The girls and I went to Nashville to enjoy our last Saturday of freedom. Laura, Linda and I were actually approached by a representative from CMT (Country Music Television) to appear on an upcoming show that is currently being filmed. After signed some legal paperwork, we were stuck on camera and asked a few questions. Ugh... I can't believe that my 10 seconds of fame may be on quite possibly the strangest topic ever. I would tell you more, but...I can't. Hehe!
That evening the three of us took a "ghost tour" of Nashville. Nothing really spooky, but we did learn some of the history behind a few of the older buildings and the capital building.

Today was spent out on the firing range...alllllll day. My M-16 and I have now truly bonded. While I have qualified on the M-16 many times before, I never wore full body armor while doing so. Interesting note about women, weapons, and body armor: when you add 30 lbs of gear that is incredibly bulky, it is nearly impossible to get the end of your rifle up in the pocket of your shoulder. The end result? You have to fire with the end of the rifle on your arm and you gain one heck of a bruise. I submit my right bicep photo as evidence:

SRP day today. No idea what SRP actually stands for (God bless the Army and their nine million acronyms), but it translates into hours of standing in lines for vaccinations, eye exams, hearing tests, medication refills...you get the idea. After speaking with one of the docs the determination was made that I will not be getting any more Anthrax vaccine boosters due to the bad reaction I had the last time. Eek. Not sure if I like that answer or not.

Hopefully I will see the show, CMT is still always on in the background. Take Care!
