Slightly inebriated yet again...
In the middle of an NRA Basic Handgun Instructor Course. I'm hoping I become a Certified Instructor vice an Assistant Instructor.
I feel I'm not doing extremely well, but it really won't bother me if I don't become a CI, as I signed up only to better myself and learn a thing or two about teaching so I'm not an A-HOLE at the range for bringing brand new clueless shooters to the range and teach them a thing or two beforehand. I just want to open up people's minds to firearms and try to get away from Hawaii's antigun culture.
I wish this course was on a different weekend...I typically am a very responsible drinker (I no longer drink to excess like the "college days"), but this week has been very depressing. I volunteered up to be an intramural shooter representing 2MARDIV HQ Bn, when a few days later, I was offered a chance to be demobilized and sent home early. Afterward, I was told it was a mistake...that someone said that in jest, but a boot Lieutenant took it seriously. Turns out we were told that to keep from F'ing off, and that everyone who signed up was going home within 7 days...except for the three in my platoon on the intramural group. I wanted to pull out all the stops and just binge to have fun and take my mind off it this weekend, but I know I must be responsible as firearms are being utilized.
I hope everyone else is having a good weekend...
