There is no threat to peace more constant, dangerous and peculiarly human that the injustices committed daily in god's name.

Mission Objective: Transfer to Detachment 1 - 1159th Medical as a flight medic

Current Status: Semi-retired...again

Monday, October 27, 2003

The first drill as A Company, 226th. Saturday morning unpacking the tools for the Spams (those portable boxes we use as shops), Saturday afternoon in NBC training (that's Nuclear Biological Chemical, not the tv network).

I'm dragging because I was up at 4am yesterday for my PT test (and no, the extra hour didn't really help). I ended up getting stuck on 95 South for over an hour because of an accident. Not only missed APFT but was late for formation too. Like I need that. On the plus side, we actually had some engine work to do.

Trying to decide if I want to stay in for another year. The fam is already giving me a guilt trip about it, because everyone assumes that if I can weasel out of getting deployed, which is only a matter of time, then why wouldn't I? Ugh. I'd be more willing if I didn't have this new job (I hope) where I already will be working every other weekend. It's not even a possibility unless I can transfer to the Med. I have to make some calls today.

Shooting and camping next month. Fun.
