wow.
SO. today. yep. so much has happened today.
first its the 10th anniversery of the Oklahoma City bombing thing.
damn. ten years already...."celebrating" the death of some 168 people that died because some bastard who obviously hated the country of America in which he lived in executed an explosion which blew up and crippled one side of the government building. personally, im glad he got fried. its fuckheads like him that dont appreciate the amount of freedoms and liberties we as U.S.A. citizens recieve. its fuckheads like him that screw up society. its fuckheads like him that get to feel their own wrath.
on a brighter side, a new pope was elected today. Pope Benedict XVI. From good old Germany. hes 78....may god give him a long life....and may he scrub away ALL the perverted-little-boy-fondling preists. thats the last thing we need to hear after the reports on the status of the war:
"10 Iraquis die today. 1 American soldier is wounded."
"And in other news 17 preists are accussed of fingering 4-year-old boys. More in depth to come..."
what the hell. what the hell are we doing to ourselves.
its a cruel world boys and girls.
suck it up or change it.

today i actually did some hands-on, physical Navy work.
we had an UNREP (Underway Replenishment) and i was one of the line handlers.
thats where i heave (pull-in) and slack (let loose) the lines (rope) for the fuel hose.
it was prety cool, seeing a supply ship so close to our ship. while both of use are moving across the ocean. the waters between the ships gets VERY rough.
its an assome thing to witness.
the fuel hose swingging back and forth between the ships, the waves, the water spalshing across the deck. my freezing hands and wet coveralls...
yes; it was rainy and cold and windy as hell.
kickin' fun time.
so that was my first hardcore operation ive seen while aboard this ship.
and i enjoyed it.

yep. back on shore again.
and back out to sea on Tuesday. more operation stuff for qualifications.
the good part is that tomarrow our captain gave us the day off.
kick.
the only reason he did was because on Wednesday someone tryed to commit suicide in the engine compartment. he couldn't take it. being out to sea so many times just broke him down.
so el capiton felt we all should get an extra day off to relax and calm down before going out again.
good choice. i was starting to grow tense my self...

all right.
im back. for now. got back this morning. and im here for today and until tomarrow afternoon when we head beck out again. for more operation stuff.
but my first week out at sea was pretty damn wicked. i got sick the first day, only because we hit a strom, and the waters were rough as hell. and being the smaller ship she is; well, damn that thing rocks! it really stirs your stomach. but yeah after some sleep i was fine from then on out.
so engineering did their testing and stuff, and we (the operations department) practiced our radar and plotting stuff, and all was good. i had fun. the hours of work though kind of sucked; 1200 - 1700, then 0000 - 0700 (or 12pm-5pm, and 12am-7am). but just like the rocking i got used to it. the crew i work with is pretty cool. they bullshit most of the time, so work flys by.
so we go out again tomarrow and are back again Friday. then sometime next week we go down to Florida. good times there are awaiting my arrival.
all in all my first of many deployments was a success.
