Handcrafted Artificial Replicant Responsible for Yelling

10th July, 2009. 12:50 pm. I have arrived

Well, I'm at my permanent duty station and will be for the next ten months or so. In the interests of OPSEC, I really can't tell you specifics of where I am or what I'm doing.

But I do have a mailing address! I can't post it, but if you want it, shoot me an e-mail.

2nd June, 2009. 7:48 pm. Greetings from Camp Shelby

First, a housekeeping item. Not that any of you did, but stop writing to the address I gave before. We're leaving soon, so any mail we get starting this week will be returned to sender.

Second, I need a ride from the airport in Memphis on the 12th around 1 PM. Any takers? Call my cell at 304 261 7395.

Uhhh.... that's about it, really.

It seems that I am, as ever, an idiot.

Four days in negotiations with pirates? Are you fucking kidding me?

I think we should do everything we can reasonably do to get the hostages back. When they inevitably kill the hostages, we sink them. And then we raze the Somali coast and wipe them off the face of the Earth.

That's what I think.

Good moods are such fragile things, aren't they?

Current mood: blah.

Sorry, everyone. Just been kinda frustrated lately. Wasn't fair or right of me to go on LJ and be all "raar you guys suck."

I'll do a detailed write-up of what's going on while I'm at Shelby.

None of you give a Goddamn. Why do I even have this fucking LJ, anyway?

I can't help but feel that nothing in my life ever goes right.

17th February, 2009. 7:30 pm. What's Up With Me These Days?

I got a phone call on January 15 from SGT Admin asking me if I was on orders. Naturally, I responded "what orders?" He then asked me if I had heard anything about college students being put on orders until mobilization. I replied "nope."

Turns out higher decided that college students, who generally rely on the GI Bill for their income, should be put on active duty so that they can afford to live.

My name had been left off the list of soldiers who qualified.

Another batch of names got submitted. I received active duty orders on February 10, back dated to January 26. So when I get paid, I'll be getting hella backpay.

I left my parents' place back for school January 19 and on January 20 I met Whitney. To say that we hit it off is something of an understatement, and we've been more-or-less attached to the hip since then. This wasn't something I was looking for, what with deployment coming so soon, but I guess it found me. I love her very much and I'm so glad we met.

February 9 I went to Camp Shelby for four days to train on something called LRAS3 - Long Range Scout Surveillance System. It's a 120 pound box that has four major components: Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Day TV, laser rangefinder, and GPSIS. It's an awesome system and has saved a lot of lives.

And that more or less brings us up to date.
