So far its been uneventful in the navy. Today was a good day, besides the massive hangover from the night before...i hate military police! I participated in a cerimony honoring a fellow Corpsman in presenting him a Bronze Star for his heroism in the sand box during our efforts in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The HM3 lost his leg when a humvee blew up and pinned his leg in. He then proceded to coordenate the marines he was with to put the turiquet on his leg. After that he then went to help his XO in a life-saving procedure to help stop heavy bleeding from a major artery, while experincing horrible pain. As I stood at attention in my PSI formation, I heard him talk about how he could have just had the medal mailed to him back home and he didnt deserve all the credit; its just what Corpsman do. After I heard that i realized thats what im about to get ready for...to do what Corpsman do. It sends a chill down my bones when i think of the intense physical training and the academics we Corpsman have to study for during FMSS(Field Medical Service School). But we have to do this. We will be sent to learn under the best of the best Hospital Corpsman and Marine Seargents, Staff Seargents and Gunery Seargents the Navy can send us out here in Pendleton. And we'll have to be ready, because those marines rely on us to do the shit so they can shoot at shit. Then being deployed is going to be a whole nother chill all together. It'll be kool though. The worst they can do is kill you. Hopefully the hangover tomorrow wont be as bad as the one from today.

So, here i am in Corps School. Pretty kool so far. Have to study alot. But i guess that was ano-brainer there. Got to go out into Chicago a little while ago. It was Pretty sweet. Nice twon Chicago. Corps School is much better than basic, but not so much better than being a Civi. I get a break on Dec. 17 to Jan. 2(or how ever much leave i have developed.) so that will be awesome. I hope to see some of you guys while i come down on my break. Gotta do laundry and smoke a cigarette. Talk later.

So, I cant hang out tonight with anyone...so i guess its just as good to say my final goodbyes on-line? But i suck at giving goodbyes, so this post will probably be as short as possible. Well, you guys are pretty kool i guess; and its been a blast knowing you guys...some for just a year or two...others almost my whole life. Some people I doubt ill see again, then others i may give a call if i ever get back to the states. But yeah, I have a feeling this Navy stent will set me right; if they dont kick me out first. Well, its been real fun if not a real memoriable summer...so i hope to see some of you guys later on if not tonight.

So i finally bought Life Aquatic and watched for the first time yesterday; amazing...but the worst thing happened. At the end, while the black dude is singing; my sister goes "Well, the music is horrible." And just couldnt understand how a black guy sing David Bowie songs in Porteguese could be horrible. So, i called her a bitch and everything was kool. |

So yeah, Im sort of upset right now...over the whole HM thing; maybe i should explain this first.
Ok, The Marine Corps and The Navy are basically in the same department...its just that the Marines are the Navy's infantry. But even after they split; the Marines still use the Navy...like for transportation and such.
Such is my dilema, the Marines use Navy Corpsman in their platoons and squads or whatever the hell they call the groups. But they say you have a choice to serve in a Marine squad, so you sign this paper that says you want to do that. And of course, i didnt sign it.
But its the military, if there is a need for Corpsman; they could pull my ass in there...even though i didnt sign the paper. Im just praying that no Navy HMs get killed over in the Oilberg so i dont get pulled in.....
But anyway, whats going on dudes and ladies...its been a while; well...see you cats when i see you.

Well journal,
I did 39 push-ups and 54 sit-ups in 2 minutes(resting in between each one). I ran a mile and a half in 13 or 14 minutes. Not too bad i guess for being out of shape. But i realized that DEP meetings suck however. I guess there somewhat ok though...gives me a reason to stay in shape until the great departure. My biggest fear is that the Navy finds out about how i lied to get in. I think they ask again when you get to the Great Lakes about all your information. But i'll just lie again i guess, no big deal.
Im dating again. Amanda is pretty kool; but she's still is in highschool...a senior though, so its not that bad. Since there was no school on Monday, i went to watch her in a lacrosse scrimich(sp?) in the morning and hung out at the mall, which ordinarily i am opposed to. But here foreign exchange student wanted to go and shop in an Mall. I guess they have a shortage of malls in France. She wanted to get a country cd as a souviener for her parents, which i thought was hilarious. I told her all country sucked except Johnny Cash, but Amanda suggested something else. Oh well. Turns out the cd was only a penny, which was really funny. I got a couple of things as well:
-Two Beatles cds; Abby Road(my copy was scratched) and Revolver
-a new cd case
-a Johnny Cash shirt with some credit from hot topic, its pretty bitchn'
-two Elmore Leonard books; Get Shorty and Be Cool(after reading Mr. Paradise, im hooked)
She says i spend my money too foolishly, but i was thinking, you spend your money on a new Jeep and i spend my money on important things like groundbreaking music(which she wants me to burn for her), timeless literature, and a moveable portrait of the late great Johnny Cash. I call that pretty even.
A friend of mine from work and other dudes he knows are starting a record label. Though im not involved, im pretty excited and its propelled me to start writing music again. Im trying to write a ballad of the rebirth of Rock n' Roll. Solid.

Ok dudes,
So the last chick that i dated totally sucked major ass, i guess i could have seen it coming; but oh well...i guess that means im an idiot for wasting a whole month with her. but i met this new girl, and she's really kool; i mean, way kooler than the last one. So i have decided to do a top 5 list of bad things with the last chick and the good things with the new girl(for some reason this may seem byist{sp????} for the new girl, but this helps me with my tattered emotions in a way smoking cigs never can)...ok, here it is.
(BAD) Old Chick
5.Moved way to fast with her, which
which led to a disasterous relationship.
4.Works at the same place where a certain
family memeber goes to seek psychiatric
help, leads to paranoia on my part.
3.Crazy fundemental baptist. this was
shocking, because she seemed to be the
total opposite when i met her, which made
me feel as if i feel into some sort of trap
full of christian crazys.
2.She is really close to her family, and i
couldnt seem to get in "sync" with them.
1.Taste in music differed to much.....greatest
example; "Behind Blue Eyes", she thinks the
Limp Biscuit version is better than The Who's
original...WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!!
(GOOD) New Chick
5.Does the "Your Mama" jokes and they never get old
when i hear her tell them.
4.LOVES Jeep Wranglers and Alexander Hamilton...
I dont know why but she just does.
3.Our Humor is basically the same, which makes her
even more attractive than she already is.
2.She's Catholic and related to mobsters, which
means i could have a chance for the big
time(with being a hitman anyway, no chance for
"boss-hood").
1.Her taste in music is great(despite her love
for John Mayer). Her favorite song is
"The Joker" by Steve Miller, so that ROCKS!!!
So there it is, next time ill do a "who would i have in my cabinent if i were president"...but until next time....

Well, Hanukkah is officially over; and what did i learn? I learned that this next 8 months are going to be the worst 8 months of my life. I beat Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II; The Sith Lords yesterday night around 2 A.M. It was a good game, i think ill try it on being a dark jedi next time. This game is good though, cause you can turn other people to the light side or dark side; and you can train some of the characters in the ways of the force. Totally bitchn'.
I want to hang out with as money of the friends i currently have as possible before i get shipped off in August.
I might ask to make my ship date alot sooner though, cause these months are going to blow!
Why are they going to blow you say?
Because my transmission in my car destroyed itself a couple of days ago and my parents are starting to really get to my head. Being stuck is turning into an utter hell. Plus, i have to start working full time for know on, so that blows.
So yeah, im so seeing if i can leave for Chicago as soon as possible! |

So i went down to MEPS on Monday...the first day was not that bad. I met up with this old dude(pretty old to enlist anyway{34}) named Kevin and this redneck guy named Rufus. They were pretty kool. Kevin was joining the Navy with me and Rufus was joining the Marines. We just took that test monday and went back to the holiday inn. Rufus and I stayed up playing pool, eyeing this hot chick joining the Airforce, and talked about other shit. It was pretty ok then.
The next day sucked. Woke up at 4 in the morning to take a physical for this bitchy medical assholes for about 6 or 7 hours. Then they sat me down to talk about stuff and about my job.
My first choice was Master at Arms, for being a cop and all...but that was full to the max. SUCKS! so the petty officer asked if i was interested in medical, and i said, "yeah man." so he told me about Hospital Corpsman(HM). So HM sounded pretty choice. Then i swore in and hung out with the dudes for awhile. Its awesome though, cause HM sounds pretty awesome; its interesting for me and its what my grandfather got into when joined up...except he was in the Navy for 30 years on subs, so i dont know if ill stay in that long. But its going to be bitchn'. After all that stuff, i left Columbia with Kevin and my Recruiting Officer. So all in all it was a good day.
I think life might actually be going on the right track. |

I started back writing; and it feels really awesome. I dont know why i ever stopped. The story is really good i think, somewhat better than any of my other ones. Its very relaxing.
School is starting to get scary, im not doing as well as i told myself i would. In highschool i never had to study for anything, but now you have to study for EVERYTHING! I hate it so much. I might have to find a different route to something. I dont know, i think im already having a mid-life crisis.
This last girl that i dated works at the Psychiatrist(sp?) office i go to, and im starting to become more and more uncomfortable about that situation. Somehow(and i dont know how, but i have a good idea how) she found out about me no longer being on meds; and i found that somewhat disturbing. Now she's all worried about me and stuff, and I dont like that one bit. I mean, im doing fine without them, but she thinks i need them. I dont know....its just a pain in the ass i guess.
I feel that with this school situation going the way its going, John and I are going to become crazy banditos, crusin' for the big payoff. I know he's in for that, so it'll be awesome. Its either that, or ill just move down to Atlanta and do somemore 'searching' for that right nitch of mine.
One thing I've been thinking about is becoming a homicide detective. It would be awesome because id get to be one of the good guys doing the right thing...i know this clashes with the whole "bandito" thing, but oh well...i dont give a shit if it does. I hear the military could help me out with being a cop, and since the Marines is definitly out of the question; i think the Navy would do well. I mean, it'd be family tradition if i did it. Both my grandfathers and two of my uncles where in the Navy, i think it would be kool to keep up that tradition. Besides, the military might change me from being such an evil, conceded, selfish, jerkish, asshole...so koolsville. Besides, i wouldnt be to far from Michigan and my grandmother and my uncle dennis could make it to the graduation. It'd awesome to see them.
Well, ill end this here with a good farewell and goodbye
Happy Holidayss
