Crankin

Mar 10, 2004 10:20

Well, I get underway for a few days next week and I'll be cranking. I'm not gonna go into detail about what cranking is, but basically I'll be working in the Galley, doing dishes and crap. It's something all Nub's have to do at one point or another. So my time is now. So I had duty yesterday, I went into work at 0700 as always, and then was sent to Shoot the 12-guage Shotgun to get qualified on it. I was hoping we'd get to shoot the M-16 as well, but we didn't have enough time, so I'll hopefully do that in a few weeks when I do the 9MM. But I had forgotten how much fun it is to shoot. The 12guage qualification shoot is very easy, it's 10 rounds, 4 kneeling, 4 standing, and 2 shot from the hip. And even though I was only able to shoot the 10 rounds I got the bug now, I can't wait to go back and shoot again! hopefully shoot the MK-46 and/or M-60 machine guns. I had to memorize the definition of Deadly Force last night word for word "Force that a person uses causing, or that a person knows or should know would create a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily harm. It's use is justified only under conditions of extreme necessity, as a last resort when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed." it's wording sucks as you can tell so it was a pain in the ass to memorize, but By God I got it!

OH, I have my motorcycle reserved at Honda of Russellville! I got the financing and put a security deposit down so that they will hold it for me! I'm getting a Pearl Dark Blue 2004 Honda VTX 1300 Retro! Go to

Dad is buying an identical bike only his is gonna be red! I'm stoked cause Dad and I will be ablt to go cruising around lookin good on our bikes! I'm not sure which of us is more excited!

OH, I got rid of my old bike, or am getting rid of it rather. a guy off my bike is wanting a bike to learn on and I'm just gonna straight up give it to him, since it only cost me 300 bucks and all it's doing is costing me money for storage, so if I give it to him then I'll be set!

I'm gonna be random, cause Cari is right, it is fun.
