3 By Sea

Yesterday and today consisted of pretty  much the same things. Tuesday and Wednesday are the last two days of pool week. And for those of you who do not speak Navy Dive School, that just means that we will concentrated more on actually diving and less on learning how to get our asses kicked. The last two days have been a lot like the days we got our individual hits, except we had our buddy swimming next to us. And holding on to us.  Ostensibly, this is intended to teach us to work together to fix any problems we might encounter. Like getting malested by a passing dolphin. All things considered, it actaully turned out to be fun. My dive buddy and I are a good match. We both have decent breath holds, we don’t get panicked under water, and we have a good time during the hits.  So for buddy hits, we just had fun. Even when an imposer would throw and elbow to a nose or go a little long while imposing a problem.

At this point, all of the hard stuff at dive school (hard stuff being all those things that could get you sent home) are behind us. From here on out we’ll being working on actual diving. Hoo-yah.

I’m sure some of you(and by some of you, I mean both people that read this blog) are thinking, “Hey, what about all the PT? It doesn’t sound like they’re do that much PT.” Well, we PT all day long. Eight-counts, push-up, monkey fuckers… all sorts of stuff. All day. So don’t fret. We get plenty of exercise.

Pictures are still in the works, but they’ll be up soon.
