Back from the brink of death
Well, a few nights ago was my first air assault mission. What does this mean? Well we waited until late at night and then rode helicopters to visit a bad guys house. We started kicking in doors and everything. Unfortunatly none of the bad guys were home (it was their house though and given what we found they were clearly bad) so all we succeeded in doing was scaring the crap out of a bunch of women and kids.
The following day was terrible. I got what my platoon calls "Saddam's Revenge." We are not entirely sure what it is but everyone gets it. I felt like hell and I threw up EVERYTHING. I even tried sipping on water and threw that up. We had to give me an IV and emptied 3 freakin bags into me. It was awful. I started dividing my earthly possesions among my platoon in preperation for the end.
Today I'm feeling significantly better. I can move around and even succeeded in keeping a little food down for breakfast. It is lunch time now, the question is do I feel adventurous enough to try and grab lunch? Or is that just pushing my luck and asking for trouble?
