Talk about a boring Memorial Day weekend, I guess when you're the duty EMT that's not such a big thing and could be a good thing. The highligh of my weekend was sticking a couple sailors with an 18ga needle in order to rehydrate them. Or maybe it was the fact that I did a couple loads of laundry. About the best thing that...

WOW! The last couple weeks were great, my lovely wife whitewidow and I finally got our well deserved vacation. A place right on the beach (even if we didn't spend a whole lot of time there) for almost two full weeks, Disneyland for a couple days, Sea World for a day, visiting with family and friends, the musical Wicked, and lots of time alone. I... Read More
Its about time the two of us get some time together, the last time we got to see each other was way back in January, and things weren't going to well for us. I'm happy to say that this visit will be one of the last ones either of us will have to make before we... Read More
Im kinda mad that you didn't even phone tonight to tell me that you had decided not to leave until tomorrow....woulda taken you not but 5 minutes to do so
In a couple of weeks both whitewidow and I are taking a much needed vacation I've got a few fun things planned (Disneyland of course) and we are also going to be taking a look around to try and find our first house. As of right now we're going to be looking at what's in and around the Camp Pendleton areas. San Juan Capistrano, San... Read More
Where to begin, oh I know where, our most senior watch stander (don't ask me how this guy is senior to me I've got more time in the Navy then this ass hat) lost the keys to the building. IMMEDIATE SECURITY THREAT no room in the building is concidered secure from this point forward and the building... Read More
Be forwarned the following spoiler contains a large amount of ranting, venting and other forms of profanity. To make a long story short OP-HELD (my transfer has been delayed by 2 months)
Holy shit, this is way too fucked up. So they wait until you extend your tour, then jerk you around. And in a few more months, are they going to do the same?!? Assholes. I can so understand why my dad resigned from the navy. He was constantly put up against people like this that couldn't manage a plastic boat in a bathtub, but ewre still given command of a ship. My only regret for him is that he didn't stay long enought to make full commander. Not that it would have mettered any, and he certainly has no regrets, but still...
I know it's too early to say, but now what? I mean for you and your wifey? She sticking it out at her rents house a few months longer, or try to get down there for a few months to be with you before you go?
Man, this sucks. Remember, hold your tongue. Don't tell them you're going to the bell tower, just go!
This was supposed to have been updated last night. I got an earfull about neglecting my duties as a SG member with my journal (not really but I was asked when I was going to update again). I had ever intention of logging on to the computer last night to do so after getting off the phone with my lovely wife (oh yeah and as... Read More
So you extended your enlistment, what exactly does that mean? How long before your current enlistment is up? How's that any different from re-enlisting? Oh, right bonus. I just hope they don't find some bullshit way to swipe any bonuses out from under you. Its happened to many a sailor/soldier/airman/marine... Sorry about the pessimism, you know what you're doing. Just keep giving 'em hell.
Wow what a long day The fact that I am going to be moving on has finally started to register in peoples minds at work and now its turned into a bit of a helter-skelter down and dirty on a lot of the duties that I'm responsable for. Not like I've been saying this since January to people. The good thing is that I'm... Read More
I guess you can say that I've been really bad about updating and making comments for a while I'm sorry but usually when I get home I really don't feel like sitting in front of a computer when I've been working on one for a good part of the day. I really want to do two things by the time I get home.
Bastards. I really don't like incompitent people, but I really hate people that lie. Grrr, I just hate them. Hope they back off of you, but at least it's only two more months of this shit you have to put up with.
Spoke to Whitewidow the other night and was so so so glad to hear how much better she sounds. Gods I've been worried about her so much. But, like you said, she's strong. I knew that, but there's just something about her that brings out that big brother instinct in me for her. I guess it's because she has such a wonderful outlook on life that I hate to see things happen to her.
And how are you doing? Okay, other than the poo being flung in your general directions, and having to be so far away from her.
Well things have been going as best can be expected, I've been pretty busy with work and I've been putting a lot of time in at the gym and doing a lot of cardio trying to get myself ready for FMSS (Field Med Service School). I've got to get myself ready to keep up with the 19 year olds. Not such an easy task for... Read More
First the good news, I've gotten my orders sorted out and I'm going to be staying in southern California. Thats right sunny days, sandy beaches, the ocean, Disneyland, Sea World, The Wild Animal Park etc....
I put in a call to one of the detailers (the guys who post orders) only to find out that the reason that I had been unable to contact my... Read More
Great, so when can we expect to actually "see" you? I pray you wont get deployed... It's grim work, but I guess somebody's got to do it. I just wish it weren't you. Good luck with that.
Or maybe it was the fact that I did a couple loads of laundry.
