Day 14: 9 FEB 08

Well two days in a row I did not post and so far that’s the worse I have been. To be honest I am still getting my sleep pattern on. Today is Saturday and I have off which means I will be getting my homework done and just relaxing in my room. I think I am close to getting use to this place. It’s really cold so my hut is cold as well. I guess you just learn to deal with it. I did another shoot on base on Friday and it was cool. Met a reservist out of Pennsylvania who was a part of the story I covered. I found out last night my old supervisor and good friend may be going back into the Army because they need him. This guy served almost 6 years active duty and got out about a year and a half ago. He is on inactive reserve which means he’s still on the books but has no real duty left. Once he hits his 8 years total he does not own the military anything. Its kind of hard to explain. But anyway the Army must have noticed he was getting to his 8 year mark of total service and said ‘hey lets have you come help us. I really am beginning to have a bad, bad dislike for the Army. I have to call him today to get the full story but boy is that BS. Other than that I am good. I know Valentine’s Day is upon us and much like Michelle’s birthday, Emma’s Birthday, my Dad’s birthday, and my cousin’s wedding I will be missing them by being here. I have to say that missing weddings, and in my case that makes the third cousin now (Aimee, Chris, and now Zach), is really starting to bother me. I guess I just got to keep plugging away and then make a good sound decision when it comes to reenlisting and taking an assignment back in the states. Well I got to get to my homework so I am out. I will post more tomorrow and just know that my trip off base got canceled the other day because of all of the snow in the area. It looks as if I will be going out this week. I will be sure to let everyone know. Ok have a good day.
