home. looooooong weekend, but mostly fun. Had my training weekend for the Marine Corps reserves for the month. the usual level of running in circles and administrative bullshit. also slept outside last couple of nights. wasn't too bad actually. It got down to about 30 degrees last night, but my sleeping bag was warm enough. the trick is to sleep naked.
seriously.

did a fair amount of running around in the woods. spent some time on a range shooting the M240G machine gun. fun. always seems like there is more stuff to do then we have time for so training was pretty constant. probably slept about 2-3 hours the last two nights.
very tired and sore in a few places, but it was a good training weekend and I am home and have had a hot shower and am awaiting delivery of pizza. (too lazy to cook. too hungry to not eat).

only bad things were being told I had to get my tooth fixed (molar kinda broke) on my own dime so that the Marine Corps can send me overseas to do what I do for them...that's never made sense to me...but I guess I'll have to find out how to go about getting that done.....and my motorcycle which has been acting up throughout the winter developed a leak of some kind while I was away at drill. I am really hoping it is just coolant and not engine oil.

oh and the reason that I wanted to kill my upstairs neighbor (last entry) was for the last week at 445-5am for no apparant reason it sounds like she is getting up and stomping on the floor directly over my bed and then raking something around the room for an hour and then it suddenly stops.

edit: sorry. I seem to give the impression that I am immediately going somewheres with the ol' USMC. not really. they just operate under the mindset that we are always just a phone call away from being told to go somewhere. The last time they gave me this crap about my tooth it was so that they could send me to the dangerous killing fields of Aruba to train for the extensive amount of time of three whole weeks.
