Prayers For Suz

This is a post for Suz. I hope that she gets better and all is well with her. I heard that she broke a few bones, was rushed into surgery and is doing quite well now. Everyone please pray for her and her speedy recovery.

Work..and the joy of it

Well today was just another day in the life of an airman i guess. I woke up at 5ish put my uniform on, ate a bowl of captain crunch, fed the dog, fed the cat, and headed in. We got there and theres the new guy. Now let me tell ya about the new guy. This dummy is straight out of the academy(military) and he has only been in the military for about 6 months. Now here is the thing. I went into the military years ago, and some others close to me were in wayyyy before that, and this kid who is 21 damn years old tries to come in and brandish his bars and im supposed to be scared! HA! Heres where the i dont like assholes attitude comes in! I'll give ya just a bit of our convo.

Lt: Good morning everyone
US: Morning Sir'
LT: Well we really are gonna have to make some changes around here...
Me: Whats wrong sir?
LT: Well when an officer comes into the room with 8 enlisted men and 2 enlisted women, and an officer is greeted like i just was, there is room for change.
Me: Did someone say something wrong Sir?
Lt: Boy everything was wrong with you and this crew. You all are supposed to be the cream of the crop of the Air Force and and you all look like you outta be in the Merchant Marines!
TIMEOUT! BOY! WOW! That struck a nerve
Me: With all due respect Sir, we are a tight knit group. We have been a tight knit group for awhile sir and im sorry if we acted out of turn.
Lt: Thats what comes with being told that youre the cream of the crop. They didnt teach us about this in the academy.
Me: *stands up*
Msgt: Lt.! I suggest you get that academy wire out of your ass before you have one of these men or women jump on your ass and im gonna turn my head! These guys are your lifeline if you havent noticied. I think you need to understand where you are. SO before you open your mouth to anyone of us in a disrestful way, i suggest you go to war, shoot at something living and not take a bath for a week is that understood!
Lt: I beg your pardon, im the Officer here.
Msgt: Im the MSgt who has been in 30 years. Youre walking a thin line young man and youre in way over your head. I sugesst you think about that. Also son, when you go to the Maj. and the Capt. and tell them about me, you will see how much weight the academy has given you. At this stage of the game, you are a replacement. A mere body who is a supervisor who needs the workers to teach him how the game is played. LEarn something Lt.
US: WOW!

Needless to say this guy tried to go up the Chain and report the Master Sgt. and he got his ass reamed big time by the real big wigs. Dumb damn kid... Hes the kinda motherfucker who will get me and someone i care alot about coming home in a flag draped casket. When will they learn.

In other news, the dog got into my Mac and cheese that was left over from last nite and apparently dogs like mac and cheese! IS it healthy for them? HMMM..

Well its off to workout... See ya

Hey guys how are you? Life is good in Tornado Alley:? I think id rather survive a hurricane or get scared by one, rather than worry about twisters and what they could do to you. While up in the midwest, the newscaasters always talked about the possibilites. It was just a uneasy feeling. Me and the animals have been ok. They are finally adjusting to moving and being in a new place, but it will be time to shift off again and move again. I have been on the go now for over 15 days with no more than 5 hours of sleep. I am in crash mode, but i never make it there. I keep runnin but i never stop and catch my breath. Man we are making so many damn enemies in this world until it is gonna be thing in 2008 when we get a new Prez. I think that the 08 Prez is gonna be a woman and bring change, but i also think that with all of these enemies that we dont have the resources or people to police the world like we used. Sometimes i think this damn military may just be the death of me. I wont get out.. I wont leave.. Im here. Stuck running and not catchin my breath. Im not complaining, just stating a fact.

Also i would like to thank Marv, Pilot Mom and Wegrit for the kind words and emails that were sent. They are awesome. I also have a blogger who wants to make world famous cookies and ship them to the base, but the world famous recipe would be better.. Then i could make them whenever i want! J/k

Well it is late and i have to get to bed. I would post more but i just cant. I can only see how my friends blogged my every word in Iraq. This is work...

Well until i write againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Overwhelming Support

Hey guys, I would like to thank you all for your overwhelming support with my last blog..on and off the blog. It meant alot to me.

I had the chance to meet up with some other military bloggers and i think we are gonna have some good stories and photos to share coming up real soon. We are a dedicated group of people who arent in it for movies(which will come out soon) money or fame. It is just the real life story of men, women and dogs who have been to war and how it has changed there life.

As far as work goes, it went well! I have been having fun...ive been enjoying the midwest polluted air and the crazy drivers and massive people with road rage. I also have had the chance to take the general to a military vet and he didnt like that much. That was the first time that i have seen him growl... I mean hes all bark and no bite but it was funny...

His health is good my health is good and life is great.

The "new chick" and i are going sloooooooooooooow but good at this point.

Well its 0315 so i gotta runn

Hey guys, sorry that i have been posting alot. I have had a psycho ex blogger from back in the day filling my email with nothing but bullshit hate messages and it got to the point where i had to take it to the next level and actually act a complete ass! I mean i love women to death and i think women are the most precious gift on earth, but when i have to contact civilian law enforcement to get people to just leave me alone it just sucks.. but im glad its over. This particular person disrespected me, the blog, this country and everything. Sometimes it takes a while for people to show there true colors. This particular person took me off of there blog, and had her followers(blog groupies) follow with her, but she continues to look at my blog on a daily basis and email me with disrespectful and distasteful comments. Its sad, but people are people.

Also i had some buddies from Washington come over to the midwest and we went out tonite and had some drinks and steaks. The bill was 156 bucks!

Also i would like to say thank you bunches to Wegrit for the email that was sent. It was a sad case but true. Alot of people get out of the military after war and they dont get the treatment that they recieve for the things that they have seen or heard or witnessed in war. They keep them bottled up inside and things just go ape shit. I know vets who cant get jobs now, but have served there country and they turn to drugs and alcohol and pills. I can only hope to wegrit that this guy that she ran across gets help and he deserves it.

Other than that i have been working in the warly mornings and i have been coming home late at night. I wish that i could be around the General more and spend more time with him and it kinda sucks well..thats life


Well see ya...

P.S. To all of the shit starters who continue to read my blog and email me with dumb stuff, just stop. You have a choice..read the blog or dont read the blog. Its a choice. If you dont like it, dont read it...It makes no sense to read it and hate the blog.. Save yourself and save me some trouble...

Nite
