Hey everyone! I know I haven't been blogging much. But I just haven't found anything to blog about lately. We're going to spend some liberty time in Dubai (in the Middle East) for a few days. And then we're going to Kuwait for a few weeks. And then we're going back to Dubai for a few days. I think from there we're going to either Australia or Thailand.We'll see what happens.

Either way, we leave Kuwait in the beginning of February and start heading home! Man. It's going to go by so quickly. I can see Trina waiting for me and her dad at the pier right now! Hehe. I'm really excited to have him on the ship with me. There's going to be classes and stuff for them I think. I was looking at last year's pictures and that's what it looked like.

Man..I've been really antsy lately. I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because I'm heading home sooner than expected? I'm not sure. But in a month, this deployment will be halfway over. It's crazy eh? It seems like yesterday Trina was crying on me as I left to get on this big grey and cold-looking ship.That poor girl. I know she's hanging in there. That's pretty much all she can do really. I wish I could clone myself temporarily to help keep her company while I'm gone. Or maybe make her a robot or something. Something to keep her occupied you know?

How are things with all of you?I hope they're going well this holiday season. There's a little something missing for Trina, but that little something's coming home in a few months. I hope you all have a merry Christmas. And there will be more souvenirs on the way!:)

Hey guys. How are you all? Just left Singapore this morning. And I got souveniers for my family! I was going to get something for my friend, Larry. But Trina wouldn't let me. I'll send all the souveniers for Trina and she'll send them out to whoever they go to. The post office would only give me one box. So you know..no multiple packages going everywhere. Singapore was beautiful. I wish Trina was there to see it.She likes Asian woman and thinks they're cute too. So she would've gone crazy. Hehe. and now we're off to a liberty port in the middle east! And then we do our thing in Kuwait for a few weeks..and then it's off to home! Not too long now. I'll be home before trina even realizes I was gone. Hehe. and that's all for now. I'll blog more soon.

Hey everyone! If trina hasn't told you already then I can tell you because now the whole world knows. So much for that secret thing that we're supposed to have eh? As we speak, personnel are off loading food and water to the people of Bangladesh. I'm not getting off ship. But other people have already. And it looks like the CO of the ship istrying to get everyone on the Tarawa the Humanitarian Service Medal. Our departments have already submitted rosters and what not. So I'll have at least a star on my Overseas Service Deployment ribbon and a new medal when I come back.

And it looks like I might be doing this again a year after I get back unless I'm doing the recruiting thing. We'll see what happens. I don't want to come back to the states and turn around a couple months later to deploy to Iraq. I've been there. And 2 months at home only isn't enough of a reason to go back. The fact is: I loveTrina. And I'd like to spend as much time with her as possible. Our goodbyes prior to me going onto the ship were heartbreaking enough. Imagine getting off the ship just to tell her I'm going to deploy in a couple months. Once I get back though, I'm going to try and look into recruiting. Or maybe try being a career retention specialist. Like I said, we'll see what happens. I'm looking out for the best interests of me and Trina. I know she wants me home. I know I want to be home with her.

Other than that, it looks like we're going to have some liberty for a few days in Singapore. Really looking forward to getting off ship because I'm kinda starting to go stir-crazy. Hehe. I'm going to go with Wood (Trina knows who he is) and we're going to go see the sights. They plan on drinking that night, but I think I'm going to go back to the ship. Never really was much of a drinker.

I've started up my gym routine. And due to all the hot spots around the ship., I've been sweating a lot. It also means I've been burning fat! I've really started to slim down some, which is good. Trina was worried that I would get fat and have a heart attack or something. Hehe. I'll probably be looking real good when I come back. (winking in Trina's direction). That's all I can think of so that's all the blogging for now. I'll blog more as soon as I can.
