it feels weird being home. sleeping in. not going to the training classes which were all bullshit and boring as hell. no curfues or mustering. it feels real good.
i'm glad to be home.

my sister. doesn't she look great?  i can't wait to see my family on monday. i'm leaving great lakes at 1300 to go to ohare aiport, then to san dog at 1645.  2 1/2 days to go. i'm really excited.
the last blog was about this whole stress factor that i've been having for the past 3 weeks. trying to get a recommendation for a job change is a bitch. after bm1 roy said he wasn't going to give me the recommendation he turns around 4 days later and says that he was. but did he come through? noooooo. i'm graduating as a seaman undesignated. and QM 2 suggested that when i become a e-3 take the prequales and tests for qm (quartermaster). such a bitch, but he said that if i strike and take the quale exams/ assignments then i won't have to go to a-school. he didn't have to. so i'll be trying that. who knows. maybe it'll happen.
but i'm anxious to leave here on monday. then on may 14th i go to my ship.
cheers for now.

things are screwy here. p.o. roy said he'd give me a recommendation for the quartermaster school, so i've been sitting in the class for 2 days. then on monday he denied me the recommendation cause i some how pissed him off cause of 2 small bullshit things. so now i'm screwed once again. don't know what the fuck i'm gonna do.
my seaman ard class doesn't start until the 16th which means i won't be outta here till the 29th. so that sucks even more. so till the training (cause atd isn't a "class") starts i'll be "cleaning" at other beq's or buildings. sucks sucks sucks sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

i love you i hate i can't live without you.

that song has been rolling in my mind since last night when i was watching the pledge on tv at my beq (barrack). freakin eh. can't there be another better song to get stuck in my brain.?
once again i'm at the library playing with the computer. in a bit i have to go and change to my PT gear cause my indoc class is gonna PT. joooooyyy. not. dang ppl. but alls good here. i've returned to the world of the living. about damn time too. fucking god mother fuck sakes (added that for all those who think that us sailors cuss like sailors. it's true. of course. LOL)

the sad and depressing part is that my 16 year old dog died on the night of my graduation. it'll be quite hard going home cause my mom said that my dog left little holes in my carpet cause she'd dig and lick the carpet looking for my scent. mum didn't even wash a few of my dirty clothes so that my dog can always have a scent to remember me. very sad. very. i still occassionally cry about that. but i'm glad that my folks were here when i found out.
we've (the entire family) has decided to have Puppy cremated and then barry the ashes in the backyard.
may my dog rest in peace.

I MADE IT. I'M OUT. FUCKIN FREEDOM!!!!!!!

i was really busy during my last few weeks. and i actually enjoyed my stay at boot camp. just the females are worse than the rdc's is all. bm2 white told me that if i have any problems with the boatswain's mates out in the fleet to give him a call cause more than likely he'll know the bm's on my ship. so boot camp was more fun than it was bad. and i did get my bunks made quickly, it's just the bunks had metal boards around all the sides - so making the bed without getting little nicks and scratches on your nuckles wasn't an option. we were VERY SPOILED because we stayed at the brand new bunks. and comparing it, i've realized that my a-school beq's (bachelor enlisted quarters) is the getto. but at least it isn't the extrime getto.

i'm at the a-school's library right now. the school is at the naval training center (ntc) base right across the street from the recruite training base (rtc). so far a few girls have said that this is like college. but i'm not trying to judge it yet, as i'm still trying to figure out the day's schedules and stuff. i'll be stuck here wearing my uniform, drolling at the people that can wear their civilian clothes untill i leave on april 21st which is when i can go to my duty station. miss boxer here i come!
sailor michelle signing out.

Well kids she has done it! Michelle is about to graduate...she graduates tomorrow the 21st...she will be home soon, well on the 25th from this last letter...and she tried to call me but didn't leave a message...i missed her...she sent me a cutesy card, and said she misses me and everyone else, she got to eat pizza hut the other day and didn't realize how much she missed real pizza as she calls it, and the almighty "SUBWAY", were you cant "eat fresh!" She got her official Navy cover so now she doesn't have to wear the Recruit cover anymore, so that was a big step for them all...she also said that she was gonna be stationed in San Diego! She will still be close for me...yeah!!!!!!!!!!!well kiddies i am off like panties on prom night, I wish you all well and sorry the updates didn't come sooner, but I can only relay what I know...talk to you all later...bye!!!!!!!!!!

Well some have you have written to her...she appreciated it and was very shocked....She is now the oldest girl there, I guess they have all fallen to the way side....I can't seem to get the new pics posted for all who are interested...sorry!.....She has been having her difficulties, but is managing and is improving, for all those who have been in the military before like me, you know she is learning the game....other that that not much else can be said other than still send words of encouragement, they also upgraded there defense status as order by our president, gotta get that oil, america's oil is at stake, and a few american lives here and there are worth our president's oil and his ability as well as his friends ability to make money at our expense...sorry I will get off my soap box now....other than that kiddies i don't know what really to tell you...she hasn't written to me in 2 weeks so i don't know what to tell....bye for now and i will work on those pics....happy trails! 

she is alive people, it lives!!!!!!!!Well she seems to be doing "o.k."...she is a little home sick..she hasn't received any letters yet, but mine should have crossed in the mail or been received the same day after she sent this letter to me...she says all the girls there are youngins, but she is not the oldest...there is some lady who is thirty(30)!  Apparently the 30 yr old is just as annoying as the younger girls...woman are slobs, yada yada, they are punished every so often because chicks are leaving there sanitary bags laying around...the girls still can't get the concept of a chief petty officer... she sucks at making her rack fast enough...I tried to teach and tell her but that girl just wasn't having it at that time...now she regrets...heheheehehehe! Her rack-mate is grateful to me because michelle is screwing up royally and getting them in trouble...She hurt her back and got a cold and didn't tell anyone...so she finally went to sick-bay and she is on DRUGS!!!!!and she is pissing and moaning about the shots she got in the ass...and by her writing I can tell she was in a real hurry and very stressed, because her spelling was worse than ever....so if any of you would like to send some words of encouragement, you can write her @:
