I'm still sore. What from, you ask? My dear, the answer to that is simple.
Beating the shit out of a Navy SEAL.
See...June 29th I went up to the Military Entrance Processing station in Jacksonville. My conversation with the Navy Liason went thusly.
Me: "So I take it you won't deploy me on subs 'cause I'm a girl, right?"
Him: "Yes, that's right...you know, there are plenty of jobs you can do on a base."
Me: "Any chance you might deploy me as a SEAL?"
-interrupt with approximately five minutes of raucous laughter-
Me: "What's funny?"
-more laughter, eventually dying down-
Him: "Tell you what...if you can beat this guy here, I'll billet you with the SEALS."
Me: "Okay, sounds easy enough."
Him: "He's been a SEAL instructor for four years."
Me: "Riiiight...can I get that promise in writing?"
Him: *snicker* "Sure, little missy, I'll write it up for you."
I hate being called "little missy".
So the match was today. I'd been excited for a while; not every day you go hand to hand with a government trained strike force member.
I ended up with a dislocated shoulder, dislocated shoulder, and four out of five victories.
I'm so pumped.
