I've been getting some spooky offers lately. I'm thinking if anybody gets that reference you will.
Would you choose to take the red pill or the blue pill?

i'm pretty sad because i won't be able to come to your party on the 18th...my work won't give me the weekend or the day off for that matter so we are having the detroit holiday party that day cause i have the night off. i'm hoping i'll have the morning off the day after or else that'll suck pretty bad. i really wish i could see you before you leave...hit me up online sometime in the near future. i'm pretty busy so if i'm not around just leave me a message. i hope all is going ok for you... 
32 days left, 32 fun-filled days. So much crap to do with such little time to do it!! Throw in holidays and stuff to complicate matters. Anyway, I'm ready, the few friends I've got who know, thanks for all the support, it's appreciated.
My first three months away from home will not be so bad, lot's of training, but I will be with my normal...

hey there stranger...how's it going i haven't been on sg so much lately so i've been out of it...miss you...
I'm going to a concert with Kira, Vanden, and Doctashock. Account expires at midnight, can't think of a better way to go out. Unless of course Erin showed up and wanted to get married.
Bye all.
EDIT: (OCTOBER 1, 2004) Well, even though I "unsubcribed" at Kira's house and the computer told me I ended on Sept 29th, I guess it's October 2nd, my rebilling...

Hey!!!! You are still here!!!!! 
I think I'm going the way of the good Docta. My account expires in a few days and I probably won't be renewing. Thanks Klaire for all the nice things you write all the time. Email me in the next four days so I can keep in contact with Antartica or wherever you go next. I have the emails of others I know and you...

you should cash in your army points before it goes down if you don't think you'll come back. Take care.
I've been informed that I'm trading all weapons for this, which I'm very happy about, 9mm is too small, M16 always gets in the way, it's about time someone woke up and gave field corpsman our dues.
The corpsmans new little pal.

Stuff to bring:
-baby wipes
-waterless hand cleanser
-sunblock
-sunglasses (2 pair), polarized
-all the cash you can safely carry/secure (you can only get $200/week here and that's by writing a check. You can also get $350/month cash advance on your check
-laptop
-mp3 player
-speakers for laptop
-dvd's
-reading material
-hip, paddle holster for sidearm
-Clear Eyes
-Biblical patience and a positive mental attitude on a very short lanyard...
This place sucks the big one, have no doubt about that. Just try to mentally prepare yourself for the worst so you aren't shocked once you arrive. Good luck.
Edited to say:
It definately doesn't hurt to have a great girl back stateside who will send you things you can't buy there, accept your shitty, complaining phone calls at odd hours, and make you look forward to getting back with all your fingers and toes... Mail and packages fucking rule... But the mail is not very dependable, so be prepared for that too... Usually takes about two weeks to recieve a package from the states if you're at a good FOB. Take care.

If your heart stops beating and you stop breathing, if I get to you quick enough, I can probably bring you back. If you get shot in the chest and your lung begins to collapse, I can help you breathe again. If your airway is completely obstructed, I can incise into your trachea and make you breathe. If your house is on fire, not only...

weekends over, what did we learn, it's very important not to mix together really good beer and really good wine, it's a potent sedative evidently. PHP was fun for the short bits I was actually there, though the temp dropped to make it feel a little like fall.

Weekend is over, Marines were informative. We leave on Jan 3rd, we will work up in California, much better than NC as originally planned. I'm sticking with the sniper plattoon thank god, lots of others are being shifted around so I was sweating it for a bit. I was advanced in rank, always good, more responsibilty, more pay, more everything. I have yet to tell...
