Thursday, November 8th

Today is my cousin's birthday, at least I'm pretty sure it's today. So Happy Birthday Dennis. Dennis is a bit more Liberal than I am, in fact he's really liberal compared to me and Tim (Captain Bleeding Heart) would probably get along great with him. But hey, he's my cousin and that means we're always cool no matter how we fall on the political lines.

So the coolest thing at the academy so far is learning D.T. (Defensive Tactics) Today we learned the correct stances if we are interviewing someone and need to switch to a defensive stance. Then we learned the correct way to jab and cross (punching.) Then we learned how to hit this nerve by your ear, to stun the bad guy, then pull his head down towards your chest and reel back and knee them in the chest twice, then throw them to the ground. That was seriously fun.

I'm liking the Academy thus far, minus P.T.
