Happy Indy Day!

So today was fourth of July, one of my fav. holidays I do have to say myself. Today was like any other fourth of July's I had before. Grill out, blow up stuff, and go down to watch the fireworks. Mmmhmm but there was something different about today, something really different. Well at the last minute of the firework show, something hit me. I was thinking of how I am going to make a difference in this country one day. Not sure how, maybe by giving them my medical services, but who knows? But that really, really made me think alot. But the one thing that made me think alot is, are people really thankful for what I am about to do?

Not only I am putting the life of other sailors, marines, and soldiers. But also I am putting my own life on the line so some punks can say the shit they want about our country. Damn this stuff really makes me think hmmmm...... I am actually pretty scared of dieing and I hope to God I am safe through his guidance in the field. But other then that, I am ready.

There's three things I want from me serving the Navy:

1. To know I made a difference, even from just comforting a soldier/sailor/or marine before their death or even saving them.

2. To earn a sweet eduaction:P

3. To make this country safer.

God Bless Us All.

Hospital Corpsman Pray:

Grant me, oh Lord, for the coming events;Enough knowledge to cope and some plain common sense.Be at our side on those nightly patrols;And be merciful judging our vulnerable souls.Make my hands steady and as sure as a rock;when the others go down with a wound or in shock.Let me be close, when they bleed in the mud;With a tourniquet handy to save precious blood.Here in the jungle, the enemy near;Even the corpsman can't offer much lightness and cheer.Just help me, oh Lord, to save lives when I can;Because even out there is merit in man.If It's Your will, make casualties light;And don't let any die in the murderous night.These are my friends I'm trying to save;They are frightened at times, but You know they are brave.Let me not fail when they need so much;But to help me serve with a compassionate touch.Lord, I'm no hero -- my job is to heal;And I want You to know Just how helpless I feel.Bring us back safely to camp with dawn; For too many of us are already gone.Lord bless my friends If that's part of your plan; And go with us tonight, when we go out again."
