Finally! Something to write about! Yesterday we stared Combatives (think MMA if they actually wanted you to kill your opponent), had a Pugil Stick competition (I kicked my Battle Buddy's butt, thank you very much, though he got in tow or three face shots), did the Grenade Range today (I got to throw an additional two thanks to an awesome Drill Sergeant), AND got punched in the face by a platoon mate who didn't like hearing that he couldn't have seconds. Of cake.
All in all, an eventful couple of days. My jaw is sore, my body exhausted and my hear pumped back up from four huge explosions.
Standing in the shower later this evening, this line from Quigley Down Under rolled through my head as I massaged my jaw: "I wish people would quit hitting me in the head."
The rest of the scene flashed through my head and I started giggling. Just then, Reineking walked by, saw me and shook his head. Apparently, standing naked in the middle of a shower room, snickering into a towel looks...weird?
I don't care. The quote made my night.
Now, two hours later, the guy who socked me is still getting smoked by the Drill Sergeants, who say they're going to "keep him up all night".
I'm gonna sleep well tonight.
