OK....been a long time. Here goes.
I joined the Army. I shipped out in January and I got injured in training. No biggie. I get fucked in my training company because they didn't give out convalescent leave. Cool, I can hack it. Sure it sucked but that's life. So I go to PTRP (phys therapy) and try to get rehabed. No biggie there either, except after 2 months I'm still having pain standing up and running so the Army decides that I have a choice to make either take a negative chapter or go through the Medical Evaluation Board process. Um, easy choice there. General discharges or uncharacterized discharges aren't my idea of fun so eff that I'll go through the long and arduous M.E.B. process. Did that from May until yesterday and now I'm home. A disabled vet... fuck my life (training company motto I shit you not) I have 9 months of stories from Ft. Benning. I loved every minute of that place even when I was at my worst and wanted to quit I always pushed myself that much harder. I learned a lot there. I got put in a leadership roll at the PTRP company...never would have seen that coming in a million years but I did what was expected of me and the Drill Sergeants respected me for that. Even the C.O. was impressed and told me to my face...which fucking surprised the shit out of me. Did something right in my life for a change. I love the Army. You will never hear me say a bad word about my experiences there except for the fucking quitters and chapters are retards. I loved the training and everything else. It was my dream to be infantry it sucks at the moment that dream is over...but we'll see what happens next.
Interesting fact:
You can fit a bunk mattress in a wall locker. I may or may not have done that to another guy who spread rumors and bs. I may have also made him search the entire bay looking for it.
