So this week has been a tough one and I am dealing with some stuff at the sheriffs office that is hard to deal with but I have been there a lot this week. The other day I was there and I was talking to Sergeant Fray about what was going on when I heard a male voice behind me say "excuse me Sergeant" Well I'm a Sergeant to but I thought he was talking to Sergeant Fray so I didn't answer then I heard "Sergeant Crounk" so I turned only to be greeted by him spitting in my face. So I took him to the ground until a crowd of deputies came over and someone handcuffed him and took him in the other room. I just got up off the floor and brushed of my cloths off and grabbed a wipe and cleaned my face. I noticed that Sergeant Fray was looking at me like he wanted to say something so I asked him what. He asked if I was ever afraid when I left the sheriffs office. I didnt really get what he meant so I said not really. Then he said "but you're a girl.....And?" I was mad I hate when people think just because I'm a girl I can't handle myself. So I asked him
"and what?"
"well its just that you're a girl"
"Alright I get that I am a girl I understand but just because I am a girl doesnt mean I cant handle myself doesnt mean I am weak doesnt mean I should be in a kitchen istead of here. Doesnt mean I cant do this job and it doesnt mean I need to be afraid every second of the day!"
....One thing that bugs me so increadably much is when people doubt me because I am a girl or because they think I can't handle it. People do it to me when I tell the I am going into the Marines...."You're going into the Marines? You think you can handle that?" "If you get into the Marines" We will see when the time comes if you actually get into the Marines" "Why don't you go with the Army" "Well there is always this when you don't get into the Marines" and the list goes on! Stop doubting me! I know what I want and I know its not easy but I can do it

OH my heck! I can't believe someone spit in your face! I wish you would have "accidentally" broken his arm when you took him to the ground.
And as for all those people who doubt you because you're a girl...it just makes for a longer list of people to prove wrong when you kick their butts and their doubts. You can do it Marina. You know you can, we know you can.
I ditto what Deborah said a hundred times!!!!!
