well just a few days ago we took our "hero photos." that's just army talk for the pictures they show when we die. apparently we become heroes then? lol, on a better note, we start wearing our multicam uniforms (hence the new background) next week. so no more acus! it'll be a change at least, i don't know that they're much different though, aside from the pattern. now comes the fun of packing all of my gear into just a few bags. i have to do that by tuesday so i can bring it in to work and dump it all out, just to repack it. my supervisors want to make sure i have everything, just like it was in elementary school... i swear you get treated like you're 7 years unless you're an officer. whatever, i still have excuses to not have half of my stuff, so there's no point in me even doing that layout. i do, however, need to pack so this will stop me from putting it off too long.
i also found out my new permanent (tentatively) date when i leave. i can't post it on here, but it's in early april. by my birthday, i'll be somewhere that is not the US. i might be in afghanistan, or i might be somewhere en route. i'm not sure what exactly is going on from when i leave till i arrive in afg. well, that's all i know for now. check back later for one more post before i ship out.

dear dj, you're a hero in my eyes. please don't die. sincerely, jessie
ReplyDeletehaha, thanks jessie. i'll do my best not to die. but really i'm not worried about it. even if i die, i know where i'm going. so that's not that bad, is it? i know everyone back home wants me to live though, so i'll leave out the scary parts of my blog. plus i'll have those awesome infantry guys there to protect me. and i trust them!
