| | Here it is, my first post of October. I have to tell you, saying October sounds so nice. Soon ill be saying November and then ill be saying 'Home.' Sucks though ill be missing one of my most favorite holidays: Halloween. Looks like i wont be able to dress up as a complete badass...aka: A Ninja. Thats my default costume thats gauranteed to be awesome. But next halloween ill have to spice things up a bit. Ive always wanted to dress up with Carl and Jordan and go as characters from Top Gun. Carl - Maverick, Jordan - Iceman, and Me - Goose. "Goose!? He dies and wasnt even a pilot!" Well, this may be true, but he was still a complete BAMF (Bad Ass Mother F*cker). It also doesnt help that i resemble him the most out of any of the other Top Gunners. This plan would actually be easy to pull off. Just go to a Army Navy store and get a flight jacket, some HUGE aviator sunglasses, hair gel, and some bubble gum. But, looks like ill have to keep that idea for another halloween, as i wont be attending this one.
Its hard to believe ive been away from home for 16 months. Im getting to the end of the road! Of course, leave it to some officer to ruin my excitment. The other day i went to breakfast by myself. A Captain, that ive never met before, sat with me and we began having a small talk session. We talked about the usual things like home, what our job was, and all that fun stuff. During the end of the convo i mentioned how i was looking forward to going home which he then asked me how much longer i had in the Army. "3 1/2 years," I replied. He gave a pretty hefty laugh and then stated, "Well dont get too comfortable at home, youll probably be back over here within a couple years, thats assured" WTF sir! Dont rain on my parade! Talk about a real swift kick in the nutsack. The worst thing about it was the fact that he is with some intelligence company and he would know something like that. I wonder if that made him feel better. I hope so, because he definitely took my energy and put it somewhere.
