still trucking along… crankily.

Before volunteering for this IA billet I was told so many wonderful things about it. “It’s an experience you’ll never forget!” “It will be the highlight of your Navy career!” “You’ll make so much money!”

They don’t tell you about the spider-infested barracks or the small pox and anthrax vaccines that hurt like hell. They don’t tell you that during your training you can’t leave base or wear any civilian clothes.

It’s pretty much like being in boot camp all over again, except we have our computers and cell phones.

I was also told that we would get about a week off before shipping off to Iraq. Well, we definitely don’t get that either! We can’t even have visitors here. It sucks that you’re stationed overseas and then you come home and are so close to the people you love and yet you still can’t see them.

What would it hurt? All they are doing is hurting morale and pissing a lot of people off. I tell you what… I would never do this again. They don’t care anything about us. They’re just here to do their job, which is to train us and anything that would go above and beyond that is completely out of the question.

3 ½ more years until I’m free again…

♥As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
♥There's a big fucking world out there. It's messy, and it's chaotic, and it's never, it's never ever the thing you'd expect. It's ok to be scared but you cannot allow your fears to turn you into an asshole, not when it comes to the people that really love you, the people that need you.
♥Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterwards we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be. - from Memoirs of a Geisha
♥Nothing of value comes without a little struggle. Some of the most beautiful flowers only grow after a forest fire. Literally out of the ashes, they blanket the ground with color. - from Joan of Arcadia
♥A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election. -Bill Vaughan
♥Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
