Well, it's 1:26 p.m. on the 15th and my taxes are now done. Yay me! I thought about putting them off until later but I bought a wireless hub and want to set it up this weekend. I figured I should get those done before setting it up.
There was a mass Public Affairs e-mail today mentioning that a couple of volunteers where needed for short notice overseas assignments. One is Mildenhall and is for a tech sergeant. The other one is for a staff sergeant. That would be the one I put in for except they want a five level. Speaking of CDCs, I didn't get them. The supervisor left early for some appointment and the airman and me went to take pictures of spring things. Wonder if I could work out getting the Yokota job if I bust through the whopping two books I have. Might be worth a shot.
I seen my CDCs today. But since the supervisor wasn't there I have to wait until tomorrow to get them. A bit of a surprise that I have them since I was told that they where on order a mere two weeks ago. Then again I have been here for six months so it evens out I guess. We'll see how long it takes me to do them. There are just two books. I guess I'll bust them out real quick and get them over with.
I seen that Nine Inch Nails are going to be in Atlanta in June. I'm thinkin that I might just go on my own. There are a couple of problems with that one since it is on a Wednesday and in Atlanta. I also can't take leave the day after because I will be the only I.G. Joe in the office. Oh well, they will be in Indy in July and I'll be there too.
I would like y'all to go a head and take a look at Scott's new page. He's more into photos than writing.
Last night I went to get some stuff. It was kinda warm out so I had the windows down on the car. The driver's side window was all of the way down and the passenger side was just down a little. Today I go to the car so that I can go get a lawn mower. I'll be darned if I didn't roll up the passenger side window. Not a big deal, right. You would be right, if it hadn't rained all morning. I had to get a towel and wipe down all of the parts that weren't fabric. It doesn't look like there was a whole lot of water inside. I guess I'll remember to keep them windows up. Maybe next weekend, when it's not raining, I'll get that new lawn mower out and cut some grass.
The latest edition of my paper, Eye in the Sky, is out now. Y'all can read it here.
Hope you guys like it. I don't have an actual story in it. I do have a photo feature and my Man on the Street thing though.
It took four months but it finally happened. Last night I took the dog out and heard some yelling (not flashback guy) coming from the street behind me. Not too long after that Pedro was going crazy trying to get something on the other side of the fence. Before I could get back to try and see what he was going for he started barking. There are a bunch of skinny trees right at the fence in the yard behind me so I couldn't see anything, but I was a bit nervous. I got him back inside and while in the shower he started barking again. Now I'm a bit more nervous so when I get out I unpack the 22. I also loaded the clip. The clip is not in the gun, just next to it. I put them on the side of the bed farthest from the door. Someone had their music up across the way for a couple of minutes and I looked out. While looking out I heard a few voices. Maybe that's what he was barking at while I was in the show. Either way, I slept on side of the bed away from the door so I could roll off and load the gun if I needed to. And I locked all of the doors, including my bedroom. I figure if I don't hear anyone kick in the exterior doors, then I'll hear them kick in the interior door into the actual house and the bedroom being locked will just give me a couple of extra seconds. I made it through the night with no problems so maybe I was just a bit paranoid. Oh well, I was prepared.Flashback guy update: He's back to yelling at nothing in his yard as of a couple hours ago.
Our trip to the tattoo parlor at Sheppard. Think we called the first guy Willie or something, he had a weird name. Yup, that's me thuggin there in the midle. And Lambert on the end there.
Who's that pimp eating a popsicle? Yes, those dog tags do go pretty far down.
The repiercing two weeks after basic training. And by repiercing I do mean using a sewing needle to open the hole back up so I could squeeze that through.
