It's been awhile...

Journal Entry: Sun Sep 16, 2007, 5:26 AM
I can't believe it's been so long since I've logged in to dA and updated this journal. It's kinda weird to see that I wrote a journal entry the night before I left for boot camp, and that it's now September and I've done so much.

I graduated Marine Corps Boot Camp in San Diego, CA on May 18th. I then went on leave for 10 days, which I spend in Maui, Hawaii. After that I flew back to San Diego. Back to the depot (BMP), where I spend another 2 months recovering from a stress fracture in my pelvis that I got while in boot camp. On July 24th I went to Marine Combat Training (MCT) at Camp Pendleton, CA for another month. On August 15th I arrived in Pensacola, FL for my Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) school.

So here I am now in Florida. I will graduate around December 5th of this year. After which I'll go home to Wisconsin for about 20 days of leave. My duty station for the next two years(?) will hopefully be Hawaii, or my second choice is England.

I want Hawaii because I love it there (the island of Oahu) when I went there on vacation. But I'd go to England instead because I'd hopefully be able to travel to places like Florence, Italy on leave. I'm doing well in my class so it should allow me a top choice in duty stations come November.

I could write a ton about Boot Camp, BMP. MCT, and my current situation but I won't right now.

Oorah and Semper Fidelis.

Pittsburgh! I love Pittsburgh! I haev a best friend who lives there. I love when I get to go visit her. I actually got accepted to a college there, but I never had the courage to go.

Harrisburgh. You know, that's the capitol of Pennsylvania, and I'm not sure that I have ever been there.

And I've never been to Hershey Park either. But hey, if it weren't for Hershey, Pennsylvania there wouldn't be any Hershey's chocolate.

:giggle:

No, I'm not in WI for college. I'm here becuase my mom's best friend used to live in PA. She moved here to be with family and mom came to visit. She liked the area, and BOOM, here we are.

Thanks Mom.

Ugh.

Pine River... hm. I'm sure you've heard of Wautoma? I'm 16 miles outside of Wautoma.

What part of Pennsylvania were you in? It's funny. When I lived there I couldn't wait to leave. Now I miss it so much it's pathetic.

This place makes me insane.

I heard about all the snow you guys got. Four to five inches, right?

I live in Pine River. If you know where it is I'll give you a gold star.

I just moved here from Pennsylvania, so I'm not too good as of where all the towns/cities are.

Ugh.
