I heard my first mortar round today! (enemy fire) I also tried to call Keira. Still with Rachel. Hopes were up, but shot down. Soon as I get a calling card I will call who ever wishes for me to call them. Let me know with a comment.

I've made it safely to Baghdad. I am at camp stryker. We do have the internet and telephone shit out here so I will try to keep in touch as much as possible. Please snail mail me! I don't know if I gave the address to someone or not. I don't remember it off hand though. So someone reply to this if you have it or want it. Care packages are ( Read more... )

So I haven't written in here in a long time. If anyone still reads this I have one heck of an update. I leave for Baghdad on monday. Iraq here I come! Don't know how long i'll be there.

My weekend off was nice. The other night I was looking at pictures of friends for my photo album. I started thinking about relationships of the past and girls and such. I wish I could have thought more about the situations then like I do now cause I think I could have had a lot of great opportunities. I want to apologize to Brittany Leigh for ( Read more... )

Got the room moving done and the new room isn't too bad. Still going to get the apt. though. Got some good news that I will be becoming an admin. on monday. That means I work in the office and not in the kitchen. Less stress, sorta. Should be fun. Still the F#%Kin man at Halo! Got off this weekend so I think i'm going to get trashed tomorrow ( Read more... )

A little tired but thought I could update before a nap. Had to work the last two days from 4am until 3pm. Tiring work. I challenge anyone that thinks cooking in a kitchen for 500 ppl is easy. I saw a cool license plate, Jersey plates "GOT PEZ". Thought that was cool. Making a photo album of some of my fondest memories. Hooah! I just got a ( Read more... )
