on duty in the tower yet. (Cross your fingers girls) Going ( Read more... )

Ok, so somehow this morning I managed to run the absolute worst PFT of my life. I have NEVER run three miles in more than 24 minutes, today's time was... well, let's just say it was completely unsatisfactory. And crunches, well let's just not go there. I have to re-run it in two weeks (which I would have had to do anyways seeig as the Marines run ( Read more... )

well, we spent our first 4 hours in the simulators last night from 9 pm to about 1 am. i only crashed two planes, and you can be sure i wont make that same mistake again. i have to go tell the marine corps how they underpaid me now and see if we can get it figured out. i also just finished two amazing books by james bradley, flags of our fathers ( Read more... )
