Today was amazing! I got an awesome opportunity to walk in an EOD tech's shoes.. sort of. Today I was invited to come on post to Shawn's company and wear the bomb suit. I came in and they put me in a bomb suit and had me doing obstacles, and different task that tech's have to do with the suit on. I can tell you now, IT IS HARD! It was pretty heavy, hard to move, and difficult to perform everyday task. I had to squat down and come back up, pick a coin up off of the ground, walk back and forth, run, and the funnest of them all... lay on my back and GET UP with no help. I wish it was video tapped because it was hilarious from my stand point I can just imagine what it was like to watch me. BUT, I did it and I got up all on my own! I was so proud and so was Shawn. Everyone that was watching was yelling and supportive and telling me I could do it. It was great and I will never forget this experience.
I have a huge respect for those men and women because I only went through about an hours worth of it and they go through soooo much more!
It was amazing! That is all I can continue to say. But anyway, I now have decided to start working out because my strength has disappeared.. HAHA.
