haven't been around much of late. Life has intervened. Between work, the girl and more work, life has been hectic.
Work is ramping up and has been extremely busy of late. Alot of training and military exercises to train for a deployment I won't be making. It makes for some long and tedious days. If you never have to write a CASREP in your life,...

Awesome shows, brother - especially the Foo Fighters/Serj Tankian show. I would have loved to been at one like that! 
thejuanupsman:
Glad to hear things are going well. Hope to see you around again when things slow down for you.
I really have little to report as of now.
As some of you intrepid readers already know, I'm dating someone and she makes me happy. And this is good. I can be me around her and feel no need or desire to curb any of my normal behaviors when she's near. And coming from someone who used to adapt to whoever he was with, this...

radiofrank:
That would be excellent.

Thanks.
I'm glad to hear that 2008 has started off well for you (on all counts), brother. I'm especially glad that you've been posted to a place that isn't Iraq.
...it means I can pester you on a regular basis.

Have fun!
toothpickmoe:
Enjoy.
Thanksgiving... Mixed bag of feelings.
I have things to be thankful for, yes. I have two amazing children. I have a small handful of friends I know will be there in a moment if shit hits the fan. I have a job. I have a home. I'm still breathing.
But, unfortunately, Thanksgiving for me marks "The Beginning of the Suck". Some of you may remember...

True. I'm also given to understand that the surge has pacified things considerably, though whether that will hold probably depends on whether a political settlement can be made - otherwise the current policy must just be setting the stage for full-scale warlordism.
American troops would probably be withdrawn before that happened, though.
Even so, as you say, it's still dangerous.

I didn't change my number; it's the same as before. I'm using a calling card, so that may be why you didn't recognize it.
So, not alot going on.
Just hanging out and spent the evening with some fellow FNLHCers. Saw a decent band or two tonight as well. Idiot Box is a rockin little San Diego band if you ever get a chance.
Other San Diego bands to look out for? Sure, I'd love to give you some names. The Drowning Men. Cabron. Secret Apollo. There are more,...

don't worry, they play a lot!
radiofrank:
Good stuff, brother. I should really make a point of checking out the local music scene...
I haven't been without facial hair in almost six years, and it's odd. I've been told that I look much younger. That being said, I'm toying with the idea of growing a mountain-man type beard. Ha.
Time permitting, I will call you in the next few days. It's been way too long.

Well, the fires are pretty much under control and life is returning to normal for most of Southern California. SO, in order to offset the 'serious' nature of my last journal, I give you this: A list of U.S. navy Slang. These are some of the terms I use and hear every day. Some are not so nice, some are odd and some are just...

utilikilt? what kind of raging homo do you take me for?
So, some interest and concern has been expressed about my proximity to the wild fires that are currently ravaging San Diego County.
Yes, over half of a million people have been evacuated.
Yes, over two hundred thousand acres have been burned.
Yes, homes and lives are being lost. Luckily more homes than lives. The loss of life has been very minimal. Only one person to...

HOPe all is well in San Diego. My buddies in 31g family are out there and I need to call. Thank you so much for the fact that you got the Bad REligion Reference!! SCore!!!
shesinparties:
you are right on about the Red Cross. when my apartment burned down in 2002, literally leaving me with nothing but the clothes on my back, they tracked me down and really helped me out. they gave me vouchers for clothes, furniture, and household items, totaling about $3000. i don't know what i would have done without them. i donate to them all the time, they are angels. glad you are safe
So, its that time. Time for me to choose orders. Orders that will determine where I go and what I do for the next two to three years of my life.
The choices play out like this:
Japan. Several sets of orders for Japan. Ummm, no thanks.
Norfolk, VA. Fuck that.
San Diego (where I am now) at a school command. Hmmm, did that before....
