Happy 4th!

so for some strange reason my computer at work is allowing me access to my blog site which is great! it's the fourth of july and i just came back from our celebratory lunch of crappy steak, bbq chicken, mac n cheese, green beans, and corn on the cob. at least they try, i guess.

i am almost at the halfway point. can't say it hasn't gone by quickly, but it does feel like i've been here forever. we had the first of our redeployment meetings and i have to say that it was great talking about going home.

but there's been a pretty good amount of stuff here that's kept me busy. we've had tons of physicals. lots of rashes, lots of minor aches and pains. ortho was big...lots of sprained ankles and jammed fingers. iraqi crud (myself included). we had two army mishaps that i had to deal with. i sent pts to other bases to get checked out of aub, testicular masses, vision problems. I sent a pregnant marine home and another for avh. had a heat casualty and gave out tons of iv fluids. gave 4 medical briefs and did 3 shot fairs...overall, not too bad, i don't think.

i'm wrapping up my psychology class. turned out a better than i feared. those guys hunkered down for the final exam and i ended up giving 3 a's, 3 c's, and the rest b's. i was pretty happy with that. glad that no one failed. and i didn't even have to curve it.

i realized that i never showed you guys our birds. that's me with scaneagle, our boeing uav. our other one is the pioneer and i promise pics of that one soon as well. they're pretty cool. the scaneagle is all by joystick on a monitor, but pioneer has a remote control portion that's just like flying a toy plane. pretty fun, actually.
