Getting Ready

Time is getting closer and closer for me to re-enlist and I look back and its hard to believe its been 10 years already. I have so enjoyed my time in the military that I look forward to another 6 years, which I will be re-enlisting for come 1Apr. Its has been a fun ride so far and I have meet some truly awesome people from all over the US and abroad. I have most enjoyed my time spent in San Diego though, the weather the people and most of all a special lady there! I look forward everyday to seeing her again.

I am looking forward to being home and seeing everyone soon. Have a good day and I miss you all

So ummm

I was just reading brother Randy's blog and saw his new tattoo. Which looked pretty cool and its a very big symbol of the friendship that Tracy, him and I have shared throughout the years. To which I can only say thank you guys for being awesome!

So what the hell have I been doing your wondering, well lets see here. I have been learning still how to manage my time first and foremost. Why is that you ask, well because without learning that shit and trying to improve on it everyday there is no way that I would be able to do the 6 jillion things a day that I need or want to accomplish. Some of those things are very mundane others are dumb but all things I need to do to be done with my work for the day. Such things as cleaning, gear or repairing broken gear while its sucks and is very boring to do, well its part of the job. Other things I enjoy a lot like helping people because I can learn from them some small detail that I never knew before or better ways to do existing chores.

An with what little free time I have currently I have managed to finish another book called Blood Memory by Greg Iles which was phenomenal! I have made another post about one of his other books I read which was also very good. So stop being a slack ass an pick em up and read them they are great. Lets see I have also managed to find time to study for my rating exam that's coming up pretty fast. I am hoping that if I kick this ones ass the percentage of advancees will drop just enough for me to get in there. It has been a fucking pain in the ass trying to advance over the last four years because of all the rate mergers and shit. So that is my current mission is to lay waste to this exam and make some extra cash!

Lets see what else we got, well I am missing a certain young lady named Holly. I definitely believe she is the yin to my yang! I mean like we just settle into each other like a black and tan hehehe. Had to toss a lil redneck talk in there. I am super stoked to be home soonish and see her again. I am also looking forward to going to Aruba and doing an ass ton of diving. I miss diving a hellva lot especially when I have no chance to do it. I equate diving to sex and breathing you never miss it until your not getting any!

Most of all I just wanted to say this will prolly be my last post for awhile because we are going to be super busy for awhile. If I do manage to find some time and have anything worth while to talk about I will surely pop on here and leave something but otherwise ill talk to everyone as soon as I can.

As always I love and miss you all

F'in A!

Holy hell I blinked twice yesterday or something and bam its fucking March already. Time really flies when your having fun I guess. Cause you all know that there is just some much fun to be had over here. All we do is go out clubbing and shit, hahahahaha I mean fuck I guess I just woke up from a dream. That's the shit I wanna be doing.

So anyways today I am working out and the Creed song My Own Prison comes on, and I guess I never really heard it before like I did today. Today it just got a whole new fucking meaning for me. It kind of hit me like we are all our own prison's, you choose what you let people see of you and such. But also your trapped in yourself, while also choosing what type of cell you want to be locked into. My choice was obvious I choose to be locked away in the military. Other peoples vary as well and we are all very different but in a lot of ways we are all the same. Some of the shit I see and hear only further makes me believe these things, and i know not everyone will agree with me here but just keep your mind open to a new idea or maybe not so new an idea as a new opinion. What the fuck am I talking about you ask, well let me break it down like this. Whats the difference between a christian extremist and a Muslim extremist? A christian extremist will blow up an abortion clinic and a Muslim extremist will blow up a building of Islamic believers or infidels. Now some would say that those are very different, but coming right down to it, they both do it because of what they believe in! That my friends is Their own prison, those are the four walls that surround their brains and they refuse to listen to any new ideas or opinions and are very resistant to change.

So what is the moral of this story? Let me see here I would say to keep an open mind to all things and try to not judge anything at face value. Unlock the doors to your comfort zone and step the fuck out and enjoy life all while being who it is you want to be and FUCK everyone else that don't like what you have to say.

As always I love and miss everyone.
