Who'd you see?

Oh, it was the National Memorial Day Concert, up at the Capitol. They called off training for a few days for the holiday, but I figured it was the right thing to do, go out to that concert. Glad I did, too.

[zizes-schmizes.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I usually watch that on tv. Always gets me crying, too.

[knightatheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it... made me think about a lot of things, y'know. [He slid his hands into his pocket.] Guy who was practically my second dad was in Special Forces. Army. He's a good guy, but he's got some of the problems they were talking about this time. Emotions don't quite work right, and I think he has nightmares sometimes. I think Dad helps him out with that, though. Kinda hard to think that other people have it as bad as Mike does. --Or worse.

It's sad, I know. Makes you wish you could do something. Anything.

[knightatheart.livejournal.com]

Maybe something to spend some spare time doin' once I'm out of training. Wherever I end up assigned, anyway. Twenty weeks of training, two years in a field office... With no idea where I'm gonna end up assigned. [He exhaled, looking thoughtful.] Gonna be a little crazy.

[zizes-schmizes.livejournal.com]

Busy, busy, busy. How is training going?

[knightatheart.livejournal.com]

Two words: Fucking exhausting.

[But he was smiling to say it.]

[zizes-schmizes.livejournal.com]

But I bet you love it. Semester's over for me - I've finished my first year of college. Like you said, exhausting. But well worth it.

It's not bad. I hate the firearms training, though. [Which was probably evident by the way he wrinkled his nose.]

[zizes-schmizes.livejournal.com]

How long do you have to do that for?

[knightatheart.livejournal.com]

'Til I'm qualified on handguns and rifles, since I'm going into SWAT.

[zizes-schmizes.livejournal.com]

So why do you hate it if it's necessary?
