They Have Nothing Left!

I saw this video on another website and thought it was hilarious. If you don't know The Onion is a satire news source. This is truly a sad sad situation.

Another Week Done

There really hasn't been anything that has happened recently which means there is not much to post about. Still working in the supply room but things have been picking up a little bit so at least I'm not too bored.

I'm off for 4 days this weekend due to veterans day. Be sure to say thanks to all the veterans you know and think about all the soldiers and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today.

I don't have any major plans for the weekend. My only real plan is to go here . . . Seoul Tower. It is supposed to be the best view of Seoul. I guess we'll see how that goes.

 

So I guess that's about all the news I have for today. I hope you all have a good day/weekend.

Korean War Memorial

As I mentioned last week I was planning to go to the Korean war memorial this weekend. Well, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it was going to be. We got in for free because we are military which was a good thing. It had some interesting exhibits but only a few times did they happen to mention the other countries that helped them out.

This was one hallway that listed what I am assuming to be the names of all the South Korean soldiers that died in the war.

 

 

In another hallway they had listed the names of all the soldiers form the other countries that participated in the war. These two boards had the names of all the soldiers from Michigan.

This was an exhibit called the drop. It was made up of over 1,300 dog tags that symbolize all the soldiers who gave their lives. The barbed wire wrapped around it symbolizes the horror, suppression, and danger of war.

 

 

 

For those of you that have seen  Full Metal Jacket, you should remember the part where Gunnery Sgt. Hartman tells one marine to "show me your war face!" Well here is my war face.

 

This is Wilson(right), the cool commander, me, and Mackin(left). We were goofing off and put Mackin's sunglasses on the mannequin. It makes him look just a little tougher.

 

Here is a short video of some more pictures that I took.

It wasn't really that bad of a trip. It is always god to get another prospective of something and we always have a good time when we do things like this.

Quick Update

I have been in the supply office for the last three days now. I haven't done very much. I moved some furniture around and that's about it. I guess I will be working more starting on Monday. I feel like I'm in prison though because I'm in a big fenced in area just off the flight line where I can see all the Apaches, I just can't reach them.

I am planning to go to the Korean war memorial in Seoul tomorrow (Saturday) so I will be posting pictures of that next week. Hope everyone has a good weekend and Happy Halloween.

Noooo!!

I was just told that I am probably going to be moved out of the armament shop for about 2 months to help out in the supply room. This is not a good thing because I was just starting to learn the more technical aspect of my job. I am not very pleased. I guess they needed someone competent to help out in the supply room because they are short handed. I will still be doing PT with armament but won't see them during the day and while they are all having fun working on the aircraft I get to do paperwork.  I know it sounds like a petty problem but I would really appreciate it if you could all pray for me for the next few days until I get everything straightened out and find out what is going on with the whole thing. I will be sure to keep you updated. Thanks.
