So it's no secret that being here is tough, and being here this week is tougher than most because this week we're all hands-on learning things like how to drive huge vehicles, perform vehicle maintenance and run around blowing crap up. Yes, I am doing FINE. In fact, I'm doing bettr than fine. I can show up the guys no problem on a lot of this stuff. But still I keep hearing horrible comments.
Today we were learning to change tires...one of the guys said out loud in a large group that "Maj Barber won't be able to loosen that lug nut because it's jst on there too tight." Yeah, screw you dude...I loosened two of them just to prove you wrong.
This morning I drove the MRAP (huge vehicle) for the first time. I got out of there and one of my favorite guys said to me "Ma'am, you did better than I thought you would have. I thought you'd be all scared." Yeah, screw you. I'm not afraid of a vehicle that will save my life.
So thank God for a few important people in my life. One of them just spent 30 minutes pulling me out of the rafters...so glad he's back in my life. And the second is my husband. Worst day in ages, and here's Rob's Gmail status message:
"My sweetie is a badass."
Hell yeah.
