Jobs and HMMWVs

I guess this is suppose to be a blog. Well... I'll give it my best! At least I think I will. Anyways, found this site by accident and thought to myself, "Hey! Maybe this could be a way to improve my Japanese!" ... I guess I do more idiotic things then I give myself credit for. Hopefully, this site will be able to help me improve not only my Japanese but also my people relation skills. Now, on to my day!

Recently I've been out job hunting. Actually I'm really lazy so it was more like job stalking. It was a tedious process that lasted roughly a month. During which I spent most of my time just playing games. Mostly just a lot of Call of Duty 4 or DW: Gundam. Besides that... I guess not much happened. Although, I did get to drive a HMMWV or humvee for my military driver's license. That thing is just too huge. I killed three cones on the obstacle course. Sigh, aside from that nothing much happened on drill. Well, talk to you later.

My 2nd Profession

『Saw Gunner』


The story behind that big gun, whoops, I mean, big automatic weapons system(the drills would have slaughtered me if they heard me call it that). The story behind how I obtained that monster is a very simple one. On the day we headed out for some field training, I was pulled to the side by the original Saw gunner in our squad. He simply told me that instead of drawing out my M16, I was to instead request MG21. Little did I know that he was entirely serious with passing off the labor of hauling the damn thing. But what could I say? He was of higher rank then myself and he was higher on the command chain.

So, I followed orders and paid little heed to the task at hand. All, I had realize was that this thing weighed a ton, compared to the feather weight M16. Not only that but as I looked around to my fellow Saw gunners I realized something. I was without a doubt, the smallest machine gunner out of the entire company. How is that possible?! I know I'm not the shortest or the lightest but c'mon! What's the odds that nearly every Saw gunner weighed more then 200 pounds or was above 6 feet? Close to non, I say. But I must suck it up and keep on driving through. Thats how most things gets done in the Army.

Well thats enough for now, till next time!
