Well, today is the big day. I am headed off to Iraq some time today (won’t say when due to opsec). Just like when I was in the Marines, this will only be a six month long deployment but it is the first deployment I will have away from my kids. So for the rest [...]

We finally made it to Fort Stewart, GA. Tomorrow I am going to check into my unit and we will be getting our new house. I can't wait. I especially can't wait to hit up the gym. I am missing those weights.

Google Docs New Features Review

Adam — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:14:30 +0000

I know there are plenty of other free online document editors that have far exceeded the features of Google docs, which is unfortunate for Google. Docs seems to be one of the flagship products and if they really want it to be top of the line, they really should speed up development on it.

New Barracks

Over the weekend, we moved from our old barracks into some new ones. They are much nicer than the others, but it’s a good distance from anything of value like the PX and the food court. We have a nicer mess hall over here, and we are right across the street from a gym, the [...]

I have had the old wool pulled over the eyes. Although the instructors and the command knew well in advance of what my order said, and knew exactly that I would need extra training to be qualified for the unit I am going to, they kept that information from me and several others until just 6 days before graduating.

Just an update

Hello, I know its been a while since I have posted anything. Been really busy with training. Good thing is, I only have a few weeks left here in Oklahoma, then can go back home to my beautiful wife and children. I really miss my family and can’t wait to be home with them. They [...]
