Day 8

Well folks, nothing real special here. The days seem to be getting shorter for some reason, but they start out really early. We had "weight training" this morning, but it just ended up being team sports. I played volleyball and hit the speedbag until the skin off of my knuckles started to tear off... others played basketball.

We wrapped up Aero today, which leaves us really with nothing but a Weather test tomorrow and then the tower jump/underwater swim. THAT should be interesting.

My roommate was in the Spin and Puke then the Pressure chamber today. She said she played pattycake with an Italian and kept hitting her head until she sort of blacked out (meaning she didn't remember what happened after she got out of the chamber) and reached Hypoxia. The point is to know what your limits and signals are, what your body recognizes as being in a state of hypoxia, and when to put that mask on feeding you pure oxygen. Ahhhh... refreshing.

Not much here, later guys!
