Week one: we ran, hard, a lot. I felt immense pain in my legs and was struggling to keep up(first because weak muscles, then because “oof ouch”)
Week two: yeah nah I was at camp Kelly for this so I dunno shiz lol
Week 1 of HBL: still feeling pain
Week 2 of HBL: still feeling pain
Week 3 of BMT: still feeling pain, toughing it out because I Want To Be Here™
yeah so at some point between week 3 and 4, we went to the electronic shooting trainer(EST) which was dope as fug
but some motherfucker
“Southerland’s limping!”
Drill Sergeant: “who’s limping?!” so then he asked me what was wrong with me. I lied because I thought he was doing something weird. he tells me to go to MTAC so now I have to.
Week 4: My journey with MTAC & sick call begins. I’m on crutches and trying my best ;-;
Time goes on. I learn my fuggen femur has a “major” stress fracture. The doctor-person told me “so I know I was joking around yesterday but…you have weak grandma bones. Our minimum vitamin D count is 30 and your lab results show you have a 14”
so that was a yikes.
Week 9: I’ve been doing my physical rehab. The Forge is next week. I’m ready to do it. I pull some strings- I’m gonna see a captain at the clinic before I’m supposed to, and he’s going to reevaluate my leg so I can maybe do the Forge.
Friday, week 9: I wake up late- my battle buddies fucked me & didn’t wake me up. I grab a quitter and rush downstairs- the drill is chill. I get there(at sick call), and while standing in line…puke 4×. Obviously civilians don’t like that while we’re in corona times so I’m made to go to where the corona bois are- surprise, my quitter battle buddy is here, too. He tests positive. Guess who else tests positive?
Week 10 & 11(so far): Yeah so I’m at camp Kelly, positive side, with my battle buddy.
