I have re-enlisted. Not as extravagant as  I thought it was going to be  but its done and over with ( Read more... )

Well I still have a couple of more days in Ramadi. I cant wait to leave tho. Re-enlist and then go home on leave. I figure my bonus will hit while i'm home so that could be a good and a bad thing. but i'm more anxious about seeing my family and my girl than $57,500. but not by much.I wanna see my nephews so bad. i miss those crazy dudes. They are ( Read more... )

Well I will be leaving Ramadi to go back to Al Asad in a few days. As soon as I get back I can re-enlist. Hopefully that will give enough time for it to process and I may get to have my bonus before or while i'm home. My leave is approved for the 25th so I think I should be home by then (weather permitting). I can't wait to be home. I get to see my ( Read more... )

well i found out my leave starts on Aug 25th. not the 15th like i wanted so i could be home for my oldest nephews birfday. so screwed again. i should really stop believing them when they tell me anything. anyhoo. i'm still alive tho. can't wait to go home.

Yesterday....

So i got off work, and went to see about having my power turned on. again. It only took them 2 freakin hours to come turn it back on.

Also, I ( Read more... )

My power doesnt work in my room. Therefore my AC doesnt work. So it's either sweat my nuts off or walk forvever back to work and update my LJ. here i am. This is def the worst part of the deployment by far. It was going pretty smooth and then I get to come here. FML. But i'll be home in like 39 days. So I'll just grin and bare it like always. I ( Read more... )

of not smoking. I almost gave in. but i didnt. I did buy a paintball magazine. Just makes me wanna play it more. I really need to work out.i havent did anything since I came to Ramadi. I dont wanna get out of the habit. Well i'm gonna go sleep. good night all

I just smoked my last cigarette. I already feel a little edgy. so this probably won't turn out good.  My sleep schedule is still all messed up.I've got poker on the brain. i may have a poker party when im home. who knows. i feel tired right now. maybe i will get to sleep soon. yeah ok. i'll update more later

SO i'm stil bored out of my mind. Ihave plenty of time to think about things which may not be a good thing. Can we put a price on freedom? $57,500? I mean that's basically what it comes down to in my head. i could be financially set up for probably the rest of my life. Or I could get out, go to school and have to work for a living. I mean I might ( Read more... )
