So Friday moring at 0230, I jumped from a plane. It was a great jump, and I walked away with no injuries and another wonderful step towards my jumpmaster school diploma. I was off work all day, and was waiting for Lauren to get off work so I could see her. Yes I know this is my first mention of Lauren, but she rocks my world... Anyways I got a ( Read more... )

Here is a little tidbit meant for all those who say that war is evil, and that we hav no reason to be fighting. I joined the military in hopes that I might help to make this nation, and the world a safer place for everyone. This even means that I serve to uphold the rights of all those who may spit in my face for the very fact that I do serve... ( Read more... )

Time and time again, I tell myself I don't belong here. The military today is not the service of heroes it was in World War 2, but the political monster of the modern world. Everything is political, and it's honestly quite sad. I just wish that I could've been there fighting with men like my grandfather, rather than the punks of the modern day. I ( Read more... )

Well, it's just time gone by... My buddy Spanky got outta the Army, and I got his room. He was one of the few guys I enjoyed hangin out with, so now it all sucks a lot more around here. Anyways it's pretty boring, but I am alive. Supposed to go to the 82nd Airborne annual convention next month in Milwaulke. That will be fun, but I'd much rather go ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I updated this thing. I don't really have a lot of free time. Rumors of deployments continue, and I am still hating my job of armorer. The girls up here suck for the most part. I miss all my friends back home. Blah blah blah... Yadda yadda yadda. I still hurt when I think about "her". I am a dying cockroach. Sometimes I ( Read more... )

Well here I am again with the same old arguments. I have no real friends i can go hang out with, and what sanctuary i have only rolls around on Sunday mornings. If work wasn't suck a bit*h, I'd go to wednesday services, but that's not going to happen. I haven't found "someone" and I am sinking deeper every time I try to make a connection. I guess I ( Read more... )

Well, this long weekend of Easter should prove eventful. Paint a plenty will be flying through the air at the hapless children around me, and I will stand firm and pelt the enemy with paint from my trusty gat ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday was a full day at the field. We had a church gropu from some local Baptist church come out to play. It was something like 103 people. Now, setting up equipment, air tanks, paint, referees, concessions, etc for that many people is an undertaking. It was a long day to say the least. Referees had their hands full. I had more than my ( Read more... )

I haven't postd in a while, but that is mainly because I have been so damned busy. We're on mission cycle now, which sucks. I can't really go anywhere or do much because of the 2 hour recall. We are all anxious to get through this. I thought I was ready to deploy, but now I am not so sure. I am alone and I hate it. I guess I am looking for love in ( Read more... )
