Looking for a reason why I haven’t updated? Because of some Marine Corps bullshit! Alright, so in Iraq, we worked everyday. Stressful, tired, hot, ( or cold, what have you ) and basicly, in a place with nothing to do. I wanted to come back to Okinawa instead of taking leave because I wanted to get back into the swing of things. I wanted to meet the new people I’m going to be working with for the next few months and etc and see how things are running, but mainly I wanted to see my girlfriend. Now, I don’t regret it, but I wish I was treated a little bit differently. Maybe like someone who just came back from Iraq. So far, I’ve been putting up with late, late hours for an inspection that due to piss poor planning isn’t going to look good on our part. This isn’t my fault, but I am paying dearly for their mistakes for their errorours ways. I’m also not going to blame them, but at least take responsibility for your actions. Why should I have to clear this work up at 0200 in the morning? Come on people…for real. Out of 14 days, I have only been with my girlfriend for 4. That means, the other 10 days, I was working way too late or I was busy doing some crazy bullshit that didn’t pertain to myself. Unbelieveable! I do however go on leave in two weeks. I’ll be here in Okinawa with Hiromi, then after a few days, we will fly to the States and visit my family. I am really, REALLY looking foward to that. Oh well, am I can do is bite my tounge and wait for time to go by, but I just can’t believe they can do this to me. Its hard to grasp what I went through and now this. You know…I always say it could be worse…but this time, they are making it really hard to see it that way.
