okay. so we FINALLY got underway on Friday. it went well. tested everything; seems to be working. we were supposed to stay out until today, but we got a message saying to come back to port sunday afternoon. bad storm was brewing. but we got today off! so thats cool.

looking to take leave in July. hopefully over the 4th of July weekend. if not,then definetly sometime while Steve is home. thats in the process.

our 1st class got picked up for an IA in Kuwait. 295 days. kindda sucks he's a good leader for the division. plus he has a family and everything he hardly gets to see anyway. but good luck to him!

nothing has been said about the Iraq IA...maybe ill get picked up. doubt it.

but who knows...
