Put Your Feet Up

north island here i come... (Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2003)

well yesterday was nerve wracking. I had to pick new orders for my ship because its being bought by civilians and the whole ship is leaving.

So im down in the office all morning and i am getting sicker and sicker to my stomach, so sick that i actually must eat crackers to curb the nausea. and we go out to wait in line, which was taking forever, and after 2 and a half hours of waiting,in the sun,i finally get in the room.

There were a billion people in there, and i am claustrophobic. not of small spaces exactly, but of too many bodies in it. i realy just wanted to get up and run out of there. while i was sitting there some guys ass was directly behing my head.!!

Finally i get to talk to the guy, and he only offers me 3 choices, 1.)HSL 47, which is a helo squadron, 2.) Camp Pendleton medical center- attatched to the marines, and 3.)CSMWP AIMD a supply squadron over on north island. so i chose #3.

I really thought i wanted the med center, but if theres a chance i am being deployed to brush up on my survival skills??!?.. no thanks.Hope fully i made the right choice, because its really too late now. it would be really sweet if i never had to stand any duty again, and have really short working hours so i can go to school, but the truth is,i really have no idea what its going to be like until i get there.

I will probably work with a bunch of dirty pig navy guys that are all perverts and warthogs. and i will be sexually harrased for the next 4 years.

Yup thats probably what i signed up for.
