So it's just after 5 a.m. I've been here at work for over 10 hours. Since there's a few Marines that want to fuck up, we all have to pay by going 12 on 12 off. My shift is from 1900-0700. This is the second day that I've had it and I'm still trying to adjust. The last couple of days have just sort of ran together because there's no night time to separate them. It's really weird if I do say so myself.
Other than that one annoying thing, everything is going well for the most part. I find that I love Mandi more each and every day, even though I may not always show it. I still love the Marine Corps. I'm so happy that I got in. I just picked up Lance Corporal. No more being a PFC for me, which is really nice. Just one more rank to go, then I can start actually having an impact on how shit is run in this place. I'm still low on the totem pole, just less low. Either way, it still feels good to pick up more rank.
Blah, if I was more awake, I'm sure that I would have much more interesting things to say. I really freaking miss everyone from back at home. I know that I'm horrible with staying in touch, and that's my fault. I do want everyone to know (that still actually reads this) that I think about you a lot and will do better to keep in touch. I just hope that no one has forgotten me yet.
To the Obenours, congratulations. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there. Shit's retarted down here on the home front. I'm really happy for you both.
Anyway, that is all for now. I must go. I bid you farewell.
