March 30, 2009

We went to victory Hammer! Everyone marched of course, but I had to go to the doctor. Found out I had an ingrown hair that got infected from rubbing on my IBA they had to remove it with no local or anything, hurt like a son of a bitch, but doc said because I was on top of it I saved myself a lot of pain. It was on my lower stomach and heading for inside so I guess DS's do know what they are talking about. I'm glad he made me go.
OK back to Victory Hammer...It was fun as hell! When I got there we were clearing with blanks in our weapons. We set up our hooches (ponchos tied to 4 trees and you sleep under them) NO TENTS! Some females were freaking out I loved it. I miss camping. Just missed the food and campfire. We slept 2 to a little camp. All 50 of us in a circle facing out to protect our base camp. All the while DS's would be throwing granades at us and we all hit the dirt. We all walked about 1 mile full battle in the dark in the woods with no light or sound. It was cool! The funny part was all the females when we got back worried about bugs getting on them LOL and a few males too. We had 3 sleeping bags, a light one, a water proof one, and a cold weather one. I slept on top of wet weather and cold weather one in the light one in my tshirt. I tried to tell everyone that sleeping in your clothes is a bad idea but come morning they realized they should have listened. Now they are cold because they just got out of hot sleeping bags and then clothes are wet from sweat LOL The DS told them all they were crazy later. WOW! I guess the old lady does know a thing or two. BTW...the only female in my platoon close to my age is 22 so I am atleast 11 years older than all the females in my platoon.
