Great Lakes

Well like I had said in my previous entry I am in the Navy. Currently I am at ATT or apprentice technical training. So far my days consist of sitting at a computer and taking notes. Its not that bad really, I stress out so much about it that I stay awake and can't fall asleep haha. The course is designed to give a variety of ratings a backround in circuit boards and how to troubleshoot them how to use multimeters and things like that. Its actually very interesting my only worry is all the math, Im afraid im going to have a math over load lol. ATT takes care of STG's, ET's, FC's, IC's, EM's, GM's, GSE's, and Minemen. I am a hopeful STG.

Great lakes really isn't that bad of a base as some people make it out to be, as long as you keep your mind where it should be and do what you are suppose to you will be fine. If you follow orders, dont drink when you shouldnt and be where you should be, you will be completely fine here. The base is big, but its not that big, from my barracks its about a 15 minute walk to the maingate. Transportation is readily available, and if you make the right friends you can get rides from people all over the town anyway. The town out side the base is kind of a dump, its North Chicago so a lot of it you don't want to travel to anyway. But they do have a massive mall and a train station to take you to chicago for some entertainment! (speaking of entertainment im going to a UFC fight tonight I think wooot).

After ATT, I get to head to San diego for A school, talk about a change from this nasty weather cold town to Sunny san diego for the rest of my training :). After all of my training which should take me until next year some time I imagine, I hope to be able to get orders to an East Coast based ship, either Norfolk, Va or Mayport Fl. Id settle for a Mine ship in texas or a ship in Hawaii. I really dont want to go to the west coast, theres just nothing over there for me, East coast is where the action is now, pirate hunting etc. If I am to be stationed overseas I'd KILL for Greece or Italy.

Well tonight is a UFC match so I think im going to run off for a bit.
