100th post

Started this blog a little over a year ago. (04/14/08). A lot has change since then. This past year, sometimes things seems dull and routine in the rear. Other times usually during operations, things seem hectic and ever changing. It was the last year I saw my grandma. I miss her a lot already. It was hard being back home during leave, watching someone so sick. Being in a different country for so long gives you new perspectives, and its really been eye opening. Happy to move back to the states in a few months. 08 hasn't been the greatest year, but I think it's been a year where I learned a lot.

Learned a lot about dealing with people. I guess if in the Marine Corps if you can somehow get thru all the bs and hassles, you can pretty much get thru all the bs life throws at you. I mean look at all the paper and bs just to get a gold card here, or Humvee license, Tuition Assistance, etc. Some Marines actually get denied some of these benefits , and you really gotta fight for just basic privileges. I guess if you learn to navigate thru all this, civilian life would be easy to get what you want.



That and May 4th...is everyone waiting to short that day? (stress test results).
