May 18th: Armed Forces Day

So the Doolittle Raiders are in town

for their 71st and final reunion this week. I’m hoping to make my way around all the festivities today that they are having. && if I just happen to find $425 dollars on the ground, I’ll then be able to take a ride in the B-25. I’m rather excited

but first I must get my hair done :))

Never Been More Sure.

Coming from a small town in Texas, it was easy to get close to everyone and I’ve developed a lot of close relationships from bonfires, football games, hunting, fishing, and all that so it’s really hard to let everyone know that I’m leaving for the military for 4 years, but it has to be done.

The way I see it, there are jobs that people want and there are jobs that people don’t want. The jobs that people don’t want are usually the jobs that somebody HAS to do. I’m willing to put my life on the line to protect others and that’s why I’ll be a law enforcement officer in the long run and that’s why I’ve decided to go military for the next 4 years instead of college.

Feel free to ask questions.

The part that scares me is I feel like I am growing numb to it all. In the beginning, my stomach used to churn when I saw a dead person, and the results of such violence seemed to haunt me. Now though, it is different. I barely even seem to care. It is almost as if they are not even human to me anymore, and I am not sure where I lost that. I think it is an internal defense to dehumanize these situations to make them easier to deal with.

I do respect all those who serve. But if you’re a sailor, or an airman, and you’re claiming that you are “fighting for our country”, you are full of fucking shit and I will call you out on it.

Marines and (sometimes) Soldiers are the ones fighting for us. Marines go in first and make things safe, then Soldiers go in and continue the fight.

What a fucking moron.

Odd. If Navy Seals fall under the Navy, and Sailors are Navy, doesn’t that make Navy Seals sailors? the logic. I know of some airmen that just got back from deployment in Afghanistan but I’m sure they weren’t over there defending our country, they were probably just playing charades or something ya know. How dare they.

and sometimes soldiers?
