T - 28 Days

Well let's see here... Graduated on Tuesday, forgot to salute the CO. Meet my mentor, an STG1 Wickie who's daughter lives in Valley Park (Yes that Valley Park). When he mentioned me to her she opened a Rosemount High School Year Book and found a picture of me. Problem, she's still in high school. Two possible conclusions can be drawn; she some how has a year book from 95-98 (no word yet on the likely hood of this), or there's another person with my same name currently going to RHS. I sincerely hope for the first. On another note, how creepy is it that the mentor they assign me (from Michigan, never held residence in Minnesota) would have family in my hometown, shit I've only meet three other people from MN since I joined the navy. Combine this with the fact that the owner operator of my favorite bar here in San Diego has a brother in Apple Valley, and I'm beginning to believe that the fates have a specific lack of imagination.

On a separate topic I would like to say that I despise Victoria Keller. She's the panicky drunk that has been tied to my navy experience since the day I step off the bus from boot camp. I have spent far to much time forced into her company, and I fear the very notion of our being stationed together ever again. Quick update for those of you confused; Keller was my girl's roommate back at NTC Great Lakes, she finished ATT the day before me and was put on hold at ATT with me for about two weeks while we waited for orders, we were whipped out to San Diego together, we spent almost a month on hold on 32nd Street base together(by this point we'd picked up 7 other companions thank god), the navy finally got it's shit together and moved us over to Fleet ASW Point Loma, went through "A" School together, and now her and I are slated to attend auxiliaries, maintenance, and operations schools together. I wonder what Leavenworth will be like.

I'm really looking forward to coming home in about a month. I really miss y'all and can't wait to see ya again.

P.S. I finished the Dark Towers
