the COMREL project went fairly nice. didnt rain at all either. me and a couple guys fixed the fencing around the tennis courts. easy but fun. the command picnic was afterwards, but i didnt feel like going, so me and the OS gang went to Chilis and saw the movie "Sentinal". it was pretty good. a lot of action.
so tomarrow we sail off for 14 days of fun and thrills. which translates to exhaution and tons of work. but when we get back the first leave period is in effect, then 10 days later
Operation: Homeward Freedom will be on full blast.
cant wait.

and now to pack.

COMREL today. helping out at the park again. actually its a different park this time. bigger. should be fun, although this morning it was chilly and cloudy; wouldnt doubt if it rains this afternoon. after the project theres a command picnic at the park, i also signed up for that.

free food, how could i resist?

yesterday rob and i took my laptop to CompUSA to see if they could fix it. they told me they couldnt, but would be able to ship it out to the Gateway company and have them fix it. i said lets do it! i gave them the laptop, filled out paper work, and was told it would take 1-2 weeks. sweet! and it is covered under the factory warrenty so all i have to pay is a small service charge and shipping/handeling fee!
now thats service. just in time for the deployment.

later rob and i saw "Silent Hill". it wasnt too bad. of course it helped that we both have played the game, so the movie was easier to understand. i liked it.

afterwards we went to lee's place and chilled. played some beer pong. later played a card game called Asshole. that was fun, i dont know any card games, except War, so i finally know another one! only 9,999 more games to know....

today me and a bunch of us OS's are planning to hit the beach. its been really nice out these past few days. gotta take advantage of it.

today is the deglam day so no work for me! pretty nice.

so yesterdays "family cruise" was....long.
about 200 family members came onboard and we had to make food for all of them.
not to mention keep them occuppied for the whole trip.

it was tiring, but but i got through it. came home and slept like a rock.

today me and brandon ae going to some "import tuner" show. im not really into those kind of cars, but i figured what else was i going to do. might be interesting.

got the weekend off. very nice.
monday is a deglam day. im going to see if i can get that day off as well.

exactly one month from today i will begin Operation: Homeward Freedom.

so far, so good.

one of our first classes re-enlisted today. at a cool restaurant called Smokey Bones. it was pretty cool. afterwards me and a bunch of OS's went bowling. i did pretty bad. oh well.
we had the PFA today too. ouch. not too bad on the sit-ups and push-ups, but i added 30 seconds onto my run. that sucks. i need to work out. in time.

sooo now its bed time. i hurt...

wow.
its been awhile. the reason: my laptop it completely screwed. hard drive is fucked. and brandon took his laptop back so i have no computer access in the room anymore. and im too lazy to drive two blocks to the internet resource center on base.
but not "too much" has really happened.
we completed the longest cruise before our deployment this past two weeks. that was long and tiring. we ran 142 exercises. exhausting yes.
and when we got back friday, rob and phil and 5 other peoples room were broken into and all their stuff stolen. rob and phil got hit the worst; everything they left there (laptops, TVs, movies, cds, game systems...) were gone. NCIS got involved and are launching an investigation. they dusted all the rooms, took evidence and pictures...freakin CSI stuff. its pretty crazy, not to mention no one is thrilled about what happened. the CO was notified and hes pretty pee-oed about it. we'll see what happens.
another fatal accident happened last weekend. one of our crew members was killed in a car crash. dont have any details. i knew him though, went out with him a few times during our surge last year. he was pretty cool, horrible his life had to end so short. theres going to be a memorial service for him sometime this week.
truck is still doing good. havent upgraded anything yet. broke as a mo fo. will do soon.
very soon.
lets see; still planning Operation: Homeward Freedom for May 22- June 1. hell yea. gunna be fun.

sooo otherwise its easter and im going to call the fam and send them my Happy Easter Greetings from Norfolk.
