'07

Let's see. Its been a long time since I blogged. First entry of the new year.
I probably won't blog again for a while again. Maybe in a couple weeks. So I'll try to make this a long one.

Let's see, the Army rejected my application to go in early. Hey, why did I wanna go in early some of you ask? It what guys who suffer a heartbreak do. We want to go in in January. We wanna get away from the city and seeing couples all around. We want to invest our energy in serving the country instead of moping around drinking shooters every saturday night and shooting the shit with the fellows. At least that was the way things were going through my mind when i impulsively entered CMPB to apply for early enlistment. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

But that was after Christmas. its history now. I can laugh again (Well most of the time. I just got back today from my first love. Flying. It was great. After watching Flyboys. I rememebered how long since I'd last flown. The feeling of being in the air and controlling my own destiny(through the Grace of God) is just fantastic.

I got to thinking. Why do people write blogs? Where did the good old fashion journal go? Blogs can be seen by anyone. I don't tell many people about this blog for this precise reason. All you who see this are just scraping the surface of the REAL me. Most parts this blog is about flying but I do blog about life sometimes. Maybe its time I started writing a journal. Yeah, I'll do that in the army. Its gonna look like this..I got this inspiration from Call of Duty
Example:

21st April 2007
Barracks, BMTC School 1

Its been a tough day. We went for live firing and SOC today. We did ok for firing. SOC was tough and I nearly collapsed. Johnny slipped on the Jacob's ladders and broke some tooth. Chow was crap as usual. Outfield next week. Sergeant Tan says that we may be able book out early this weekend to rest up. Excellent!
Hope that the outfield will go alright. As long as we in the platoon support and help each other and our buddies, we'll be fine.
