Remembering the forgotten
So I realized I never actually explained that I'm NOT in Peru. The trip fell through and my POC called and suggested that I go on another trip that was sooner and more expensive, which was not amenable to me, so I decided against it.
Additionally, I've outlined two possible courses of action:
-March/April Wilderness EMT, Hang with Uncle Steve in Colorado
-May/June- Missions trip to S America
-June/July/Aug- work: Wilderness Firefighting
-Aug-Dec- work: AMC Hutmaster (Appalachian trail hut crew)
-Dec-Apr- work: Heavenly, CA/NV or Whistler, BC
or
-go Air Force Pararescue
-serve a tour
-Strike for OCS, go CRO
Hm...
A thought for all you studs at the Academy...
“Midshipmen and cadets remain stronger and more aggressive than their male counterparts at civilian schools. They eagerly play sports such as rugby, boxing, karate, lacrosse, and football. They drive fast cars, usually sports cars. They play hard. They drink hard. They are physical, often abusive among each other. They are not trying to prove their manhood: they are celebrating their masculinity. They are competitive, often vulgar, and tough, and every citizen who may someday send a friend or relative into war should rejoice, because combat is competitive, vulgar, and tough, and they will be leading men in combat."
-Sec James Webb
