I dunno, guess I'll put something here since I have nothing better to do atm.
Well, this year started off with Bewt Camp, boat loads of joy were had. That bucket of fun chewed up 3 months.
Enjoyed a 17 day vacation after that then flew right back over to CA for Marine Combat Training; fun on the mountains (lol, hills) and blowing up/shooting things and learning how to go all S.W.A.T. on a town made of cargo containers. Also, whistling dynamite; don't be the jerk to whistle at random and make everyone face plant in the dirt. 1 month spent there learning how to wreck stuff only to fly over to...
Logistics school! Woooo! *one tiny balloon in the background* Actually I got to blow a month and a half as camp guard. I learned how to sleep, end of story. Spent another month in forming where we performed tedious odd jobs. My class finally picked up and I spent less than a month learning how to be an Embarker (don't ask). Graduated third in my class (I'll win next time Sergeants).
Come time to go to our permanent duty stations everyone else hops on a bus or plane and leaves. I hop in a car and get dropped off at my duty station 10 minutes on the other side of base. Spend a night in receiving and copy some movies and shows off another guy in the squad bay. Get picked up the next day and start checking in. Still here just learning my job as I go and working.
Many shenanigans were had at each point leading up to now, but there's way too many to type up here or for me to remember. Tune in next time for the next episode: deployment to Afghanistan.
