Ok

I didn't watch the video I just posted until today so I now relize that i don't look that bad in the video so i guess I need to tell some back story.
I was asked by my Captain if i was interested in doing combatives for PT (physical training) today and ofcourse I said yes so me him my warrent and another specialist that has been taking martial arts for abut 4 years meet at the gym. They teach me some things then we start to spar against each other and let me say i forgot how exhausting sparing is. So it my turn against SPC Hougey the smallest of us and we start. Now I have a strenght and weight advantage but he is way more skilled so it actually evens out. As we grappel on the ground he starts to work out of my hold on him and gives me a few knees to the cheek and I do not really feel them at the time but shortly after that get him in a submision and he taps out. As I get up I realize that I have something on my cheek and when I brush it off my hand is covered in blood. It still didnt hurt but we had to stop practice after that and that is when I decided to do the video. I will try to video me ain the act next time.

Combatives

Still undecided

Ok I am pretty sure that I still want to go to a Ranger unit but Amy is making me unsure so don't know if I want to do something that she won't be able to handle. I still want her to talk to a wife who is stationed in a Ranger unit right now so she can get a batter idea of what is like before she tells me what she wants to do. As far as my career is concerned I can go to a stratigic unit ( mostly nondeployable) or a tactical unit (deployable) but I will gain more credibility from a tactical unit and real world expeirence. Employers want you to have been in both type of enviroments when they hire you in a civilian job so i know at some point I will have to go to a tactical unit and it might as well be a high speed unit like Ranger. Not to mention I have found that the more on the front lines the unit is the more you bond with your peers. So in the long run I will make better contacts in a Ranger unit or Special forces than in a huge infantry unit that nobady will ever know who I am. I also I have no intenion of staying in a Ranger or SF unit for to long because in the Army Intel world you need to have your stratigic and tactical time so i will need both. I figure that it is best to get the deployments out of the way so I can go to a stratigic unit as a E7 so once i am there i will have have more flexability with my schedule and responsibility to ultimatly be able to spend more time at home.

Ok amy i guess u can dellete the blog just for us and re do it to see if that woks cause i still can't see it.
