24 hour post

so here i am on duty at the squadron on the lovely friday afternoon. i have about 20 more hours to go until my weekend starts. but i will most likely be sleeping my weekend away. theres not much to do here in az anyways so im not missing out on much anyways.
I bet you are all wondering what I've been up to for that last three weeks that I've been here. Well here's the scoop

I flew out of manchester on june 24 at 525 in the morning. There was like 3 stop overs and it took me 12 hrs to get to yuma. I was going nuts. And the flight into phoenix and yuma sucked so bad bc of the mountains so there was so much terbuliance and I was getting sick to my stomach. And the flying caused my ears to be blocked for over a week it sucked.

Well we got here and checked in on june 25 with my temp squadron vma 513. It took us about 2 weeks to check in everywhere. We had to get our gear and put in travel claims and get meal cards.. the whole 9 yards that most of u wouldn't understand what I am talking about.

After all the checking in I started working with my shop doing my job. And its actually not as bad as I thought. I've been jacking up aircrafts servicing them taking off panels and for the last week I've been painting. So my hours have changed instead of going into work at 630 am to 5pm I was in at 2 am to about 630am. But I haven't been getting much sleep before or after... my sleep schedual got all messed up. N my roommate kept waking me up at 11 when she'd come in the room during her chow breaks.

On wed I had the gas chamber... not as bad as I thought it was just long classes that were boring and tiring... and it was so hot outside and we were dressed in full MOPP gear. Which is a suit that protects ur skin from poisionous vapors or liquids. And its really hot wearing it to walk all the way down to the chamber. It was fun..

Thrusday when I went into work at two in the morning I did something for the first time.. it was like 300am and my corporal asked me if I have ever tried dip before. I have but the pouch did not the realy stuff and I didnt like it then. But I tried the real stuff to try something new. Mint flavor. Well let's just say its pretty nasty and I won't be doing that n e time soon. It made me so dizzy and kinda gave me an upset stomach. So that lasted all but 5 to 10 minutes. My two corporals got a kick outta it. It was an interesting eperience.

Well right now I'm on duty trying not to drive myself completely crazy. All I do is sit here and answer the phone and look pretty. Not a bad job. It would be better if it was Thursday instead bc I would have Friday off and a long ass weekend but I'm not that luck :-(.

But so far yuma is not that bad. I've been meeting a lot of interesting ppl both at work and at my barracks. Everyone no matter their rank is pretty chill. U have ur few assholes but what place doesn't. Like I said there's not much to do here and unless u go about 2 to 3 hours away to san diego or phoenix. And right now I don't have a car so there's really not muh I can do.

But on the other hand some really exciting news is that my boyfriend william will be here on the 23 which is a Thursday I believe. I can't wait bc its been over a month since I've seen him. OH n some more big news that I found out about two weeks ago. The squadron that I'm originally in (vma 211) will be deploying in april 2010 to afgahastan. I'm am totally excited and hopefully ill be able to go. Ill be banking when I come back. Ill def post some updates on here if I get anymore info.

Well that's all I have for now. If there's n e thing else ill post again. N I kno I really need to get ontop of this blogging thing but I'm currently with out internet n a computer. So I'm trying my best.
