Sorry for disappearing I lost (and have yet to aquire) internet in my Barracks room. Its been a good past month or so. While I have been gone my love came up to Chicago to visit me for a weekend :) we spent Friday Saturday and Sunday together it was fantastic! One of the best weekends I have ever had! Since then I have recieved my orders to San Diego!!! To Start STG "A" school one step closer to being done with training and I can not wait! I should finish up ATT here at Great lakes soon which would be marvelous. By soon I mean tomorrow

So far my outlook on Chicago has not changed, except now on top of me disliking the city, the weather here is horrible and disgustingly humid, as I type this in the lounge of the barracks 6301 i am sweating and disgusting and im inside. I thought the humidity in St Louis was crap until I had to get to this place.

Unfortunatly, I can not get any leave between now and san diego but hopefully once I get to san diego and get through my indoc there I can come home for a little bit, as much as I hate Misery, I mean Missouri, I do miss it.


Lets see what else has been going on here, oh how could I forget! Flag Day! On Flag day, here in good old Great Lakes we recreated a flag that was originally done in 1917 here on Base it took 10000 sailors and 8 hours for them to do. So our command decided, what the hell why dont we do this too! and marched 7000 sailors down to Ross field and recreated the human flag, it was actually pretty cool after it was all said and done, just a pain in the ass to do!

Well thats all for now, on a final note Dont buy Ipods, I held out forever and finally broke down and bought an Ipod, literally within 24 hours of purchase (1320) I was at the NEX returning said Ipod at (1320) because it was already dead. I wanted a refund but all they could do was replace it so heres to hoping this one survives, but seriously I hope you burn in a fire Apple.
