Movin on up
I am no longer the lowly private I once was. The army saw fit to promote me to Specialist. Effective 1 July 2007, Date of rank 26 July 2007. Plus it was ahead of my two year mark too. In other words I got a waiver. Truth be told, I haven't really stopped smiling since ( Read more... ) -
Let me tell you what....
After that drunk post, man that was the worst hang over ever. The damn thing lasted 12 hours. Let me tell you what though I really don't care. Most fun I've had in a long time. The best part was probably that my Platoon sergeant was laughing at me the whole day. At any rate, there have been other things going on since before then, though ( Read more... ) -
This is a drunk entry
After an extensive game of mario party 8, I have decided to post a drunk entry. The only reason I'm drunk is because I promised Boles that if I beat him in the batting mini game challenge that I ( Read more... ) -
The monthly rant
Man am I glad that June is over. Whew!! I think that during that whole month I managed to not be at work a total of about 5 days. Up till then I had a good system I was rolling along pretty good, then I was working every weekend. Guess what I can't do on the weekends? TMDE drops that's what. Eh, but that's all over now. Things are already ( Read more... ) -
Bad News Everyone
I just got an email from my mother informing me that my grandmother had a heart attack, had angioplasty, and is currently diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease. I really don't know what to do right now. I'd like to see her one last time while she can still see me, but I don't know if that's going to be possible. I haven't seen her since 2002 ( Read more... ) -
A Board Moment Brought to you by the Military
When I joined the military I never had any aspirations, nor goals, nor any idea of what I should do with the rest of my days on this Earth. Quite quickly though I soon came to the realization that I desired to be an NCO; a leader of soldiers, of the men and women that fight to defend freedom around the globe. Such as it is, it's not so easy to ( Read more... ) -
The state of things
It has been six months since I got in country, and I can easily say that if the rest of my tour here goes as the first quarter has gone I shall leave Korea a happy man. I managed to get my AIP paperwork before they decided to change the system, so I am getting an extra 300 cash a month. That's good stuff right there. I've finally gotten my ( Read more... ) -
Resposibility
Certainly the easiest thing on earth to acquire. Most, if not all, times without your knowledge or consent. Since my second month in the merry old land of OZ I was set to be heir to the throne of TMDE. I'm not quite sure what motivation MSG had to make me the new TMDE coordinator, but I do know that it was most likely the single point of failure ( Read more... ) -
Unremarkable
As a forewarning I'm not entirely sure what brought on this line of though, but I'm going to dump it all out here in hopes that someone can discount what I've put down ( Read more... ) -
Exercise blues
The past week or so have seen all of the army bases in Korea on an exercise called RSO&I. Not quite sure what it stands for, but it sucked just the same. Well, let me rephrase that. It was a minor annoyance until today. Let me explain a little. The exercise began with an alert call at 0400 about a week ago. So, we had to get up, get dressed ( Read more... )
