So this is my first post here for a VERY long time. Mainly cuz I got a Myspace and Facebook n stuff, but I still pay attention to this, mainly to see who posts what on my friends page. And because of that, I'm following what one of my friends wrote on theirs. A list of fears that I have ( Read more... )

So yesterday was quite possibly the most fun I've ever had. I'll break it down a bit, and fill you in some of what it was and things of that sort ( Read more... )

Update, 40 days and 40 nights ( Read more... )

So before I get to the sports, I need to put something out that is in the news, and I saw in our news paper (Stars and Stripes) today. The headline reads ALL ACTIVE DUTY ARMY TOURS IN IRAQ STRETCHED TO 15 MONTHS, the story is long but the first to paragraphs are the pertinant part, I'll put them here ( Read more... )

So believe it or not, it's been 6 months to the day that I met Ashley. Hard to think now that we don't even really talk with what came out on Friday. Everything started so well, we were both ready to get married at one time, that went down hill so we moved to AZ to live together and get married. No sooner did I get there then I found I'd be in ( Read more... )

The reason I'm posting a sequal to my last blog it to put a little clarification, and add something's I've again realized.

Anyway, on with the story ( Read more... )

I was however told that at noon I'd have to be somewhere to do a detail for a "jimmy buffet tribute" concert that was held here. So I showed up and yeah it was boring. the concert wasn't half bad, ( Read more... )

So most should know by now that I am in fact in Iraq. We left Kuwait mid week early as crack of dawn in the morning. The flight it was kinda cool, they had to do a combat landing. You know the weightless feeling you get when you're on the Power Tower, it was kinda like that. We got in, got that inprocessing shit done then moved on to our spots ( Read more... )

So after the 18 hours of flight, most of which was fairly comfortable, I finally made it to Kuwait early this morning. Not like I didn't expect it, but wouldn't you know, more damn sand lol. It got fairly hot today, and is only gonna get worse. As it looks right now I'll be out of here sometime between Wednesday and Friday. That's what they are ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I will finally be on my way to Iraq. It's been over two months since I found out I was going, and I've been waiting ever since then. There's been a lot of stress, and even more training we've all done to get to this point, and now I finally feel 100% ready to do what I originally signed up to do ( Read more... )
