Well I was gone for 08 weeks for boot camp in Cape May. Basic was rough, the first 04 weeks were horrible but after that the company and myself were all like, ok we've been through hell we can handle the rest of this training. Now I'm home doing Hometown Recruiting until the 5th of Feb. then I'm going to Cape Disappointment and no I am not making that up. It is south of Ilwaco, WA and north of Astoria, OR where the Columbia river comes out into the Pacific Ocean. It's a heavy surf station so I'm gonna be dealing with a lot of big waves. Most of the people in my company are already either at their units or on their way and I don't have to be at mine until next Sunday. I'm both nervous and excited about where I'm going and I'll have someone from another company coming there a couple weeks after I get there. I've got just about everything set up now, my flight, getting my stuff moved, now I just have to figure out which of my civilian clothes I want to take with me on my flight there and I need to get more suitcases to carry them all in. I just wish I could take my cat with me but I won't be able to bring her up there until after I get out of the barracks and that's not gonna be for another 06 months while I get qualified in all the stuff I need to be qualified in.
