User blog:Spikewitwicky/March 23rd, 2015 - Spike's Journal Entry



Just got back from being debriefed by Chance from the Joes. I was in a small conference room with him, a microphone, and a recorder. Due to the severity of the events, I had to don the suit and tie. It was to look at Marissa's and I's (that look right on paper, but it's a journal) behavior and actions on our failed attack on the Kingsnake. On a good note, well, not good - on an incredibly great note - Cobra's Pyramid of Darkness was destroyed. Phase-Ar had a decent hand in this.

Chance asked some questions that ... at the best, showed how woefully unprepared I was. And at worst... possibly some legal action may be taken (Chance said I don't have to worry about it). Biggest fail - Chance asked when the Kingsnake approached us - if I called for backup or if I radioed for assistance. And I didn't remember.

I'm not making excuses. But the fact that the Joes are going through these steps show just hwo much better they are than Cobra as human beings. A Cobra agent fires on the Joes and kills them, they will most likely get a medal. Marissa and I - get interviewed separately and likely, some action will be taken. Not legal, but some protocols will likely be implemented.

I was fine, but I lost it when I started to recreate the events that led to the likely death of a few Cobra agents. I'm still trying to move on. I have plenty to distract me. But when things get quiet, I keep coming back to that event. I know if I want to be part of EDC, I may be put into that position again. I sure hope I'm not. Best case scenario - I pass my medical boards, and Prime promotes me to the medical wing full-time. But as Marissa and dad have said, this may very well happen again. Here's hoping it won't.

On a brighter note, Wichita State upset Kansas in the NCAA bracket. I wasn't pulling for either team, but it again is an example of why this is my favorite sporting event of the year - so many chances for the underdog to beat the big guys. Spikewitwicky (talk) 14:28, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
