Getting ready for Shipmate

Well I am just sitting on the ship waiting for shipmate. (Shipmate is a type of Shore Patrol except worn in Civilian clothes and just to assist not to arrest.) Blowing my nose because I got some type of cold.

Things are going well except I never seem have enough time to call anyone back home. I should take sometime from work during the week to contact my family but I feel so drawn to get my job done.

I was driving Command Master Chief's beast today, a van that he bought from an officer that transferred. He let me use it to pick up his referigerator for his office, which I have a key for and access all the time. Another the refer is like for him and I. I just can't wait to be able to cold bottled water anytime I want.

I am still waiting for the CPO results to post. This is like the longest month.

Fun on duty

Well I know now why I don't drink anymore. I blame it all on my protege' who's husband is stationed with me. We went out last night with a fellow NC and she wanted to have some margaritas. Well I am glad today is such a dead day since I am feeling dead.

Things are going really well just waiting for the Chief's results.

Not much else going on but I will give more information soon.

Japanese Arcades

Japan has these games which require playing cards so you get the playing cards as you play so you can play your players. They have Soccer and Baseball games among the other card games that you see. Football is pretty fun becuase it has information about the players on them.

Not much else going on except it is raining.

A little better

OK so we supposedly went underway. I don't call getting underway for two days to go to Sasebo to spend four days there to just turn around and head straight back up an underway. It really make put thing in perspective again. Going to sea for me is one of the most soothing things for me. A sailor belongs a ship and a ship belongs at sea.

Well I am counting down since I only have 11 months left till I leave Japan and go back to my family. Hopefully to my new little car if it is done by then. Yes a 6'1" man in little Smart Car, or as I like to call it a clown car.

I am also in constant antipisipation of the Chief's results since I know several people reviewing my package this year. So wish me luck.

Dying over here

It is really hard sometimes being alone and in foreign place. It is even harder when you don't have time to unwind and enjoy things. Leave was too short and I missed my wife the day I started leave because I knew I was leaving again.

Almost home

It has been a long time underway and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just have channel fever right now.

Hope everyone is watching Carrier.

Long time

Well it has been a long time since I have posted on here. Well if you are underway and as busy as I am you wouldn't have much time to write anything. Plus if you really know me you know I hate to write.

Well that was enough for me.
