It's Finally Time

I've been slacking, I know, but up until now there hasn't been much going on except for monthly DEP meetings, which have been rather uneventful.

But now all that's about to change. I ship out at 1000 for RTC Tuesday, after an overnight stay at Fort Lee. Not only am I leaving to start my life, but this will be the first time I've ever been on a plane. Too bad I can't have a beer on the flight and I'll have to pee in a cup for the millionth time upon arrival (I know they test for THC and all that but I don't want to take any chances).

I've been freaking out inside the past few days, but I think I finally got all that out of my system, and though I'm a bit anxious, I'm mostly excited about this. I can't help but grin all stupid when I'm asked about it. A co-worker yesterday commented that she hadn't seen me smile this much ever.

If I can find some time I may post again before I leave, but if not, thanks to all who have supported me. It means a lot. Really.

See y'all in a few months!

2012 Election

I took an oath when I enlisted to support, protect, and defend this country and its Constitution. Something which my president and commander-in-chief doesn't believe in.

I am so very disappointed in you, America.

As with most life decisions, everybody's got advice. Problem is it's always unsolicited and negative.

Well! Been a while yeah? I do apologize. Not much has been going on, but I shall make up for that with this post!

First things first. I have some awesome news for you guys! I was made Port Watch Section Leader of my DEP pool! :D What this means is that I am part of the DEP chain of command, and serve as a liaison between my 6 Future Sailors and the recruiters/superior DEP leaders. I've been basking in this glory all day.


OK, now that I've done my bit of bragging, onward to my Navy arts and crafts project.

So remember that sketch I posted? Well, now I had to get that onto that big piece of paper. Here are my tools for the job.

And so the mission begins...

COLORING! Seriously, who doesn't enjoy this?

Now, I could have just used markers and shit, but no. Being the dedicated Future Sailor that I am, I opted for...GLITTER GLUE. Fuck yeah.

And so 3 hours, a beer, and a Full Throttle later, we have ourselves a beautifully crafted masterpiece.
