It's a really pleasant, balmy day in London, today... and all I can think of is how much I'd rather be in Chicago.

Last summer was so fucking awesome. I wish every summer was like that.

Haha. I would have been. I wanted to go into the RAF at sixteen, but I couldn't, and when I wanted to go into the territorial army I just couldn't because I was misdiagnosed with asthma.

That and the fact I'm female and they don't allow women in the Paras, much less Englishwomen in the Airborne.

Well, I did tell him you were British. You can't exactly run out and join up if you live in a different country. lol

I didn't know they don't allow women in the Paras. That's fucking stupid.

They don't allow us in the infantry, either. Closest to action you can really get in the UK is being on the Light Gun, which is like a small canon they drop from Hercules aircraft and assemble on the ground with a team of three.
