Bunch of good shit has been happening the last couple of days. First, I got accepted to every college I applied to, which means I'll be going to my number one pick, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, starting Fall 2011. They offered me a full ride without touching my GI Bill and the ROTC offered me a commission after two years as long as I finish...

I'll never be the gray man so I need to adjust to that better I think...

Thank you! I think being enlisted then going officer is the only way to go so I wish you luck with you plans! 
Last two weeks have been fucking crammed! The sergeant in charge of the office PCSed to Florida so they put me in charge. So there is now a corporal (me) doing a platoon sergeant's job and I have the wrong job specialty so I'm never completely certain about what is going on. So far it's been pretty smooth, there was one incident when the only...

Last two pictures are gorgeous.
Sorry about the wreck. I did about the same thing, a year ago. Minus insurance. Womp.
At least they gave you an SUV to trudge around in the snow! Nice.
And congrats on the weight loss. What're you doing for it?

Finally getting back in to shape and I feel dead on my feet. I put on so much extra weight over the last month and a half. I hurt my knee, then I visited my parents house for 2 1/2 weeks, then I got cut in the bar fight and couldn't do a whole lot, but as of Monday I was clear to work out...

That is one insane diet my friend. I don't know how you do it! Working out is fun but diets are torture!!

LOVE that John Adams quote.
And good luck with the diet. That's insane.

Finally finished the deployment video that I have been working on for a while.
Had my battle buddies send me the pics they took during the deployment and some of them really opened my eyes to how close we came to losing guys almost everyday we rolled out. One of the guys had a picture of my truck after our worst hit, I was surprised...

Thank you for sharing your video. I loved it and I love that you are here to tell the story.
I put together a video for my Dad for his 53rd birthday. Didn't know what to get him, but luckily I keep random family pictures on my hard drive and I found a fitting song called "Old Soldier".
Now I'm working on another deployment video. Should have it up in a day or so.
Also, I found out that because of the way they did...

Fucking tore my stitches open. Had a flashback while I was half asleep last night, dove out of bed and when I rolled sideways I nailed my back on my dresser. Got blood all over so I had to ask my neighbor to put duct tape on it so I could scrub my carpet before the blood soaked in. Then I had to drive myself...

I honestly can't wait to get the expansion..the pirate expansion! I'm so broke lately that I can't afford it just yet but it's definitely on my list
I never thought I'd get into FPS games but I'm really loving Halo right now!

First time going out since I was back in Jersey and I ended up in the ER. My friends and I went to our usual bar and a big fight broke out. When we saw that the two bouncers wouldn't be able to handle it we decided to wade in and help out. In the aftermath four guys got arrested and about ten other people...

Bar fights are rough stuff, glad you came out of it with only a few scars and a good story. Hope the bouncers appreciated you gents saving their asses.

Niiiiice! Thanks!
And yeah, I know they make them from rubber now, but I mean I don't want like the cheap-o, thin rubber mask. Ya know?

The trip to Philly was awesome! Picked up the guys in NY then it took us two hours to get to Philly. By the time we got there the three guys riding with me had already polished off a 24 pack of Coors Light and half a bottle of Jack. Got to our hotel and things went downhill. I remember about three games of beer...
