Hey everybody! Look at me!

Starting from the right, I'm the fourth guy with a shield, the one that says POLICE upside down. Yup. I will let you know, that day sucked.
Understand, I'm not totally adverse to some physical activity. I'm not out of shape, I can run my mile and a half in under 11 minutes. But that day sucked. I Still, and that picture was taken 4 days ago, still have a bruise on my arm from one of the straps of that shield. Oh, also you see the people behind me? Those were marines. Carrying shotguns. Real ones, made out of metal. And you see how I'm not wearing a helmet? I totally got rushed, and hit so hard that my head rocked back and smacked right into my marine's shotgun. Fun! You can look through some other photos in that stream of different things that went on that day and the next for my base.
But... I still dont really regret my decision to join, even if. Even if I have to do silly things that have absolutely no bearing on my real job in the Navy.
