Today was a good day! the first thing i had to do today (besides wake up) was go zero my M4 at the range. I zeroed in the first 12 rounds! yippie. Then i got to relax!
Right now i am sitting in the PX and just monkeying around on the computer. I thought i should leave a lil note. I am in good spirits, the whole part of me leaving has hit me, but hasn't really sunk in yet. I feel like im on a working vacation. It feels weird, Like i should be sadder then i am, or more upset with the military. At the same time-- i know this is something i wanted, and something that will benefit me.
I also want to give props to my uncle Paul, he is amazing, and knows what he is talking about when it comes to the military. He also watches out for me too! and i love him for that. He has been making plans for me on my pass ( that i may get) with one of his friends. His friend is going to show me the city of El paso... so i am super excited!!
Like always i miss everyone, and am sorry i dont write as much as i should... its just really busy for me here. I promise to write more when things slow down, but until then i am going to go... and be on my way.
Take care-- God Bless-- I love you All VERY much!

LIFE SUCKS!!
Ok so in the last month i have been training. doing basic stuff like detaining, restricting, and unarmed self defense. It is all really fun, but a lot of it is common sense!! WELCOME TO THE MILITARY i guess.
Well yesterday was one of the worst days of my life! I got oc sprayed aka pepper sprayed. all i can say is FUCK MY LIFE!! it was the worst pain i have ever felt in my entire life. It felt like someone was poking my eyes out from the inside with pins. then we had to go through a lane with the oc in our eyes and the first step was to take a guy down using the arm bar, the second was to use the baton and swing back and forth, the third step was to keep 2 attackers back, then the thrid was to block, and the forth was a take down with the baton. The decon would have to be the worst part of everything tho. we rinsed our eyes, and put baby shampoo in them... like literlly in our eyes! then went in front of a fan. mind you, you can not see a damn thing. so then i knelt near a wall and tried to cry it out of my eyes. well i started throwing up and then i passed out. ICK! when i got back to "camp" i took a shower, which reactivated the stuff! OUCH!
today, i got tazed! that was not that bad. it just felt like tons of electricity running thorugh your body. it actually helped my soar back! yippie!!
I get to take a written test tomorrow on detainee operations. im excited about it! i have been doing out standing here. i have been actually doing above and beyond.
I miss you all, and it is hard being here, but this is something i want to do. As bad as it sounds they are keeping me sooooo busy, that i can barly do anything else. That kinda sucks, but it also makes me not miss home as much. i mean i think about home and all my family, friends, and everyone else all the time i do get.

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.
