Drill weekend this weekend, my first since returning back from Kuwait in September. It was good to be back with the 'guys' from my shop. I have a great bunch of guys in my shop, and if it were not for their dedication, my job out there wouldn't be fun at all. Juan Vasquez is my main go to guy, a real equalizer when I get all worked up over something stupid. There's also Brian Scholle, Steve Voigt, Rick Ebert, Eduardo Robles, Brian Teel, and Brent Nielson. Ed and Teel deployed with me to Kuwait.
One thing that did suck today was the flu vaccination. We use to get injections, but now those of us who are under 49 and 1/2 get the vaccine via a nasal mist. Yum. Nothing like inhaling flu serum and having it drain down the back of your throat. I'm a bonafide wimp when it comes to needles, but compared to the mist I'll take the needle anyday. I remember basic training when we would go through the cattle shoot for our vaccinations and they were administered by air injection. The airmen who gave the injections were in training themselves and I think some of them were sado-masochistic henchmen who loved to see the recruits writhe in abject pain and suffering.
November is now here. Where in the world has this year gone? Wow. I love November because this is Thanksgiving time,and that is my favorite holiday time of the year. And fishing should be kicking butt should I ever get out.
