So I finally got off my butt, and I got this blog made. My excuse is that I've been in hidding for national security reasons or I got kidnapped by the talban. Choose which ever one that makes your imagination run wild. It's been interesting being here. It is my second time over here and I'd have to say shame on me. But I'm gonna start from the begining and fill everyone in on my time here.
It all started in a little town of San Diego. A year ago I decided to volunteer again to come over here to the hell-hole. Reasons, there are many but mainly to get my life on track to what I want in the future. Ironically I know, go to war to get my life on track? Well in my mind it makes sense. I got in a little bit of debt while going to school, so coming here offers a good way to pay it off and save money. Plus there's great career advancement opertunities that is opened by coming here.
7 plus months after I had made the decision to come to the land of opertunity, I finally left. In the mean time I partied my ass off and ate all the wonderful food that I wouldn't experience for a year. Thank you to all my wonderful friends in San Diego for the good times and the fun memories.
I spent a week in San Diego to process into operation "Get Your Arse to War". It was mostly going through medical and making sure that you were fit for war. I being combat trained had no problem with that. I am a fine grade "A" quality combative specimen. Thank you. {At this point in the war I think they'll take anyone who is silly enough to sign up} . Then after that they sent me to Ft. Jackson South Carolina. That's were I got my Hooah! training. They made a solider out of me. At this point I'm going to leave you with the cliff hanger.......What went on at Ft. Jackson? How do they turn a Salior into a Soldier? And what does Hooah! really mean? Stay tuned and all your dire questions will be answered as the Desert Drama continues by yours truly.

Glad you're safe, we miss you here in OB!
I like the cliffhanger aspect. Keep that as a regular part. A story about a woman that goes to war to find herself would be a very compelling one. If you don't write it, I just might.
