time for the ship work up

well it's that time to leave again after only being home for about 4 weeks time to go again for a work up on the USS John C Stennis it is a big aircraft carrier alot of things can go wrong on the flight deck makes me a little nervous but i will just have to keep my head on a swivel and watch out for all the many things that can go wrong we'll be gone about 6 weeks the last workup we have to do before cruise heard it's gonna be a long one around 7 months and possible be home for 3 or so weeks and go back out for a 4 month surge so that means i'll be gone for about 11 months in the year 2009 this is getting to be quite a commitment i'm glad my wife loves me it'll make things a lot easier and so much sweeter to come home when i can lay a big kiss on her and say i've missed you so i'm glad to be home back with you again finally and i won't have to leave you again can't wait for that day only yr and 2 months after the surge i'll have less then a month of service left can't wait counting the days

time for work up's

well just getting to the squadron still trying to get aquainted with the new Aircraft totally different then i've ever worked on before still it is challenging and fun to learn something new and now i get to go to another new place fallon navada i am hoping it will be a good time i know i will miss my wonderful wife very much and will have to take advantage of the cell phone and call her all the time to tell her how much i love and adore her and miss her very much it will be about 31 days apart that a long time for me to be away it'll be hard but i thank god for my strong wife who will be there to support me i love her so till next time

well it's time for sea duty

well we had a good time at my brothers marks wedding and now it's time to move from san diego to ventura ca to change duty stations from hsl 49 to vaw 112 i'm hoping things will be fun little time to find a house get settled and start work all big tasks i'm greatful for a good wife who is willing to get up and come with me and leave friends behind yet again. i am excited for the future i hope we can make good friends here like we did in san diego should be a easy tour only have a yr and a half left of the navy hopefully it'll go smoothly and i can get out unharmed.

it's been a while

Well there are a lot of changes going on right now and its been a while since i have had time to sit down and write a new blog on here. Some of the changes right now is that I've made E-4 at my job in the military. My title now is "aviation machinist mate 3rd class petty officer of the united states navy" Or AD3 to shorten it up a bit. Some other changes are that we are moving from San Diego to north of LA to Ventura county. I have new orders to report to VAW-112 by July11 " the Golden Hawks" so will no longer be a scorpion at HSL-49 as of June 16 . With having to move a long distance there is always the trouble of finding time to go there and look for a place. while getting all other business in order. Like getting all my transfer paperwork and physicals done when they are overbooked and you have a hard time getting a appointment to see them to get it done. Then my youngest brother is also getting married during this hectic time so i have to go home to see him tie the knot, as if things weren't busy enough. I'll try to do better on keeping this thing up see ya soon
