turned the last bolt as of 4:42 this afternoon. it's 11:35 PM right now


this project has been such an emotional drain on my family. it's not very motivational when my father complains to me about how hard the project is, when im doing the bulk of the work. i felt like telling to quit his fvcking whining...

my sister broke a hole in my wall because she helped about 5 minutes and i wasnt being "enthusiastic enough".

my father told me my project was "killing him". he also told me it was the "project from hell", and several other things that didnt exactly help enthusiasm, or motivation. so, without their knowledge or consent, i went by myself back over to the where the items were being installed, and installed the rest of em. dont tell anyone


but nonetheless, and despite all obstacles (damn unhelpful troop, crew,... ). i encourage all of you to find out who your real friends are. who would help you when you need it most? it's really scary, really interesting, to see who will desert you when the storm strikes. the one who sticks around may not always be who you expect...


now it's just a matter of writing up the final, revised schedule... and finding any and all people who promised to write me an eagle reccomendation letter, and forcing them to follow through. (arm twisting is not out of the question... ), and finding all my rank and date history, writing up what i learned, and turning it in it's simple!

Just being able to shoot is not the only qualification for military snipers. They have an 80% failure rate in their training courses. Many are called, only a few are chosen.

Well, Mr. Olympian, like I said, being able to shoot is not the only thing you have to do to become a sniper. There are a lot of other skills and tests to pass. A lot of applicants go in being very excellent marksmen, but they stumble on the rest of the coursework. Like I said, only a few actually make it. If you want to do it, go for it, and good luck to you. But don't think you're automatically going to get it because your skills are 1337.

nope, not automatic. but it does make things a lot easier. you also have to aquire targets fast, i know.
