¡Success!

After different websites and coming up with the same thing, I finally got a cable on it's way, I'll have in a week-ish.

Power cords for the WIN!

Dooms Day

My computer's power cable has been torn, I need a new one, so I may be off line and out of touch for a few days at a time.

I went to the apple store on line and found an adapter....for 80 bucks, but Apple does not send directly to an APO or FPO, directly. So, it looks like I am out of luck, unless they have an adapter at one of the other bases. Looks like I'll be off longer than I thought.

PFT tomorrow, wish me luck.

Iwo Jima

My sponsor, the Marine that kind of put Day and I in the swing of things. She got the opportunity to go to Iwo Jima. She got back sometime today, and during our motivating field day, she came up to me and asked for Day. Day's on duty, and she said she had something for me. So I followed her out side, and she had this big bag of sand. At this point I had no clue where she had been. So she starts pouring me this small bag of sand. I didn't really know what it was, but the sand is black. She then told me about what she had done, and told me about how it's sand from Iwo Jima.

So I have a small bag of sand from the beach that was the sight of one of the bloodiest battles in Marine history. Kind of a big thing. I'll be sending it home, I don't want anything to happen to it.

This Sunday, she invited Day and I to some festival at some castle on the island, it should be a good time. If we go, I'll take pictures.

Nothing interesting has been going on.

Our Master Gunnery Sergeant (The Brig Supervisor who has probably been in longer than I have been alive) Complemented me and a buddy to my Sergeant on how well we were doing things.

I'm not going to be home for thanks giving or Christmas, but I'm going to try to make it home for my friends Wedding. But I'm 22 days in the hole with leave right now... So it's unlikely, but I'll give it a shot.

We haven't done much, just setting up our room and making it more like home. We got a George Forman Grill and a Microwave, so now it's more like a college dorm. So things could be worse.

Nothing new going on, but while walking from the PX (store) today, saw something cool going on in the field near the brig.
