*sigh* well i haven't updated this thing in a while, so i suppose I should get on top of that eh? Well, doesn't look like i'll be going out on the deployment i was supposed to. Kinda sucks because i was really getting psyched for it. Turns out I was supposed to be replacing this guy that was on a medical "non deployable" hold...but the docs cleared him to leave, so he got his spot back, which means i'm screwed out of it. I missed out on volunteering for a couple other cool deployments too because i though i was going on this one. C'est la vie I suppose *shrugs*. This just means i'll be starting to do some workups for my upcoming gold tier deployment to iraq in september now. I think i got put on a weeklong RAS "Rear Area Security" course in the beginning of March, i'm not sure about that though. I'm also set to go back to the rifle range and i'm trying to get on the pistol qual range too so i can try to become a range coach :).
Alright, enough of the down news, onto the good shit. I'm oficially a professional dodgeball player! LoL yeah, a bunch of guys from my platoon entered a base-wide dodgeball tournament and placed 3rd (my 1st sports trophy ever!), and that ranks us high enough to be entered in a state-wide dodgeball tournament in april at the staples center in downtown LA, all expenses paid! :D I freaking stoked about it, should be a damn good time! Hrmmmm what else. Oooh, I finally got around to buying new glasses, considering the ones i had have been broken for like almost a year now. They're nice too...the flexy bendy kinda frames, which is really good for me, seeing as how i tend to break glasses guite frequently (I'm sure everyone remembers the time i didn't have arms on either side and taped my glasses to my nose). I look smart and sophisticated in them too ;) I'm also trying to come home around the end of march on some recruiter's assistance, but i don't know if i'm going to be able to get it approved seeing as apparently the shop is "understaffed", but yet we have too many people in the shop for just a day shift and they're thinking of switching up to a day and night shift. Whatever though, Master Sergeant is a douchebag.
Alright, i'm done talking...hope everyone has a nice day ;)
Oh and a belated happy valentines day to everyone...some people more specifically :D <333
