Well I'm less than a week from leaving again, I'm very excited about goin down there, and not only cause it's gonna be so freakin nice and warm! and I cant wait to go down there and do a certain exercise! all I can say is that I will get to do my job ;) I shot the MK 46 machine gun yesterday, it was a lot of fun! there's nothing like shooting a big machine gun, the feeling of power, invincibility. Just the feeling of the gun rattling and bangin against my shoulder is great! There isn't ANYTHING that is a better release for stress! I've been pretty stressed lately but after shooting the 46 I felt great! It shoots the same size rounds as the M-16 (5.56 MM0 but at a much higher rate of fire and with a heavier weapon for better control of fully automatic firing. Then today I went back to the range and shot the 9MM pistol. As much as I love the machine guns, the 9 is my favorite weapon the military employs. the feel of the pistol on your hip is very fulfilling, I think maybe that feeling is part of the reason I wanna be a cop! But it's also because I'm a great shot with the pistol, today I shot a 220 (out of 240), not as good as I hoped, but I'm sick, that's my excuse. I wanna go back and shoot again, I think I can get perfect pretty easily if I'm at the top of my game health wise and all. The guy next to me really sucked it up though, his rounds were all spread out, most of mine were bullseye! I dont mean to brag, but I'm just proud of my shooting talents with the pistol! especially when I shoot with my right hand using my left eye. I feel like I haven't talked to Amber in forever, I had to stay on the boat last night and didn't get to talk to her and only did for a few minutes this morning before work, I hope I get to talk to her soon, I miss her little voice! ok, anyways, I just got home after being at work for 2 days so I'm gonna get something to eat and slip into relaxation routine.
