Oh nos I'm sick right before the big test!

Margaret is a jerk! We tell her "eat your meds", it takes her 2 hours to eat it ... we tell her "use the cough stopping pill" she says "no it makes my voice hoarse!" we say "stop coughing right into the food and in other people's faces!" she says "no i'm not!" while having her head up so high and only her outstretched fingers blocking the cough ... I ask you, how much protection are those splayed apart fingers going to offer? Geez.

Now my trainer says "you gotta rest, you can't train today effectively", and I feel awful, and all right before the big test, too! Geez ... Oh ya, he also said to skip this Saturday's Marine PT ... but what if they go somewhere fun?! ... :(

I have to say, though, last time's PT didn't teach us any martial arts at all ... in fact, Sgt Tucker explained more about MC martial arts on just the way home than the entire "lesson" did ... lol6

Back after long long break?

So ... It seems that I haven't posted since August ... but anyways, today we (as in the Rockville RSS Saturday PT Poolee + Marines Group) went to the DC barracks to visit and PT. There was this nice LC Parry guy who not only actually remembers all the dates and history of the Marine Corps, but also is physically fit (as in out runs me) and just recently got his green belt and became an instructor in Marine Corps martial arts ... and he and GySgt Abragan together demonstrated two of the martial arts techniques that we might learn some day. They move too fast, I couldn't even see what happened much less get a video, not that I managed to remember about taking a video at the time lol.

As for why the sudden posting, you should thank Sgt Tucker ... he's the one who said someone actually reads this thing, so I might occasionally put stuff here, now that I know someone actually reads it lol.
