It was a very painful and action packed experience. I did learn how to do an arm bar from the mount and the guard which is pretty cool.
On Wednesday we boxed... which I have learned that I would rather lose the fight than beat up on someone I know. I had to fight two girls. I was so much bigger than they were. It was exactly evenly matched... and thats all I have to say about that.
Then I fought a guy. He had the reach and weight advantage on me. So my logic was... if I can't beat him standing up I will give it a shot and take him to the ground... the only problem is it is hard to fight on the ground with boxing gloves.
Needless to say it was fun and, as I said before, I advanced up a belt which is exciting.
This morning I shadowed Cpl Castillo on the radio. That was pretty fun. I even got a call in that complimented me which was exciting. I had a couple mess ups... but nothing too serious. The 9 year olds calling in and requesting songs was kind of a pain.
Anyways... I hope to head to the "city" tonight (Naha) and get some good food and good pictures. If not I promise to get some more pictures soon.
Well that is all for now... wish everyone back in the states the best.

Badass. This reminds me of the time you and Mitch wrestled outside Ehringhaus.
