I have been very busy and lacking on the blog posts. Well brief update on me... I am going to the E-5 board within the next couple of weeks. I am going back out to the field around the middle of Sept. We have NTC coming up. We are deploying sometime between Feb - Sept of next year.

Kyle starts school in a couple of days, 3rd grade. He is getting so big. I am trying to get him in shape to be the man of the house when I am gone so I am hard on him. He seems to handle it well.

Rebecca is going to be 3 in about a week. She is such a trip. She is becoming a daddy's girl. That is bitter-sweet It is nice to feel the love but I know it is all going to go away and I will have to start over when I get back. A year is such a long time especially when you are 3.

Dawn is doing good. She is still the one that keeps everything flowing in the house. She keeps everyone in line and gets shit done. I would not be here if I did not have her.

OK I am done and going to bed.

It has been a while... A long while.
We are all just waiting for block leave so we can go see everyone in Jersey and Florida. Should be in June or July.

I just finished Javelin training. I am waiting to be promoted to SPC, should be soon.

Nothing much has been going on other then that.

Chuck Liddell was at the PX today and we got a chance to meet him. He signed 2 books and a UFC glove for us.

A few weeks ago I bought a Tattoo Gun. I have been practicing on myself. Some may think this is not a good idea, but I don't give a fuck.

Here is my work space.


I got bored one night and wanted to see if I can do a piece that looks scratched in.


This one was not a good idea, I did it right before I went to the field. It ended up getting infected and all scratched up. Oh well.


I just did these 2 tonight. I had someone ask if I could do them so I decided to try it out on myself.

I am going on another deployment. This time I will be gone for about 10 days.
It has been a nice 4 days off.

It is a new year, a new town.
All I have to say is Seattle is nothing like New York.
It is kind of a letdown.
