ETT PA-C: I'm trying

"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

I'm trying

I'm trying to think of something worthwhile to report but the only thing that comes to mind is getting the hell out of this country. We dropped off three of the original guys a few days ago which is a good thing because they're going home and because I'm not sure if we could get a lick of work out of them if we had to. The two of us, SGM and myself, are out of here a week and a half or so.

So, nothing to report.....good, I guess.

Sayings of the GA ETT

I never thought I'd say this. "This country sucks! I can't wait to get back to Ft Riley (Kansas)."
Me talking to SGM Allman after watching our puppy, Gator, lick our monkey's(Georgia) bottom. "Look. It's the GA/FL game and the Gators are licking Georgia's butt."
LT Sekula innocently commenting about a man whipping his donkey. "Oh ya, smack that ass." Seriously, he didn't even realize what he said until he saw me crying.
My personal favorite and has been for a while. "Winning hearts and minds, gentlemen, doesn't mean two in the chest and one in the head."
1LT Goddard "Dying would be gay."
SFC Corrigan "Its hot. Subtract 5 degress and that's Hell."
MAJ Berry "Kansas.........damnit."
1LT McCall "Hey. You wanna to see a picture of me on my tractor?" "Have I ever told you about......"
1LT McCall "It's another great day to be an American soldier; every day's a holiday, every meal's a feast, every paycheck's a small fortune and every formation's a parade."
