shoot

I went for my reservist shoot today. Took so much time to just shoot 60 bullets! From 0830 to 1900 just to do that! What the heck.. haha. Anyways, I got a score of 78 out of 100 today. Thats like one shot away from marksman, which also meant one shot away from two hundred bucks.

Though I didnt really expect to even come close to marksman, I fought hard to bargain for the two extra points. Reason being, because there was this hole on the target board which looked ambigously like two holes. It was bigger than the normal hole and it looked very very very much like two holes cause of some semi-circle marking or whatevers. Anyway, point being, the instructor didnt want to give me the two marks of that hole no matter how much I bickered.

Who would know if two or one bullet hit that hole? The target board is solid evidence but its the ambiguity of the shot mark which brings much to question. It just doesn't look right on the surface, but who would really know what the truth of the outcome is?

I gave up arguing and demanding. There ain't no way the instructor's gonna change his mind, and neither will I. I'll just take a step back and move along.

After ranting a bit more about the two marks to my friends, I looked back at the situation again. I passed the freaking test dammit. Some around me actually failed and here I am whining about the two points to excellence. Clearly I mislooked how lucky I already am. Getting a first class shooting score on the first go and not having to retake it again. Be satisfied with whatever and wherever life brings man. Even though things may not turn out the way I really want it to be, I've got it good compared to million others yo. Cherish it.. I will.

Its just amazing how things just happen in a certain way and brings so much thought to me. I can relate.. I really can....

I am sorry but most of all thankful. <3
