i know that you guys hate me because i never update...

it isn't that i don't have time becuase i actually do for the most part...i guess it is because i am lazy...

anyhow thanks to all that wished me a happy birthday...i thought that 30 would be different but...well it isn't...and a special thanks to missdateswho thought i was much younger...i actually get that a lot...

i was thinking the other day...i actually do that everyonce in a while...that in three months we will be leaving to go to IRAQ...that hit me a little hard...although i have known for sometime now it has not been as real as it is now...wow i can't wait 'till november

seeing that i passed my PT test i am finally going to get promoted to PFC (Private First Class) for the second time (the first time was in 1994 ) so that will mean a $300 pay raise and i should get my SPC (Specialist) before we deploy or at most by January...

If i have not already said i plan on re-enlisting in IRAQ to take advantage of the tax free bonus...i can get up to 15,000 tax free and well that is just too much to turn down...as it is will all the special pay i should save at least 20,000 which will help me pay off all my bad debt so that i can get a credit score that is not less than my weight i mean geez i am thiry i should own my own damn house by now...

well once again forthe next few weeks we are going to be in the field...which is actually fun...if it wasn't so damn hot around here...it also means that i save money which is a good thing

something that i have noticed is that it hardley rains in kansas...what the hell is up with that...since i have been back a month now it has rained a total of 4 to 5 times makse me really miss arizona...

well i have to be up at 0330 hrs so later...
