Army Reserves

If you dont already know, i am going into the Army Reserves. i missed a day of school yesterday so that i could take my physical for it and get sworn in. The proccess is HORRIBLE!!, you get a full physical, and the doctors there are civilians, so they are trying as hard as they can to disqualify you from the military? Why would they do this you ask?.... beats me. But i qualified, and i am now enlisted in the Army.

i never knew quite why i wanted to enlist, it just seemed like a really awesome thing to do. i love guns alot, and i cant wait to be training with weapons of all kinds. =) i cant wait to learn my rifle inside and out, and we are timed at how fast we'll be able to take our rifles apart, clean them, and then put them back together. I cant wait for that challenge... but there is one obstacle that is going to terrify me to death (well, i hope not death). thats the Grenade... i hate explosives, and i am so afraid to go near them. What i'm hoping to get out of this, is the safety and proper use of Grenades, that way i dont blow myself to smitherines.  

i dont know how long i really want to enlist for, but my contract says 8 years, and i am okay with that. Basic training is every future soldiers biggest fear, we all want to pass it and have our parents see us graduate. There is no doubt in my mind that i will try my hardest to do so.. Oh and interesting fact here:
* I am the only woman from homer enlisting in the military!!*
          -I highly recommend women that love weapons and are not afraid to get down and dirty to think about the military!!

ok, thats my rant =D
