A little Back-tracking and Updating

So to be fair, I have to start from the very beginning. I would say it all started in my recruiters office on Beach Blv in Huntington Beach. From there my frist place was Chicago. There isnt much to say about Chicago except I hated it because I almost died from the shock of the cold. (and they're mall sucked...No Abercrombie, No Hollister, and no Nordstroms.)

After my time great three weeks in Chicago I was sent to Pensacola, Florida. Where I loved it. I lived on land and had a great barracks room and a really good best friend. I wish I had started my blog there because I had a beautiful view of the beach (for those of you who remember Delta barracks it was the last one, right next to the water.) It was gorgeous! I had a lot of fun there going to bars/clubs and what not. Then I got my first set of orders to the USS George Washington, Norfolk VA.

That takes us up to about a year and eight months to date. This is where I met my best friend I could have ever had Miss Kaitlyn Mclellan. Her and I were in the same division, and she was the only "normal" (AKA shops at Abercrombie and hollister, doesnt enjoy video games, and likes to party) person since I joined. I moved in with her soon after I got to VA. We had a sweet little three bedroom townhouse in Littlecreek and I could go on and on about the millions and millions of incredible memories and storys from February 07 up until the night Randy and I got our last cab ride to the ship. :( I did actually cry. I had to put Paco the Purple Pathfinder in storage, and Randy drove home Malicai back to Michigan. During that time I met, not only my best friend, but the love of my life. On a seriously stormy night that totally set the tone, Randy and I got on the USS George Washington to head out for Japan... or so we thought. We completed a little bit of RIMPAC. We braved the fricken FREEZING weather of the Straights of Magellan.

We went to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and Valparaiso, Chili. I have millions of pictures of Rio and Chili, I think I'll make a photobucket link for them, but here are a few.

The Centro Del Christo (The Big Jesus)

Rio's Gorgeous Beach

Brazillian Soccer Jersey
We were only underway just shy of two months when on May 22 our ship caught on fire. Since no one got seriously injured I can say that I was stoked we were "stuck" in San Diego for the next three months. Now this I have pictures for because my macbook was nice enough not to erase my entire past.

Disneyland, Anaheim

San Diego Padres Game
Camping in San Elijo

Magic Mt.

Huntington Pier

There are a bunch more times, but I honestly dont think the pictures are even loading correctly and the internet on the ship is always super slow.


That brings everyone up to date. Since we left San Diego, California on August 21st nothing has happened. A few flight ops here and there, a math class and some business finance, but thats pretty much it. I'll start taking more pictures when we get to Japan. We are only going to be there five days then its off to Pusan, South Korea and Guam.
