ydoaPs Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Boot camp was quite a bit less difficult than I had anticipated. In fact, it was very easy. I had loads of fun when I wasn't bored to death. I think the best part was Battle Stations, but we're not allowed to talk about that. For those that don't know, I'm a nuclear machinist mate in the U.S Navy. I can't go to "A" school yet, though, because I have a medical appointment in a civilian hospital on Tuesday and I graduated from RTC Great Lakes Summer Camp, err, Boot Camp yesterday. I get weekday liberty starting at 16 00, so I'll be in from time to time.
ecoli Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Hey, that's great. We really missed you this summer, yourdad.
Martin Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Hey, that's great. I echo ecoli We really missed you this summer, yourdad. that we did. for a fact.
insane_alien Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 /me awaits word of a meltdown at sea.
Martin Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Yourdad, I'd like to start an SFN bookclub reading Smolin's The Trouble with Physics...And What Comes Next it is a really interesting book----positive and constructive as well as critical. It discusses a bunch of new post-string developments. Think about getting a copy. I'd like to hear your reactions. You can find the book at the top of the amazon "general physics" bestseller list where it has been for over two weeks (since 30 August) http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/14560/ref=pd_ts_b_nav/102-4540543-7840144
ydoaPs Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 Depending on how long I'm on hold, I will have plenty of time to read. A few guys here were only supposed to be here for a few days and they have been here for a few months. I think mine will be quicker since I just have an appointment. After the appointment, I should be able to get my medical record and then get my new orders. This is the military, so it might take a while.
AzurePhoenix Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Hey, that's great. We really missed you this summer, yourdad. You disgust me sometimes.
ecoli Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 You disgust me sometimes. me too. Why, last night, I hugged my mother.
ydoaPs Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 I "hugged" your mother too...she charged me, though.
ydoaPs Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 I echo ecoli that we did. for a fact. Oh? Who is "we"? I can think of a few that were glad I was gone. I'm just too cool for them......especially now that I'min my dress whites.......damn, I'm sexy!
AzurePhoenix Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I love you too, AP! as long as it's quietly, from a vast distance. me too. Why, last night, I hugged my mother.
mooeypoo Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 yourdad, hey, welcome back, but allow me to take the role I've been doing for three and a half years following my own bootcamp: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER, SOLDIER?! DONT YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?! NOW GIVE ME 20! No, 50! No, 70!!! And salute, TOO!!! YES, WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, Can'T YOU MULTITASK!? <resumes self> Ah, amazing how I just didn't miss that Good luck youdad hehe good to see you back, and great to hear bootcamp wasn't too bad ~(former Lieutenant/reserves) moo
ydoaPs Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 I may be getting out of THU in a few days. I went to the pulmonologist today and he said there was nothing wrong with me. He said the calcifications are just a result of my exposure to Histoplasmosis. If my medical record is ready tomorrow, I'll put it in my packet so they can make my new orders. My school doesn't start until Monday, so They may be able to use my old orders and just get me a new ticket. Once I have my orders, I can sign out of THU and leave for Charlston the next day.
