Access Denied

Since I can't get on myspace on this government computer, I'm going to write on facebook to scratch the itch that's been bugging me all week. I've had to give up my laptop for about a month while I'm doing the Ranger Indoctrination Program so my internet mobility has been stiffled for a while as I am forced to use DOD computers that balk at allowing access to any site the government deems inappropriate. The word "blow job" in one of my friends posts blocked me from viewing my facebook profile on a computer that I actually paid to use. This one in the library is free and aparently is BJ blind which is nice... I don't really like them anyway.

RIP hold is some major bullshit. We stand a lot. I have formed a pretty sweet sunburn line around the back of my freshly shaved head where my PC ends. It's only slightly embarassing to go out in public with it. But then I tell people how I got it and they go "Oh" and stop laughing. The rumors going around about that I've volunteered for are bad and mostly true so the average soldier doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Which is great since I don't want to have anything to do with the average soldier. Finally a place where my elitism is nurtured, with good reason to back it up. The Rangers are simply the best light infantry in the world. From what we've been told, only 23 Rangers have died in combat over the last 5 years. Mostly because they don't have to wait around for confirmation to engage the enemy so when the opportunity presents its self they take it with lethal efficiency. I'm not a aggresive guy but these are the people I want to be around when bullets start flying.

The real test starts next week. So I'll finally get to see if I'm as good as I think I can be. And if not at least I can say I tried which most people never will be able to. Wish me luck... Oh and wish also that I'll somehow get to play my guitar a little bit too. I miss that damn thing more and more every day. Music is such a huge part of who I am. I'm always going to have to share my life between whatever I'm doing and being a musician. Much love to y'all.

Rangers lead the way.
