Hey Everyone!..
Its been quite a while since I've logged in and posted anything on here. Im finally at The Naval Academy Prep. School (NAPS) in Rhode Island..INDOC is 3 weeks long, and its almost over!..YAYYY!...In my Opinion we are the best Platoon in the Battalion.:)..We look so good when we are out in the field doing drill..OMG!..Even the GySgt. out here said so himself..There are 41 people in my platoon and 6 of us are Females...Ohhh yeah!
Now for the bad news. Ive been doing great..Lots of TBE (Team Building Exercises) and all that good stuff..Until Last week Tuesday, While Taking the Hill behind Ripley Hall (where we live), I tripped on the stair and Jammed my Toe reallly bad. I didnt say anything for a while. I figured I could just walk it out. We went over to get our uniforms and all that, and my Toe was hurting real bad. After we came back to our rooms, I looked at my Big Toe on my Right Foot, and It was swollen and realllly purple. I couldnt Bend my Toe. I finally told my CADRE (Naval Academy Midshipman 1st class who train us) about it, and she took me to see the Corpsman.
He thought it was broken, so they drove me to the NAVY hospital right outside base, I got X-rays done and all that, and it turns out that I tore a Ligament in my toe. So he put me on CHIT (light duty.-No PT, No Drill-No Fun..LOL..) for 4 weeks. and i had to walk around with a DAMN BOOT on my foot!..
Now, for the Good news...This happend last week..Well, Ive been icing my foot everyday..Ive been going to the trainer everyday after Evening meal, and sticking my foot in the Whirl Pool (Bath tub with ICE and Water)..for 20 mins. The swelling went completely down, and its not as purple anymore. I can bend it a little more now..and well yesterday, the Corpsman told me that I would be able to Drill and PT again..all i have to do is Wrap up my Toe every morning before PEP..(PT)..So I healed Pretty DAmn quick!..Im sooo happy!..I get to Push DECK and PT and Drill again...
WHooot Whooot!...Classes start Next week and I definitely cant wait!..A lot of people are really excited..WE have a Rates Competition today, and Drill Competition on Friday..I know my Platoon is going to win..:banana:..And LIBO!..Hell yes!..we Get Libo. realllllll sooon!..
If you guys have any questions about NAPS and the Naval Academy, let me know!..
