Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Mystic, CT

By -
I was searching for a place to start taking dance classes again after a 7 year break. One day while on my way to the Sea Swirl in Mystic for dinner, I drove by the Mystic Packer building I saw a sign for Fred Astaire Ballroom Dance Studio. I was interested so I went home and did some research online. I found there website easily http://www.fadsmystic

The Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Mystic Connecticut just opened in February 2007. The two owner's, Roglio and Vadim, were previously teachers at the Hartford and Glastonbury Fred Astaire Studios before opening there Own Studio together. I decided to take advantage of there online introductory offer of 3 classes for $35 dollars. With this offer you receive an introductory group class, a private lesson and a practice party.

I fell in love with the Studio right away. The teachers were professional and extremely nice and great at what they do. If you live in this area and are interested in learning ballroom dancing you should check them out. The great thing is you can do it with a partner or without.

Anthrax shots suck!

By -
On Friday we had a three mile road march with our IBA and Weapons. Luckily it wasn't timed and we didn't have to do it in formation. I am the second shortest person in the unit, so I have really small strides. It took me an hour and 20 minutes to finish. I just took my time. Normally on the PT test I walk 2.5 miles in 35 minutes. But I was in no rush to finish with a 17 pound vest and 8 pound weapon. To top off the day we got anthrax shots. It was my first one in a series on 6 shots. Let me tell you it feels like they are trying to kill me or something! The actual shot didn't hurt, I could barely feel the need go in. about 20 seconds after I got the shot my arm felt like it was on fire! That only lasted for about 2 minutes and then I was good to go, until yesterday. I looked at the spot where I got the shot and it is a huge bump and red spot there. It is also really sore. I swear I also felt like I had a rapid heart beat all day yesterday. I talked one of my other fr

The M2 .50 Caliber Machine Gun

Yeah I did it. Today I got to learn to break down, put together and Engage targets with the M2 50 Caliber Machine Gun (nicknamed the Ma Deuce). These weapons are usually the ones you'll see mounted on a HUMVEE during convoys in the desert. Again this was mt first time, seeing, touching and firing this weapon. Let me give you some background. It Weighs 84 pounds (I'm 112), It's 65 inches long (I'm 61.5 inches). So I thought the charging handle on the M249 was bad, this was worse. I had to put both feet on the tripod and pull back the charging handle with both hands and that was still a struggle. Taking it a part wasn't many steps, but the bolt was heavy and you had to use a lot of strength to put the spring back in. So when I finally got to the simulator to fire it, I had pretty tight shot groups, but my contacts kept moving around in my eyes and they got so blurry at the end that I couldn't see the targets. This weapon gets 119 rounds to qualify and you need to
