Guess which one won?  This is what happens when you use a Dell Inspiron as target practice during Reflexive fire.  I dug a round out of the hard drive for the owner when we all got done unloading weeks of frustration on the poor thing.  The hard drive is the silver box next to the screen.  It was shot clear out of the laptop.  Interestingly, the Dell casing and parts were so flimsy that the laptop didn’t even fall over for the first several shots.  The rounds just passed right through it with almost no resistance. 

I wonder if the Dell extended warranty covers this?

Yes, I have sold my soul to the US Government.  I re-enlisted.  I got a buttload of cash and a Flight Medic slot (the very last class slot for 2008 it turns out).  We will soon be mostly out of debt, and possibly able to take a real vacation when I get home.  I guess I can officially call this a re-career.

I would like to thank my wife for supporting this.  Without the support of my family, I couldn’t do this.  I mean, when I re-enlist, in effect they re-enlist with me.  It wasn’t an easy decision for any of us, but in the end I think it was the right one.
