Wow... its been a long time since I've commented on here about anything. Well what's happened since November? LOTS! I've changed units and am no longer with grunt infantry units. It was kind of an interesting change I've gone from being 2nd in charge of an aid station for a regiment to the #1 guy of an arty battalion. Its been tons of work and...

I'm a sneaky bastard...

After taking my lovely wife whitewidow to a surprise showing of Cirque's Kooza she thought that was about it and that I'd blown my wad when it came to her birthday stuff.

I got to celebrate a late Christmas with the majority of my family, and this weekend my sister and uncle came down to throw a surprise 60th birthday for my mom. Its been some great times but exhausting. I...

In typical military fashion its a big hurry up and wait game, I've got all the gear I needed to turn in taken care of and my bags pretty much packed. I'm pretty much living out of my sea bag so that all I have to do is throw a few things into it haul ass. The flying back to the state on Thursday is...

In typical 3rd battalion 1st Marines fashion things are about as clear as mud... but there is bottom to be found if you dig deep enough. Tonight at a little before 10pm I found out that my flight home could be as soon as Thursday. I'm pretty happy about that, but the timing with everything else could have been better.

I've still got to:

OK that has to be a record for me as to how long its taken me to change my post... SEPTEMBER!!!! What a dork I am. Granted I was deployed on ship for a while so I wasn't able to get on SG so there is a bit of an excuse but I've been back in Okinawa for a few weeks.

So far everything has...
