Otter's Leaving A Day Early.

I just finished my DEP CC today and I spoke to my recruiter about the issue that Michelle (a girl from the October group) brought up about October 30th LA-DEP's leaving to the hotel on the 28th and leaving for Lackland on the 29th. I brought it up to my recruiter and she wasn't told such BUT looked in the system and found out to be true.

We played a really fun game called "Story" (I think that's what it's called) and it's pretty fun. You have a group of people in a circle and one person starts off. This is how it goes.

First person to start the game: Once...
Second person in line: Once there...
Third person in line: Once there was...

And it goes around the circle until someone messes up.

So for example:

First person to start the game: Once...
Second person in line: Once there...
Third person in line: Once there was...
Fourth person in line: Once there was a...
Fifth person in line: Once there was a dog who.

If someone messed up on a word or adds two words, you're out. LOL. Or continues without saying the rest of the sentence.

SO, we had a few when we started the sentence like "Cool" the person was suppose to say "Cool Story" but just said "Story". HAHAHAHAHA. XD

OH, and PS: I lost three pounds. YAY! (Thanks to the Insanity workout)

Also, we meshed with two new recruiters and we're adding 25 new DEP'rs on our team. SO, yeah. Now we're about 45 people. And we had one guy, Jonathan, cancel and got his DEP place terminated. That sucks because I had dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and saw him working... I thought he was going to join but he volunteered to terminate it because he missed three DEP CC's in a row which is an AUTOMATIC disqualification but he knew it and terminated himself. Whatevs.

Short Update. BUT, ping pong training!

Me, ping pong training. Finally, on Thursday we got some heavy rain, thunder and some lightning. It's been hot ALL year and finally, this is the first real rain we've gotten for the first time this year. I'm happy it's getting colder, cloudier BUT with peeking sunshine. It's the best weather! I'm feelin' good.

Also, today. Insanity workout day 1 @ 5am: Success!

2 weeks, four days. EEK!

DEP CC and Marching.

I met up with my recruiter and my fellow DEP'rs. We made a love package for her (USAF) husband who's deployed in Afghanistan so we sent him some good stuff. Junk food, shaving cream, packaged Gatorade, and someone gave him an iPod shuffle. UM, OUR LIMIT WAS $10, DUDE! Hahahahaha.

Then we got a briefing about the news in the USAF. In Lackland AFB (where our training is held), there has been a lot of investigation happening because there are MTI's who are harassing or sexual harassing people or something like that. Men and women but more on women so they're kicking out MTI's and discharging them from the military and even those who are under suspicion are being discharged so it's serious stuff. After that, we went outside for a test... We had to do our 'reporting statement' and then we all got together and marched. We have two new kids and one of them is Art. We were commanded to do a "change step" but he did a "change step" and a "about phase" AND THEN HORRIBLY CRASHED INTO PEOPLE. It was like a bowling ball crashing into the pins. IT WAS HILARIOUS! XD

After that, we were all briefed on what we're going to do for the next two DEP CC's. So, August 4th is Ultimate Frisbee (I'll bring my own this time) and September 1st, we're running UP Mount Rubidoux (Roo-bee-dough) sigh. Maybe... If I pretend to pass out... Some hunky DEP'r can carry me? HMMMMMM.

Then we were all dismissed. I was going to talk to Sgt. Fears about my right knee but I'll just ask her on Wednesday when I see her.

I'm not sure if I told you about my knee...

Well, I've been feeling this weird discomfort in my right knee. When I do a squat (like I'm going to do a duck walk), I don't feel it but it's when I do a pivot to my right side and put my weight on my right side, then I'll feel it and sometimes, it'll hurt. I don't know if it's something that I have to address or let it go but I feel like I should just to figure out what's wrong. I've asked some of my guy friends who are all into physical body and whatnot and they say that it's either I used my right side too much, or I've strained it or over-used it or I didn't stretch out enough. :(

So, yeah. Meh.

Training and Healthier Otter.

So, Emily and I are... Actually, I'm trying to influence Emily to get on the wagon of a healthier lifestyle. I want to her sway away from the weed and try to change her life. Yeah, sure, you can't get addicted to weed HOWEVER, you do become dependent on it. Yeah, I know the benefits, the medicinal properties and why people use it for recreational purposes but... My best friend doesn't have a medical card, nor an illness for her to get one so for her to pick up from her boyfriend and other friends is still considered illegal. And the fact that her boyfriend is growing and he doesn't even have a medical card either and doesn't have a reason to get one, that's also considered illegal and I don't want Emily to get in trouble.

Now that her boyfriend's back, we have an awkward living situation. He brought all his weed equipment, growing it in the sleeping area and we all three sleep on the same bed but we all sleep horizontally. Talk about awkward. -_- and it's a studio apartment.

I've been training, eating healthy, and working out and I'm staying healthy but it's just weird how everyone keeps coming over, picking up, smoking it up and getting stoned and I'm the awkward, super-clean, innocent-looking Asian, sitting in the corner, online, watching Asian dramas. LOL. BUT, as long as I'm clean, sober and it won't hinder my chances in getting in the military then I'm good.

Today, when we came back from the gym, we entered the house and the house definitely smells like maryj. Sigh. And that's all the way in the bed area. What more with smoking it? Sigh. Now, her boyfriend's best friend and his girlfriend came over and brought more weed and some hash. Great. Are we putting the hash in our food now?

Awkward.

Thus, why I need to get out soon.

Emily's boyfriend's best friend just asked if I wanted some weed while they're smoking some. I'm glad you have manners but no thanks.

More awkwardness.

Awkward,
Otter
