Bam! Back from sunny/sandy South Carolina. Because I like lists let's breakdown the work week in percentages. It goes like this:
Running around military base documenting recruits experiences at basic training: 75%
Eating/Drinking: 7.5%
Sleeping: 7.5%

All in all it was a great time. We had an excellent public affairs officer escorting us around the base. And thank goodness, because Fort Jackson is one gigantic military base. Since we had a great escort we got to do mostly anything. Shadow a squad of soldiers on a simulated ambush? CHECK. Film from the top of Victory Tower? CHECK. Want to be in the soldiers bunk when the Drill Sergeants wake them up? CHECK.
We got it all, baby. And it was cool as shit.

Essentially, I got to experience what it would life would be like as a recruit in the Army, but without the yelling and the running. And I got paided. Good times!

Tonight the missus and I rented "Bulletproof Monk". However it scored low in the plausibility and acting areas so we turned it off. Which is about the worst thing I can say about a movie; this is the second movie I have ever seen that I felt was so bad I couldn't watch it. Still, seeing the fight choreography, all be it poor, put me in the mood for some martial arts. So we watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Now, that is a movie. Top Notch!

Regardless, tis good to be home.
