Why? You don't like seeing a watermelon come out a hole the size of a pill bottle? You definitely never look at one the same way again.

It's worth it in the end though. I watched both of mine and never fainted. I was a bit grossed out, but still good to go. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

After my son was born, they put the after birth I guess the PC thing would be to say Placenta in a big ol stainless steel pan and sat it on a table next to me. I looked over at it and got woozy like a MoFo. I slid right down the front of the cabinet and sat on the floor right there. The nurses and dr freaked out on me, but I wasn't getting back up until I could breath with out thinking I was under water.

before that, the doctor got all smart azz with me and asked if I was man enough to cut the cord...I said Nope and don't ask me again. The ex started laughing like crazy.

yep...I get wozzy at the sight of my own blood. So if I ever get hurt, I am a prime candidate for going into shock.

Just got a phone call from Tiif.

She's coming home. She said she has decided that this isn't for her and she joined for all the wrong reasons. She's concerned that I'm mad about it. I tried to reassure her that I am not mad, just disappointed.

To everyone that has been cheering me on, Thank you, Thank you very much.

How exactly does that work? Is she just allowed to leave?

 

[EvilleDoug]

No, let's just say, she spoke with the chaplin and is being "sent" home.

Hmm...What sort of repercussions(if any) does this entail?

 

[EvilleDoug]

I'm sure it wont reflect very well on an application for employment

 

[Benny]

Is that considered getting dishonorably discharged or is that after basic is over(sorry for the noob question, I have no clue)?

 

[EvilleDoug]

there's really no discharge status issued. after at least 180 days, then there would be a discharge type listed

 

[RelicHound]

Sorry to hear that Doug. but at least you get your wife back!

 

[EvilleDoug]

Sorry to hear that Doug. but at least you get your wife back!

yeah, well there's that. But I would rather get her back after basic. I tried my best to encourage her to stick this out, but on the phone she said she signed up for the wrong reasons and I agree. She's been in competion with her brother since they were kids and this was another contest.

it'll be alright, I'm just sad for her because her family have no understanding of compassion and they will tear her apart.

I guess I'll be appying for a new Gov job and hopefully move out of state

It's ok. The military just isn't for everyone, no matter how much they want it. I learned that not long ago myself.

And you gotta look at the positives.

The family part will be hard. If there's any chance of understanding AT ALL in her family, they won't use this as an ace up their sleeve for a guilt card. If they do, it'll show their true colors.

However, it's her choice and it's great that you have her back on this. That's what makes a marriage!

Oh, and don't feel too down about it. At least your wife didn't just inform you that when she was younger she almost cut her finger off with a BUTTER KNIFE like mine just did! I mean, how do you get a deep cut with a BUTTER KNIFE?!?!?!

(Yes, I laughed at her after she showed me the scar)

I just got done trying out a new recipe for chicken.

All you need is boneless chicken breasts, a couple cans of French's french fried onions and a couple of eggs.

Dip the chicken in egg, then cover in the onion straws and cook on 400 for about 25 or so minutes. It's freaking awesome!

I'm also going on 48 hours without any red meat.







Well, besides the 6 or so ounces of beef jerky I had earlier.

I know beef jerky is beef, but I really don't count that as red meat.

The chicken recipe sounds good.

Have you ever tried letting it marinate in teriyaki sauce overnight and then grilling it...just a little bit of BBQ sauce at the very end...that's good too
