The day Ghost saw a DI laugh and lived

14:10	planefag	I WANNA SEE MY SMILE IN THOSE TILES, MUHREEN
14:10	Demetrious	well that's an easy order to replicate
14:10	Demetrious	you get a magic marker and draw the DS smiling on the floor
14:10	LurKapre	oh crap deme
14:10	Demetrious	becuase god fucking knows they'll never smile on their own
14:11	Ghostdivision	oh
14:11	Ghostdivision	no
14:11	Ghostdivision	no no no deme
14:11	Ghostdivision	no
14:11	Ghostdivision	they smile
14:11	Ghostdivision	they do
14:11	Demetrious	yeah, ghost
14:11	Ridire	they smile evilly
14:11	Demetrious	but nobody's ever lived to tell about it
14:11	Ghostdivision	but you *NEVER* Want to see it
14:11	phyros1417	they smile when someone else is about to encounter something extremely unfortunate
14:11	Ghostdivision	I saw one laugh
14:11	Ghostdivision	not evilly
14:11	phyros1417	and you lived?
14:11	Ghostdivision	he was laughing
14:11	Ghostdivision	uh huh
14:12	Ghostdivision	shit was great
14:12	phyros1417	and you didn't get the medal?
14:12	Ghostdivision	So
14:12	Ghostdivision	when i was on the island
14:12	Ghostdivision	I got sick.
14:12	Ghostdivision	Pneumonia
14:12	Ghostdivision	I was like "Fuck it, whatever, I'll be fine"
14:12	Ghostdivision	pro tip
14:12	Ghostdivision	that doesn't work
14:12	phyros1417	no, not for pneumonia
14:12	Ghostdivision	so by the time I'm down to... uh
14:13	Ghostdivision	130lbs? i think?
14:13	Ghostdivision	My Senior says I'm going to sick call
14:13	Ghostdivision	because "YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR ASS HAS BEEN IN A CAMP RECRUIT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT EATING?"
14:13	Ghostdivision	"Sir this recruit hasn't been hungry."
14:13	Ghostdivision	"YOUR ASS IS FUCKED UP YOU'RE GOING TO SICK CALL."
14:13	Ghostdivision	so I do
14:13	Ghostdivision	hang on
14:14	Ghostdivision	so I do
14:14	Ghostdivision	but I go as a non emergency case
14:14	Ghostdivision	so I sit there most of the morning
14:15	Ghostdivision	and then the navy nurse that's on duty calls me up and tries to get my vitals
14:15	Ghostdivision	no dice
14:15	Ghostdivision	"Huh."
14:15	Ghostdivision	so she tries again
14:15	Ghostdivision	nope
14:15	Ghostdivision	so she gets one of the navy dudes to take me down to emergency care, to use their machine
14:15	Ghostdivision	that gets my vitals
14:16	Ghostdivision	and they're all fucked
14:16	Ghostdivision	"Oh neat. guess who gets an X-ray?"
14:16	Ghostdivision	"This recruit?"
14:16	Ghostdivision	"Bingo! get your shirt off and take off your dogtags and glasses"
14:16	Ghostdivision	get an x-ray
14:16	Ghostdivision	chest is opaque
14:16	phyros1417	they all get so excited when they have something to do, don't they?
14:16	Ghostdivision	"Recruit, where the fuck are your lungs?"
14:16	Ghostdivision	apparently
14:17	Ghostdivision	lungs aren't supposed to be opaque
14:17	Sentinel	they're not
14:17	Ghostdivision	this was news to me at the time
14:17	Ghostdivision	So they stick me for an IV and call the civilian hospital, Beaufort Memorial
14:17	Ghostdivision	Civilian hospital sends amberlamps
14:18	Ghostdivision	Ghost spends the next week and a half in the civilian world with 3 'visits' from the senior
14:18	Ghostdivision	the first of which goes thusly
14:18	Ghostdivision	"RECRUIT HAVE YOU CALLED HOME?"
14:18	Ghostdivision	"This recruit didn't know he was allowed to"
14:18	Ghostdivision	"THAT FUCKIN PHONE GETS A LINE OUT USE IT"
14:18	Ghostdivision	"Aye sir"
14:18	Ghostdivision	"AND FUCKING SHAVE"
14:18	Ghostdivision	"Aye sir"
14:18	Ghostdivision	then he left
14:18	Ghostdivision	annnnyway
14:19	Demetrious	>amberlamp
14:19	Ghostdivision	so I dran for a week and a half
14:19	Ghostdivision	drain*

14:19	Ghostdivision	get put on more meds than anyone ever
14:19	Ghostdivision	antifungal, antibacterial, pain killers, all sorts of fun shit
14:20	Ghostdivision	Get sewn up (I'd been draining via half inch diameter pipes stuck in my back and fish tubes from my sides)
14:20	Draftsman	eugh
14:20	Ghostdivision	So

14:22	Ghostdivision	spend like, four days there 'healing'
14:22	Ghostdivision	get sent back to PI
14:22	Ghostdivision	In EHP which BLOWS DILDO CHUNKS NEVER GO THERE
14:22	Ghostdivision	Seriously, I should have been in MRP, but apparently that's only for bone and joint damage
14:22	Ghostdivision	ANYWAY
14:23	Ghostdivision	have to go back to the BMC for a follow-up
14:23	Ghostdivision	Sitting there in the chairs in the hallway next to a kid from RSP, the seperations platoon
14:23	Ghostdivision	he's going home, he could literally give no fucks
14:23	Ghostdivision	He's whistling kinda under his breath
14:24	Ghostdivision	Female DI and Male DI walk past. Female DIs, btw, are like, rabid turbobadgers on PCP
14:24	Ghostdivision	that have been spliced with hornets. that are also on PCP
14:24	Inquis	Filled with hate and more hate then.
14:24	Ghostdivision	She hears him whistling
14:24	Ghostdivision	she stops
14:25	Ghostdivision	I'm directly next to him, so I'm dead too. Collateral damage
14:25	Kirisame_Marisa	I wish I had a daughter like Merlin!
14:25	Ghostdivision	so as I'm making my peace with god and the male DI is stopping to back her up
14:25	Ridire	ENEMY FEMALE DRILL INSTRUCTOR INBOUND
14:25	planefag	SHOUT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
14:25	Ghostdivision	she goes
14:26	Ghostdivision	'WERE YOU WHISTLING AT ME YOU LITTLE SHITSTAIN? YOU WANT THIS? YOU THINK YOU COULD HANDLE THIS?"
14:26	Ghostdivision	and the kid, swear to god
14:26	Ghostdivision	looks at her
14:26	Ghostdivision	and says
14:26	Ghostdivision	"YES MA'AM RECRUIT WOULD HIT IT FROM BEHIND"
