The Best day on the USS Peleliu- Gun shoot..inspired story from some one..

THE Best day on the USS PELELIU- GUN SHOOT..
 Today , was the best day I had on the Peleliu , well maybe next to the day I checked on , and left within a hour. Why? Well we got to get off the ship.. and enjoy a sunny and at times cloudy day at the San Diego Police Dept shooting Range..(Where? thats for me to know and for you to find out, but nor from me?) Alot of us,, not me drove to the range.. I decided to save gas and get in touch worth my fellow crew members.. I sat Shot gun, but was told politely by a Filipino born dude , a cool dude , thick accent , but a cool guy. He's explanation. Im holding the guns.. who am I to argue with a guy with a arm ful of 9mm GUNS.. I might be crazy , but not that crazy.. Well , we finally take off.. the young driver is. well young and inexperienced.. in fact he cut off a pov- that privately owned vehicle for you civilian types.. on the base.. But we make it there.. Then the fun begins. We are given a safety brief by the cool pinoy and then we are given a quick lesson on the other course we will run.. On that course,, we are kicked, have rocks thrown at us.. and have insults raining on us.. well he does warn us.. Don't be fucken offended by my damn language. and if you are that's your fucken problem.. deal with it.. I love seeing old school mentality and strong words used.. I feel its a lost fucken art. We or this generation is too damn sensitive.. I mean fuck,, man.. its just words.. But sometimes you need those colorful fucken words to get the shot across , because that's how life is.. Reality is,,,life is unpredictable , you think you fucken enemy is going to treat you nice.. Fuck that,, shit happens and you have to be prepared .. So,, the insults rain on us. the yelling and running all over the shooting range made this day fun.. The traditional gun shoot was fun , because I like to shoot 9mm. I think its a safe and effective weapon, which I plan to get in the future for home protection. I know shooting at a range under safe and calm conditions are alot different than a home style attack . But I feel its a right and a duty to bear arms to protect oneself and your family and friends. I,m a trained Martial Artist in Filipino Stick fighting and Korean Karate as well as American Boxing and wrestling. But I also know that gun can only match gun power.. As fast or as talented I may be.. A bullet will win 99% percent of the time.. But back to the shoot. I really enjoyed the teamwork and professionalism of the whole crew. We all took the evolution seriously. well our range masters , fucken in planted that from the get go.. Pay attention or fucken go home and or back to work and explain to your bosses why you were kicked out,.. No one wanted that and it didnt happen, no incidents , no injuries, Thank god.. I mean.. We had a large group shooting , the most i have ever been to in my whole life time of shooting range events. I was a bit concerned , but it all turned out well. I'm tankful for that. I was also pleased with my shooting score and my ability to use the weapon properly. I know everyone enjoyed the time and laughs we had at the range and I'm looking forward to manning the appropriate watches for future watch standing.. Like I said , this by far was the most fun I had on the Peleliu.. even though it was spent off the ship on a San Diego Gun range. The drive back was fun.. jamming the radio,,, and parking on the pier , and returning all the stuff back to the armory. What was surprising how I saw two of my future division workers" action Jackson , the De man..  , spot me.. and ask me whats the word? My catch phrase.. The word is gun shoot and go home.. After the worst week on board , what a difference a day makes. Lesson Learned,, Nothing including bad times or feelings stay that way.. But in return.. This happy feeling will change come Monday ( cant tell you what monday ?) when another week begins , with alot of parts coming , a duty day( those who served know what that is, those you havent, too bad,, fucken find out ??? and a exam..( what kind.. once again.. those who know,, understand.. others.. you dont and wont understand anyways.. )  and the preparation of a another long week at sea.(cant tell you when? security reasons). But that's the navy and that's What I have to do.. But for now.. I really liked the day and its happenings.. Until the next story.. Take care! The SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011.
