Oh how I do love me some Tacos :)
So after yesterday where things seemed to be falling apart at the seams today's doing much better. I ended up with a few hours of sleep (2) and went to the Orthopedist and he said things look normal from what he could see, and he had no reservations in clearing me for duty. So yes... this time I'm actually leaving Michigan for San Diego. Which is quasi-good news, ever get a bunch of things that happen that make you want to stick around just as you're on your way out the door? Anyways, I was sitting at the recruiters waiting for him, but he was up finishing some things up in Claire and I didn't know that til after I used the Air Forces' phone. But SSgt. Scott and I had a good conversation just about general matters, every time he sees me he harrasses me for not being gone yet, which I was starting to razz myself but oh well shit happens, and I'm leaving in 10 days (see below). But I come home pull my lap top and sit in my hammock and almost immediately I'm online (ahh hooray for neighbors who don't secure their wireless networks), some days it works wonders other days its a battle, today it was a breeze. Anyways I check my email, I had put in for Joe and the Poorboy's "Stripper Trivia" (and anyone who's known me in the last 6 months knows about me and strippers, :-D) because they take guys and bring them in and do trivia and get some of the girls in there to keep score. Well about a week ago I sent them an email seeing if by a longshot I could get on before I was supposed to leave. I was starting to get discuraged, but just brushed it off as there being alot of guys looking to get on (I have buddies who have been trying for months to get on, and have yet to even get an email back). Well I see an email asking if I could come in tomorrow, which I can :) so I'm awaiting their call to get additional information from them, I can't wait... I'm super stoked about this. It probably helps that I'm going into the Marines and they've got a drive on right now. Which reminds me- all of you out there, If you're able I want you to give to this drive. Why? Because the guys over there could use a pick up. Plus if you go to the Rally's they're at you'll get a free large fry... for the materalistic bastards out there. Also its possible that 9 months from now I could be over there, in the shit. Anyone who wants to send some goods over for tomorrow morning stop by my house (address is listed below) and drop off some goods for Operation Gratitude since I'll be heading over there anyways I can drop it off for you, alternatively you can drop it off at the Station or any Rally's (while they broadcast from the Rallys will you score free fries). Anyways I just got a call I have to go pick up a copy of all the paperwork ever done on my knee. So all the doctors' notes, all the physical therapy notes, everything. Blah... Although my order after that was to kick back with a cold one... honest to god. Anyways, I'm off to do that but leave some messages, and drop off some goods for the troops and listen for me on Stripper Trivia @ about 0520 or so. (5:20 AM for those who can't get the 24 hr clock) Take care and enjoy yourselves in this wonderful weather.
