home

We got to go on vacation back home for two weeks and it was awesome to get to see everybody again. My dog hubcap was lonely but had a friend house sitting so she had some company. I got airsick for the first time bad. Not fun. Flying back it it was rough and it was nasty. Family was happy to see us and it was fun to pick on them again. You know family is always there even when you don't want them sometimes lol but friends come and go and family is just stuck with you. Mine however seems happy to be stuck with the fact they can't get rid of me. Well i gonna go but thankfully all was well and i am home and working...again....sigh....never ends...

update

so i went camping this weekend lots of fun. got sunburned too that is the down part. found out that my dog, hubcap, loves one man boating. My dog is a new addition to my home, only had her for a couple weeks but we get along great, she is part hotdog, part taco bell dog, and part min pin. she sweet and very smart. nothing like a dog that is eager to please. I put up a couple pics from the trip. my hampster cecil isn't scared of her like at all. just sorta looks at her.
8 weeks and sean comes home! hope things go alright. I prayin that they do. well god bless and goodnight...it is time for bed....

so tomorrow i finish FTAC and will start crew shift. i go in to work at 11 and get off 12 hours later. fun huh. I miss ya'll. I don't know if anybody even gets on anymore. life seems to have happened to everybody. sad but true. Well here is a riddle i wrote see if you can solve it.
In the darkness her tears fall
just for him alone
though he is not there
he knows and hold dear
her every tear
letting them strengthen him
till finally they are together
stronger till the end of time
till the end of eternity.

wow i really did get on here a lot. i wrote some half decent stuff too. i miss everybody i used to know on here. i just contacted andi. and e-mailed brittany. i don't write near as much as i should. it just seems i never have time. i will work on it though. Sean is gone and it sucks coming home to an empty house all the time. had some friends over this weekend and then we decided to go to san fran. now that was a fun time. so glad i have a gps.would have been so lost once we got there without. we went across the golden gate bridge and realized we needed batteries so bought some and went across again. then we went to the fishermans warf and walked around all the piers and we went to china town and there are cable cars everywhere and they look funny. then we took a ferry to alcatraz and got a tour that was about 4 hours. then we went to this great little italian resturant that was authentic...we ate pizza best pizza i have ever had. we took over a 1,000 photos. i will put some on here later. love ya'll. ttyl
bye

still going

well i have made it to block 10. Passed my first test in this block and my brief. I will only have seven weeks left come tuesday. I am praying that everything continues to go well. It looks like rain today. I am so tired too I dunno why. Soon as I am done with school I will probably be awake all the sudden. School makes me tired.
I am here forever it seems and I am going to soon have to watch a few more friends leave. I hate making friends and having them for months on end hanging out almost daily and then having to say goodbye. It is so sad. I hate it.
I miss my husband. Hopefully my orders get changed and I get to join him in CA if not I will suffer through korea. I would love to go to korea at a different time just not right now. I mean it will be a year that we have been apart minus seeing him for a weekend right before I came in. And I am sorry a weekend just isn't the same. Nothing even close...he lives in the barracks and we visit during the day then he had to go back. I honestly can't say I know what married life is, we have been apart so much. We talk daily thankfully but right now I am going on two days on ten minutes. He is busy and I am busy it just doesn't work out that well right now. I am praying for the best though. Keep us in your prayers.
Love all of you,
Rachael

All of life is simply a process of dying. Some may see this as a pessimistic or depressing POV but it is the honest truth and is neither to me. I feel that if life is just a process of dying I may as well spend my time doing something worthwhile. If I were to die in combat someday I would be just as pleased as dying at home at the age of 102. I will be so upset if I end up dying in something like a car accident. I be there arguing with St. Pete I'll be like "man you gotta let me go back and die again. This doesn't work for me." I figure that yes being in the military means being deployed, being deployed means hostile environment, hostile environment means possibility of not coming back, dead. I am totally cool with that. I will have died serving my country and that couldn't make me happier. I will have died serving a cause greater than myself and even if I am never remembered I would be pleased. My country, my homeland I am proud to defend her.

No freedom comes without a cost this is something that far to many want to just blow off and ignore. Why? Because they don't like the price even though they may love the right. What is this price that people don't care to think about? Death that is the price for your freedom. I don't care how you want to look at it. Without death there cannot be a free life. The freedoms that you get to enjoy everyday are my and my brothers in arms gift to you. The right to do whatever it is you want to do or say within some loose boundries is my gift to you. My life for yours and your childrens. This is what being an American should mean to every freedom loving person but sadly it isn't. No the news media puts us down every day on the television but I gladly protect their right to do so. What happened to patriotism in america? What happened to loving your country and doing what it took to keep her the great country she is. What happened to the red white and blue. Do you even know what our flag means. Do you tear up like many and most military at the playing of our anthem? Every night we are called to quarters by the playing of taps every evening. Every night I go to bed with the thought of those who have died and are dying for my country and me now. I think of all the men and women who went before. I, never before realized quite what I do now that i am serving my country as well. It isn't allways easy I won't lie. But it is worth it. I encourage you to step up serve your country. Step up and be an unashamed patriot. Bleed red, white, and blue along with me. Love your Country, love your family and serve your God. This is all I ask. These are the rights I defend. Cherish them.
