That is my mission for right now. I got so many things floating around in my head I can’t even think straight. What I want to do, where I want to go. Things of that nature. For some reason I think I’m running out of time but I have all the time in the world, believe it or not. I just need to focus on one thing and go from there.
Stay tuned

Carry on 
That’s what it seems like here. The days all drag on the same. There is always work to be done being in a “war zone” so a typical work day, 0700-1630, is not feasible. I generally come in around 8 and leave work around 8 or 9. Now I am not chained to my desk the whole time. You can take breaks during the day, go eat, take care of laundry, PT, things like that. I guess their thinking is to keep people from being bored in their rooms and doing something stupid. “A bored Marine is a dangerous Marine”. Hell, that’s with anyone.
Now Sundays for certain work areas you can come in later. It’s the one day people look forward to. Sleep in, or stay up late Saturday watch movies or playing poker
Once my entire unit gets in and the old one is gone and we establish our work tempo things should even out.
Now people have been asking what they can send me. Well, besides cookies, I could use 4×6 pictures to hang at my desk and in my room. Tasteful shots (did I just say that?). Crystal Light or some other drink packs to put in the bottled water. We have a table in our building that people put the extra stuff they got in a care package for other Marines to have. We have enough books to start our own library 
So for right now I don’t see us needing too much right now. People still have stuff they came in country with, so when a need or request comes up I’ll be sure to put it out there. If you need to know anything specific email me at defiantusmc[AT]gmail.com
Mikey…out
Visited where I’ll be working and it’s not a bad setup. We got a TV in there where we can watch the news and sports. The geek in me is happy I get to sit in front of a 21 inch monitor. The little things…
Our work hours are from 0800-2130. Now before you all freak out that is not really a bad thing. Ain’t too much to do here in a sense of getting off a 5 pm, going home and chilling out. Not like I’ll be working the whole time anyway. We have a gym in our building plus I like the people I work with so it’s not a big deal. It could be worse. I could be doing patrols 
Sundays are half days. You don’t have to be in till noon so that is the one day everyone looks forward to so they can sleep in.
Enough for now. Y’all be good.
Mikey…out!
Well, it’s a new year and in a few weeks I will be on the other side of the world. The countdown to Iraq truly begins. Stay tuned..more to come…I promise this time
Maybe a year away will do me some good…
Like your favorite pair of Chuck’s and 6 year old pair of Tommy Jean’s that are broken in and have the nice fray on the cuffs.
In a world of uncertainty it’s the simple things that keep you grounded.
