Another One Bites the Dust

Yawn

This will be me tonight. I have a 24 hour shift coming up. All I get to do is sit in a little office and enjoy the company of another sgt, and an officer for 24 hours straight with no sleep. Oh joy!

Short and Sweet

I don't have much to say. I had a pretty busy week, lot's of maintenance going on. We are leave for the field on Saturday until the 5th of October. I am going to my first F.A.R.P.(Forward Arming Refueling Point) It's where the helicopters land to get loaded up with ammo and missiles. The pilots are going to be shooting rockets and the 30mm gun while we're there and then hellfire missiles the last three days. I am looking forward to learning a lot but not being in the field. That part isn't so much fun.

And like last week this week is going to be just as if not more busy because we have to pack everything up for the field as well as finish up any work on the aircraft we are doing and do the daily inspections on the aircraft. Also we just got two do privates in the shop so it looks like I am going to be doing some training with them to try and get them up to speed on the basic stuff they need to know.

All this work gives me an excuse to not be as up to speed on my postings this week right?

The Beginning of Another Week

Isn't it tough going back to work on a Tuesday after a long three day weekend, especially after a very strenuous and difficult week of not working? I know it is for me.

On Saturday we had to take a bus back from our field sanitation class. We knew it was going to be a long trip because of the Korean holiday of Chusok. Every one in Seoul was going south to visit family so the roads were really congested. This trip should have taken about 4 hours, instead it took about 7 hours with one stop in the middle. This is what the roads looked like. As mentioned in a previous post the driving in Korea is terrible too. At one point our bus driver almost killed a man who missed his exit on the highway so he decided to dart across 4 lanes of traffic to make it. All of the drivers seem to like hitting their brakes at random times when there is no one around too. Very annoying.

This was taken on a previous bus ride. Not quite sure what they are there for. These were the only two towers I saw. There wasn't any wires running from them either. I thought the shape of them was cool though.

This was at the same spot where I saw the Korean mime and fro. It was like some big festival or something.

 

 

I can't remember where I took this but I thought it was funny and a good Korenglish picture.

Shutterfly

  I am finally back at wonderful Camp Eagle after a long long long bus ride back. But that is another post. I was going to post some pictures and other stuff but since I am getting ready for bed I am just going to do this quick post. I recently bought a external hard drive and it had a advertisement for Shutterfly.com on it. You may already know about this site but I think it's cool. You can upload your pictures to the site for safe keeping  and the first day you sign up you qualify to get 50 free 4x6 prints and a 11x14 poster. Also periodically they send you emails with free stuff. I just got a 20 page photo book which would have normally cost $30. All I had to pay was shipping. Not to bad if you ask me.
