Life for me in todays Navy.

So I have had an eventful year in the Navy. Got to my first real command in Febuary, got settled and as soon as I felt like I knew what was going on I was moved to a different job. One that thankfully I like and it keeps my hands cleaner than changing oil and doing corrosion control did. I started school and have attended two classes at Park University so far. Then one day I happened to read a NAVADMIN message which said certain sailors could ask for early discharge. I figured why not ask? They just may say yes, well after months of waiting I found that they did indeed say yes! So I am getting out June 30, 2010! I also was frocked to 3rd class and was named as the Blue Jacket of the Year for the Shore side of my command. Everyone thinks I should stay because of this fact, but I say all the more reason to get out. At any other job that wouldve been followed with a raise, bonus, promotion or something. I mean employee of the year?! C'mon people. I work in a job that should be filled by a chief but still get paid as an airman. It sucks.
 So I have applied to two colleges San Diego State and Cal State San Marcos, hopefully one will take me otherwise I will just have to find a morning job and go to school at night at Park. Any of those three would be great!
I am on duty, bored as usual. I've been left with a bunch of silly things to do so I better get to them.

Pizza Port

Pizza Port in Solana Beach. This pizza joint is awesome! So yummy. Went there last night with my best friend in the world and we had an awesome time. Everyone must eat there. But get there early.

Way tired.

So for the past couple of nights my sleep schedule has been wacked out! Monday night I didn't fall asleep till 1am, which is way too late for this older sailor who has to be at work by 0630. Then on duty in the bunkroom last night I woke up at 0300 as parched as if I'd ran through the Sahara Desert.  Then didn't drift off again till 0400. What the heck? I ran a half marathon this weekend, I thought those things were supposed to wear you out.
Anyhoo I need to write a paper for my management class and I picked Google as an example of the future of management. Any input?

Just Me and Marilyn hanging out in Hollywood!

Good Evening and Welcome to my new plaything.

So I am finally succumbing to the Blog craze, I have written a blog or two back when MySpace was innocent and not nearly as creepy as it now is. Facebook is great but its so full of advertisements now. I guess I just need a place where I can fuss about work and post pretty pictures of all the cool things I get to do in California.

So tonight I did homework, watched an awesome How I Met Your Mother episode. The mother has been revealed to be in a classroom of a couple of hundred people in a classroom, sigh. Oh well I still love the show. I love that its so not really about who the mom is at all anymore but about how funny can Barney and Marshall be.

I have duty tomorrow so I should really get to bed.......soon.
