A week ago my buddy Malta was coming back from Chili's restaurant by himself. He had drank a little at Chilli's and was feeling nice and mellow. Malta went to go 'push' open the door when his hand went through the glass. He had put his hand through a 'pull' door."It took me 10 seconds to realize what I did and 10 seconds to realize I had hurt myself."
He was cut up from the glass. Luckily, there were airmen behind him who called for help.
"Thinking about which way the door opened was not on my mind."
The security forces who showed up got ahold of Corporal KC. KC drove Malta to the emergency room.
We was cleaned up and the small shards of glass were removed from his right hand. He was x-rayed and then was given two staples in his wrist.
He was told to take it easy with his hand and gave him a sling and told him not to get the wound wet.
The security forces ruled it a "medical accident" in other words, "whoops".
At the end of the week he had to confront our first sergeant. The first sergeant is in charge of all the enlisted Marines in the company. He also is in charge of punishments. He gave Malta a Page 11. A Page 11 is bad paperwork, in this case, it said Malta destroyed government property.
And of course, Malta always smiling had to put his funny spin on things. Losing his burger was, "Probably the most tragic part of the night."
