jackofallgeeks | Military Elitism

I got up a few times today. Sorta. I was awake at 8:00 something, and then again at 10:00 something, and finally got out of bed at 12:24. Showered, shaved, all that fun morning stuff. It was 1:00 when I finally left for my errands. Took the Metro down all the way around to Bethesda. I wish there were a shorter way, but... Got out there, and deposited my money. My account now has $461 in it. That makes me feel a little better about my cash-flow. I still miss the $1200 that I'd had in there before getting my Computer, but... Went around the corner to the barber's and got, I think, a nice haircut. ^^ The barber's first comment was 'you've got alot of hair'. it was humorous. Reminds me of when my mom would get all us boys in the kitchen and cut out hair. The floor was carpeted with out clippings. ^^ Then, after all that was taken care of, I crossed over to the Hospital and got Subway for lunch - at about 2:00, I guess. I skipped getting the hot peppers and jalapeños, and I regret that. Ate most of the foot-long sandwich, and put the rest and my chips in my bag t'take home. Finally got back here, the whole trip taking about 3 hours, I think, being that it's just about 4. Maybe it was more like 2½, but it's cloe enough. Got a Nestea on the way in, which I'll have later with my sandwich and chips, and maybe some soup. And pudding.

It's good being military. Even as just a Dependant, I enjoy it. I think it's prolly similar to belonging to any type of sub-culture. There's a sense of pride that goes along with it, a sense that you're able to access something that the general public isn't. In my corner of the world, these are the men and women who defend our country. ::Shrugs:: Maybe it's just me, but I know I'm going to miss it in a few years, when I become a full-fledged civilian. For now, it's nice.
