With a military background, you’d think I would have dominated my competition in my first paintball experience, but was not the case. They dominated me, not because I can’t shoot or hide – I was too impatient.
After some of the enemies opponents (Sage and Trinity Calugar, Devin Hannigan, Malik Cooper, Rochelle Jimenez and Jake Huntoon) remembered that I had served in the military, they began to cringe at my knowledge. I added to that intimidation with a new identification: Enforcer X.
Using my special hiding skills, I decided to disappear close to the public area (hiding skills?) and wait for everyone to come out. Once everyone was well-blended with the forest, I began my campaign.
Within two minutes from the start, I spotted Sage, who had been watching me the entire time. She showed mercy and allowed me to move away from her. I knew right there that I was in bad shape.
After running away from Sage, I went and found an actual hiding spot. No one sought any action, so I got bored. I began to look for people, and what happened? I took a shot in the arm and the vest by Devin.
How does the experienced one, Enforcer X, get eliminated first? Talk about the embarrassment I felt as I stood and watched the action unravel for those next 30 minutes.
Once everyone had lost, we played another round. This time, I was destined to prove myself. I hid in a great location, laid down in the prone position and anxiously waited for someone to cross my path.
Sadly, everyone else must’ve been doing the same thing, because no one moved anywhere. I got bored again, after five minutes of sitting quietly. Now I know how little kids feel in classrooms.
So, I get up and began slowly moving away from my spot…only to be shot a couple of times by Jake. I was done playing after that. I had to wait, again, for everyone else to leave their hiding spots and shoot each other.
I was 0-for-2 in wins and the first person killed in both rounds. And the only good memory that I’ve kept with me is this nice scar on my right arm. Now, what exactly did I learn in the military?
