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.

Getting Ready To Go Back Out

Soon, my ship will be leaving again for awhile, but this time it will be longer. As I am preparing to go, I think of things I needed to buy, or needed to go do, but no matter what, come the time to be ready to go, I'm there on my ship ready to go. We don't know whats going to happen when we go out, but we do know that we have a job to do, and that job is protecting our homes, wives, kids, parents, friends, and family that have, is, and forever will support us who wear not only the US Navy uniform, but all uniforms of the United States Armed Forces. If I may ask those who read this, if you could pray for my ship, my shipmates, our commanding officer, and I for a safe journey home, that would be much appreciated.

Sometimes Just Want To Be Alone

I was out last night in Seattle, Washington with a buddy of mine that wanted to come. So we went to the movies like I had planned on before he tagged along, saw our movie, and was on our way to the ferry. Then making long story short, we missed the ferry that I wanted get on to take me back to Bremerton to see the placed this chick asked us to go to. I dont mind hanging out with people, but those times that I want to be alone to enjoy the night and follow my timeline is why I dont normally have people join me when I go somewhere unless their going to the same place as me.

Unkown But Yet Known

We are always happy to go and do something. Planning something months ahead of time. Then out of no where, we're told to start getting ready for the mission that we knew was goign to happen, just hoping it was after our planned trip, or date. I'm only told dates and what were going to do, but those are for little things, not the big deployments. Nope, we don't know until later down the road, but even though we may get mad, we have to be flexable. We always have to be flexable to meet the needs of the country and the world. We're told that this date and this month we should know when this happens. That statement is more true than ever now since I've joined the US Navy, but I accept the fact that I have to be flexable cause anything can happen at any given point in time. The uknown but yet known. Our deployments.

Being Appreciated By People You Dont Know

I know being appreciated by your family means a lot to everyone including me. But it feels more gratifying when someone you don't know or you do but have never meet face to face before says thank you for what you are doing. I play an Internet game and I was in my own guild (club) in this game, by myself and alone. There was a guild that asked me to join, weeks later I did. And after minutes of me joining I was given this intro to the guild (we miss spell and abbreviate a lot[AdmiralWright is my account name]):Every one plz welcome AdmiralWright


he is a service man and more then deservers your respect more than just if you r and american We military men and women receive a lot of praise from friends and family, and we take in with all of hearts. But when it's from an unknown or no face person you play a game with, you take it more than you would normally. I know the person in the game, in the real world, I don't know him and he doesn't know me. But he said thanks in his way, and that what matters. Give thanks to those who wear the uniform the US Armed Forces, no matter if you know them or not, then will appreciate it more than you know and you never know. It might brighten their day

Safely Home

Well, I am home from my first little deployment. We were gone for two weeks and have returned for the time being. It was a pretty cool trip in my opion. At least I'll be ready for the next one to come up. While we were gone, we had to stop in San Diego for supplies going to and from the ocean and Washington. Being on a carrier is that bad of a thing, though you can really feel the waves when we're going through heavy seas.Besides that, I'm doing great and I am safely home in Washington.

In The Fleet & On My Ship

Well, I have arrived at my ship in Washington and have been enjoying it so far. The ship is pretty big, but I don't think that they had tall (6 feet and taller) in mind when they designed the ship. Being home for a while was great, enjoyed seeing family and friends that I haven't seen in a while. I'm happy to be here in the fleet finally and not at a training command. Well, got to go.

On my way to the fleet

I finally graduated from APACT and on my way home for leave for a couple of days, then off to my ship. I wasn't really happy to leave because i finally gotten comfortable in Pensacola an now I'm moving to the other side of the country. It's a life journey that I have decided to go down. I am willing to what I need to do to enjoy this life until I retire from it. Here I come home. Home sweet home Colorado.

In class, finally

Today, I have started my classes for my job in the Navy now. Today was just a bunch of paper work that we had to do. I graduate from my "A" school on 14March, and then I'm on my way to my ship wkth a stop on the way home. Here we go!

Road bumps and smooth roads

It's almost been a year since I lasted posted here on my blog. I am doing well in the navy. I am currently in Florida doing training for my job. I have been enjoying my time in Florida very much, both on and off the base. During the holidays I was able to fly home to see my family. Felling the cool Colorado air made me feel right at home. The time I was in Colorado I enjoyed, thanks again Grandma & Grandpa for letting me use your home to stay at while I was home. During my time in Florida, I have meet some one that I have began to fall in love with. Though now since she moved to a different training command in a different state, it's harder than it seemed. But, we are making it work. I'm currently awaiting to class up for my training and I am enjoying every day here in Florida and in the US Navy. Talk to you soon

Finally, I have made it to this day, even though it's tomorrow. I as beginning to type this post, I started to remember all the memories that I have made at Wasson High School and in the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.. I'm going to miss all my Friends that I have made over the years. Thank you, for helping me get to this day. You have helped me through the good and bad times in my life. You have raised me up on to my feet when I was on my knees. To my teachers, you have helped me become a smarter person than I was before. You gave knowledge that has helped me get through these years. To the NJROTC Corps. of Cadets, Instructors, and Volunteers, because of your friendship to me, you have made come from a shy kid, to a great man that people will like to know and trust. Thank my family (which includes some, if not most, of my friends) for pulling me through the storms of life to make on the other side, and for loving even when I royally screwed up. Thank any one and every one for helping me get to where I am today. Thank you. See you on the other side of the mountain.
