Duty is like Paris Hilton

You act like you hate it, but deep down (very very deep) you like it... but its hard/embarrassing to tell people. If you say you like duty people would look at you like you completely lost your mind. Because no one wants to be stuck in a big metal box when you can go out and have fun. But let me tell you I have been going out and having my fair share (and everyone Else's shares) of fun and I'm a wee bit tired! Duty days force you to slow down very fast. It gives you time to do the things that you're always putting off. Like doing your laundry or taking that long shower, or cleaning out your rack. Duty seriously sucks because you know that your boyfriend is out at the bar playing beer pong/making Friends with your ex and you cant be there to witness it all:) But its okay. Because there is NOTHING you can do about it.
They scan your ID so they know what time you leave the base, and what time you came back. They also know if that day is your duty day and they'll get you! So I had a pretty dreary duty day. I woke up super early because I was worried about my purse and I stayed up till 1030 that night. It was an attempt to wait up for Randy to come home and say hi. It's always super funny to see everyone come home. My berthing is right on the way to the V-1 and V-0 office and every person has to walk by my P-way to sign in...so I get to see all the "drunkies" attempt to make it up the stairs! Its like better than Mario cart...or watching the hills! I'm going to buy a new camera and just record that stuff.
So I already have my new ID!! :) How did I pull that one off? I DON'T KNOW, I guess I can just make friends easily. For those of you who aren't in the military; when one looses their military ID that's like loosing your soul! That thing has EVERYTHING on it (full social and theres personal info in the chip) it usually takes about a week to get a new ID. You have to route a special request chit (a piece of paper saying you lost it and about 5 really hard to find people have to sign it saying they think your worthy of getting a new ID.) Also you can't go looking for the people, when they get around to it they will. I'm just a wee airman and let me tell you, I'm very low on the "importance" list. But I have a big mouth and by 7 am the next day EVERYONE knew that I lost my purse. I sent out a chain email to about 50 people, including my two chiefs and some other important people. Made my way down to personnel and nagged them about ID's, apparently they only had 20 left for the entire ship and those things go like hot cakes!
I'M PROUD OF MY SELF. high five Sam!
Now to get a new liberty card. This could be a little harder. So I'm going to ninja my way into my senior and Master chief of Air Department's minds. I am going to wear a class "responsible" dress and cry a lot! Whatever it takes right, I mean I was suppose to go see the Big Buddha today! :(

Come 7am for work we'll find out. I'll keep you posted! <3 huge hugs and lots of kisses. I miss you mommy, and dad I'm sorry for calling you so late. I must have counted backwards wrong. I didn't mean to wake you up. <3
