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.
