My Dear neglected Journal.
I sit at work late at night thinking I'll write something. Or something happens and for the moment I feel I want to update... but never do.

My old layout was super messed up at work when I viewed you so I deleted it. Its time for a change anyway. For now it'll just be... very basic, and will probably stay that way as I have no desire to do anything HTML/Web buiding/Graphic related atm.

what to do... what to do.

Overheard an interesting convo tonight. A Marine talking to a new Corpsman about how the Marines give no thought of the Navy for the most part. No respect for what they do i guess. But when it comes to Corpsman, they absolutely respect and almost worship them. Not only have they gone through Navy Bootcamp as well as a modified Marine Bootcamp (shorter, and mostly to learn the Marine side things... and guns, still have to pass a Marine PRT which is basically double what the Navy requires: 3mile run instead of 1.5, and includes pullups)... they Earn the Gold Eagle and Anchor, something very 'sacred' (in a way) for Marines, but theyre doing Marine jobs and out there saving those who are injured (fallen), dragging them to saftey and saving their lives. Its like 2 jobs and they greatly respect that. He said he'd proudly take a bullet for the Corpsman anyday, and many have. Sure then the Corpsman would have to turn around and dig it out... but he'd be alive to do so. Altho he wasnt talking to me, made me smile and feel good for a few mins.

Time to draw up some blood....
