I had a lovely last weekend. I found out that my desert camouflage (DCU's) has arrived. Not only has arrived, it was divided out (and that was my job over the weekend... dividing out the clothing) Oh Joy.

I'm not on the alternate list anymore, but this thing from Hawaii may have to be cancelled if I get my orders. Right now, I have no time or money to fly over to Hawaii to find a place and who knows... it may take some time for me to find a place. I can't get a hold of my friend over there to get his address. I have to talk to the captain on Saturday to have my name put back on the list...nothing is falling right with the Hawaii situation. I feel like I'm cheating the deployment for not accepting the fact that I'm practically being deployed with everyone else. My name was called and I'm not accepting the responsibility. If you were wondering...we have a 14 month deployment with a possible extension.
There is only 3 guys left on the alternate list and if there is a lady that comes off the deployment guess who's going... ME!



From what I understand, we are staying in Milwaukee for approx 3 weeks... I'll keep studying via email. My professors have acknowledged the situation and will do anything to get me out of campus. (yeah!) However, I will not be able to walk on the stage to accept my college diploma. Bummer! I've been waiting 4 1/2 years for that. But, that comes with the territory.
Cross your fingers. I'll have mine crossed.
I'm waiting for a warm up... who is hogging the warmer temperatures??? Pretty please with a cherry on top.


I'll drink some beer for people who would like me to. For those that had a rough week (I'm not naming names)
