Guard Duty

Well, it has finally happened.  I actually got called up for active duty.  Sounds cool, huh?  Like I’m actually doing something?  Wrong.  It’s flood control.  Flood control for a place that’s not actually flooding.  It might flood.  It could possibly flood.  Ya never know.  So pretty much I’ve done nothing but miss class (My third day of college no less) sleep, fill sandbags, and wait until they think the levee might break.  I say, what the heck, it’s Martinsville.  I don’t think the headquarters for the KKK is worth much of saving.  Either that or I’m just being cynical.  Probably me just being cynical because even though I live right down the road from my armory, I can’t go home and am stuck doing nothing.  Fun, fun.
