Ahhh a nice long weekend

Nov 12, 2005 02:58

Well we have a 3 day weekend because Veterans Day and thats pretty nice. I have duty this weekend on Sunday but hey what can ya do, it's not too bad. Like one more month before I get to come home on leave. I can't stop thinking about it. I have this stupid uniform and sea bag inspection on Monday. Not to mention I also have to put out my 782 gear (field gear) too. I have this weekend to get it all done, usually your given like a month to get everything ready. Didn't really do too much today, slept in and went to the gym and ate some food basically sums up my entire day. I've been reading the new R.A. Salvatore book I've waited a long time for his next book to come out and so far I'm really enjoying it, Hes definatly still my favorite author.
I'm debating if I should update my myspace page or not. I basically just use it to keep in tough with people back home. I don't really go on it anymore and frankly I don't really want to set up a photo session in my room to update my pictures. It's already like 0230 here, I really don't know where the day went. It's too bad were getting a new phone and I haven't had a phone for awhile or I would be calling everyone back home right now.
I really want to go Iraq my friend Carter is there and he's probably one of the best friends I have ever made in the military so far and I feel guilty that I can't be there with him. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve to wear this uniform until I have actually fought for my country. People always say, "Oh what sacrafices our service members are doing for us." Well I don't really feel like I'm making that big of a sacrafice, I don't feel like I deserve anyones admiration for being here.
I feel like I'm still living in CT, I need to realize that my life isn't back there anymore. I live from leave time to leave time and I can't do that. I'm definatly going to keep in contact with my friends back home though. I shouldn't let any amount of miles ruin the great friends I've made in my life. (The best friends anyone could ask for by the way) Another problem is, I don't want to get into a relationship out here and I can't get into one when I get home on leave either because I'm only going to be home for a few weeks. I'm going to have to wait to my next duty station I think to try to think about something like that. I've been talking to some of my friends back home and it seems like there all single right now too so It looks like its going to be boys night out when we I get back. Man I can't wait to hang out with all of you guys again. You have no idea how much I miss just sitting in a parking alot, talking, and hanging out.
I'm trying to think of something that I can bring back from Japan for my friends for Christmas. I can't really think of anything good though. I mean I know I can knock out half of them with some Japanese video game things or something, but what would the fun be in that, haha?
I can't really think of anything else to put in here tonight so I think I'm just going to head to sleep. I got plently of stories to tell when I get home though. Keep on keeping on guys.
