Last Night In Colorado, Last Good Bye's To Those I Leave Behind Till Next Time

As this is my last day here in Colorado, here in my home town, I am saying my final good bye's tonight and tomorrow before I leave to report back to my ship. To those who have meet me for the first time, I hope that we remain together and become great friends. To those who have known me for longest of time, I wish that remain as friends and see each other again in good health. And finally, to those who I was unable to see this time, I hope that you are safe were ever you are and that we will meet again the next time I come home. I pray for everyone that I know, love, and care about that they are safe, healthy, and doing great things with their lives. Even though I may be leaving for the longest of time, I am always more than happy to talk to anyone that knows me whether it be by phone, text, email, or by face book, I am always here to talk. My shoulder is open to anyone who needs comfort, and my ears open to listen to your words. But until we can meet face to face again, I say this (going nerdy now) "Live Long And Prosper My Friend." Farewell my friends, and see you later. May you have fair winds and following seas.

Another Year, Another Chapter Waiting To Be Written

I am almost done with my time on leave here in my home state of Colorado. With every thing that had happened last year (most of which was towards the end of it), I am glad that last years chapter has been closed and this new years chapter is waiting to have words written on it as I continue my time in the navy. has i have been home these past two weeks i have had a chance to see my two younger siblings and hos they have grown so much since i last saw them in May of last year. I just can't believe how big they have gotten and how they have been getting smarter by the day. I just hope that they will always know that their big brother is out there some where watching over them and protecting them in his own ways. (Now on something else), Since late May of last year, i am now an Aviation Machinist Mate (AD [some one who works on aircraft engines]), i have gotten my self a truck (F-150 1997), and have turned 21 (HELL YES!!! :) ). With so many other things that have happened between May and now it's hard to keep track. I just hope that I can keep going down this path that I have chosen to live. 

Dry Docked And Enjoying My Days Here

It has been several months since my ship, the USS John C. Stennis, went into dry dock and start the overhaul on her. During this time I have begun to look at going to school while here in Washington. I have also made some cool friends and have hanged out a lot together. They share the same love as I do which is anime & manga. Since we have became friends we have begun planning to go to two anime conventions here soon. The first one we are planning to go to is Aki Con in Seattle in late October (and I've been appointed the planner for these events. Thanks mom for the teachings of planning for things in advance. I owe you one.) While I've been here, I have been able to join the Naval Base Kitsap Navy Ball committee and I have been enjoying every bit of it. So I've been keeping myself out of trouble for the most part. I'm just glad that I get to stay put for longer than six months at a time. I hope I get to enjoy the time that I have here before the Stennis goes back out to sea again. Well, I should be going to bed now. Sleep well and may God bless you all.

Home On Leave/Remembering Those Who Have & Serving

I have been home in Colorado since the 17th of this month and have enjoyed every minute of it. I wish i could here with my family a little longer, but duty calls. I would like to recognize those that have severed this great nation and also to those that are serving along side me. But more importantly, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, those who have given their lives in the line of duty. May you always be remembered.

Almost Home

Hello my followers. I know I haven't posted in the past 8+ months due to me being deployed since august. Well I can finallt say that we are one more step away from begining at our home prot in Washington. I have been to Malaysia, Thailand, Bahrain, Dubai, Singapore, Hawaii, and now back in San Diego enjoying some time off. I have so many stories to write about that I want you all to hear. Being in different countries has made me relieze more than before of the fact that I am lucky to be an American and I am damn proud to serve in my country's navy. Being able to do things that most people cant is pretty awesome. I'm just glad that it's almost over and I'll be able to see my little brother, sister, mom, and dad here in the next couple of days along with the rest of my family and friends. To all those you have supported me and my ship, thank you. Your support is what drives us everyday to make through a deployment and copme back to see you all in the end.

Home On Leave, Catch My Breath Before Deployment

I just got home for leave before my ship is deployed at the end of the month. It will be the longest time that I will be from the US for the first time in my life, but I signed up for the job. I ask that everyone reading this to ask their friends and their house to pray that my ship and everyone on broad returns home safely and in one piece.

Goodbye Home, I'll Be Back Soon

My ship was told last month that we were getting deployed earlier than planned. The reason is cause of what is happening in the Middle East. I wish we didn't have to go, but it's apart of the job title. To be far away from home for a long period of time and still keep your cool. I'm getting ready now cause soon I'll be going home on leave (family, don't tell my mom please) and then as soon as I get back to base, my ship is getting ready to pull out. Guess that's why everyone loves getting care packages, cause it shows that your family back home loves you, and you get those pictures of your family pushes you to keep going forward and keep fighting the good fight for the loved ones back home. I have all the picture of my family and friends taped to my rack so that every night after a long days work, I can look at them and know that I'm fighting for them and they care about me, and wishes for my ship, my shipmates, & I to return home safely and in one piece.
