Lift weights, Run around, do pull-ups(not the diapers) lift some more.
Read books(Jennifer Fallon is rockin my world!)
Watch Shows. read more books.
Such is Iraq.


Now for some excitement. I got a SWEET looking burn on my neck from hot brass during a live fire exercise. It hurt like the dickens but that just makes the scar that much cooler.

I am down to 195lbs which is good and still dropping.

I am being put up on a meritorious board which is a HUGE deal. Normally the quotas for a board are taken up by the reservists but I have made a good impression on my CO and
Sgt Major so its me. This means that I could get promoted as early as September. Thats important because my score missed the cut off by 4 points this last month.
Meritorious promotions are sexier anyway!

Finally I was aproached by the Squadron Gunny and was asked if I would like to attend jump school. This is a school were you get to basically get to go skydiving. Three times!
I meet the standards as far as physical fitness and a problem free background.
This is also a big deal because normally there are so few spots for jump schools that they are reserved for grunts and other crazy Marine types. However my CO has some pull so he is trying to get some slots open for us when we get back to Denver.
Jump School would be AWESOME!!!

Anyways...I am trying to get some pictures up but my camera is being a big POS.

Thanks for the support and I am hoping to get some of your Moto Mail stuff here shortly.

Love ya all!!!

GOOD NIGHT NEVERLAND(and Iraq)!
