Well I have been here for a few weeks now. It really isn't to bad here. I mean its not the funnest thing I have ever done. I work at the TMC with the doctors and PA's. I am definitely learning a lot too. Really its like just having a job away from family and friends. I go to work way to much though. There not much else to do here anyway. There not a lot of extra stuff going on. You work, eat, sleep, go to the gym, do homework, watch movies, and not much else. You hear big booms every once in a while, but as far as I know they have all been out going. I would say though as compared its not too bad. I do, however, have no desire to come back. Or for that matter, re-enlist. I sure hope I can find something else in 2012. There a number of things that I just can not stand in the Army. I figure it was a good experience, and hoping that in 20 years I am not talking about retiring from the Army. If I do, I definitely will become an officer though, none of this enlisted stuff. I got a great roommate though that has been here and will listen to me whine a bit about different things. It definitely helps a lot. I am sure I would go crazy without him listening.
The temperature is warming up nicely. Honestly, I could be in Texas or Arizona though. Its hot and dry. So, I like that compared to cold. I just don't enjoy walking everywhere in a long sleeve shirt and pants. I get over it though cause all the stuff I need to do is pretty close. I also do a lot at night which makes it pretty cool outside. Hopefully though at the end of this deployment I will have a good chunk of loans, debts and other bills gone. I think that will be great and have a good chunk of change in the bank will be good as well. That financial stability will take a lot of stress out of my life. Anyway, all and all I guess I got lucky being in an aviation unit. It's pretty sweet to see Blackhawks, and all the other helicopters that are around. That is way exciting.
