IN Texas

So i am here in Texas, and it is soo peaceful. the weather is like 78 degrees. I am near the mountains so that is soo beautiful to see. I have not started my training yet.

So my travel here to texas did not start as peacefully as i would have hoped for. I arrived at the airport, only to find out that i had too many bags! my orderes stated that i was allowed excess baggage, but they did not verify that with the reservations. So i had to repack everything, to include they had to be under 100lbs a piece, and also i had to pay an extra 200 dollars for the extra bags. IT SUCKED ASS! then when i get to security, they made me empty out everything, you know cuz they thought i was carring a bomb or something. GRRR! and i was in uniform! luckily they bumped me up to FIRST class on both my flights. That was nice. and once i got here it was hectic. It was like run run run run run! and then i FINALLY get to the building i am supposed to be staying at, and find out that i am not going to start training for another 2 weeks.,... GRRR!!!!

Today i recieved my shots... and for everyones information... i found out im NOT pregnant today!! yippie! not that i was worried... just want everyone to know that. I recieved my TB and my Antrax shots. I also got blood drawn... ICK!

I have been doing a lot of sitting around and waiting. there are 2 girls that i can not stand!! i seriously want to punch them so bad. They are disrespectful to EVERYONE including NCO's! i have told them time and time again to watch themselves, but they dont!! i just wish they would know who they were talking to!

well that is all for now... there will be more to come. I am sorry i do not have an address yet, as soon as i get it i will post it!

love ya, miss ya,

yes im leaving

well most of you already know that i am leving for texas tommorrow, and then at the end of the month i will be in Iraq.

I am informing you now, that i cant leave details on where i am going, nor can i tell you some of the exact details of my mission. I inform you of this now, because i could get in a lot of trouble if i do, or if you know anything, spreading the word.

I ask you, if you are approached by the media, to keep it simple and honest. The less they know the better.

I feel the military has provided me with the best possible training i could recieve, and feel confident in my job over seas.

This is what i wanted, Just remember that, i want to go overseas and fight for my country. If you dont agree with what i am doing, then please keep that to yourself.. Cuz i dont want to hear about it.

I will miss you all greatly and keep you up to date on here and through letters.

I love you all.
