Ran the 5K yesterday morning.  I took another minute off of my time. I also timed myself over 2 miles and I passed my PT 2 mile run with 19 minutes and change. So hopefully I’ll pass my PT test on Friday. Once I pass I will be able to work out how I want too. I’m hopefully going to be able to wear a pair of Daisy Dukes with a cut-off shirt and not be embarrassed. It’s for my husband. Don’t say that someone works harder than me! lol!

Home is getting ready for a move. I should have been doing that instead of cleaning all week but oh well. Not sure where we are moving either. I’m hoping that it will just come to us but I doubt it. I cannot wait till I go home and I can cook good food. Some of the food here is killing me. Sad thing is it’s getting better……See ya all later!!

I know it’s been awhile since I posted last. A lot has happened and I did go home for leave. I have come to a conclusion that I need to write a book about how horrible this deployment has been for me and my fellow soldiers. This have been verified by older NCO’s who have said by far this is their worst deployment ever. And they were getting mordered in Iraq for 18 months. For us soldiers where this is our first deployment it had left a bitter taste in our mouths such to the point that we either want to move to other units or move to another division like Air Force. My book will have my input along with countless others. But enough of this. I have to do some schoolwork.

So after a hectic 2 months I am now enrolled in school. So I got my books and my new Lappy today! It’s very shiny! The Education Office here needs to get their shit straight.  Freaking gave me a scare!!! So “Some” of school will be paid for. I’ve been in a funky mood for the past week. I’m not sure if I’m getting depressed or what. I think I wanna go home….

I have things to say. If you don’t like them then that’s fine. This is my opinion if you don’t like it then you don’t have to continue reading. also spoiler alert if you haven’t read the whole series. can’t say I didn’t warn you….

This list is not including family or friends. It’s about the thing you miss here that you might have taken for granted back home.

10. Being able to plug things into the walls without a converter.

9. Seeing Nature. Like birds, cicadas, grasshoppers, blue sky’s, green grass, trees, smelling flowers in the air, the ocean, smelling the salt water, thunderstorms, rain, and snow.

8. Missing the climate. It’s wicked hot here.

7. Totally different sleep schedule over here than back home.

6. Driving a car.

5. Having my own room.

4. My apartment with my queen size tempurpedic, 37 inch flat screen w/cable, and my computer/video games.

3. My Freedom

2. Running water/Indoor Plumbing. (You have to take combat showers as well as walk 20ft to use the toilet or showers.)

1. Cooking my own food. (I love cooking and I hate not being able to cook my own food.)

So I’m finally in country as well as having internet. Our footlockers finally came in. So I now have bulk hygiene products.  I’m usually on Skype after 6:00pm EST. A big thanks to everyone who sent me packages! I have yummy snacks and good movies. It’s almost like being at home! (minus the Husband and Child.) I now have a really wacky schedule so my sleep is getting a little messed up. Anyway the fam is on Skype so I’ll write later. ~Cilla

Of this place. Soon.

So today I had ammo detail for most of the day.

Nothing much has happened.
