Back in the Saddle, Again

Ok, so I couldn't access my blog down in Camp Bullis, TX. Sorry.... Oh well! I got back to Ft. McCoy yesterday morning. I am thankful for the lack of humidity here, although the temperatures are much cooler and it'll take some getting used to! So we're officially mobilizing now and my countdown has begun!! I believe I am at 390 days or so! Hahaha... I know its ridiculous!
Not much is going on here for me to talk about. I miss everyone and I can't wait for my (possible) 5 day pass at the end of August.
Some bad news.... My new camera is malfunctioning and I have to send it to a Casio repair shop in New Jersey. Boo! Hopefully they'll return it to me in a timely fashion--Yay!
Otherwise, I am staying optimistic and keeping everything light. There are a lot of people out here breeding negativity and I'm determined to be their counter-balance! Anyhow, not much to say (like I said) hahaha.
Any questions? The forum has officially opened.

Leaving on a Jet Plane.....

So we leave tonight for San Antonio. We leave super late at night and that makes us all a bit irritable. We will be spending close to three weeks down in balmy Camp Bullis. From what I've heard from the first group that went down there, it isn't a great place to be. I've seen pictures of scorpions and vultures. I can't wait! (sarcasm)
Besides that, I am just hanging out here, biding my time. I have to get back to the barracks and pack soon. Boo!! I watched 'Cold Mountain' last night. I cried like a baby. Partly, because it was a super sad movie, but also because I've been feeling emotional the last day or two. All these old buried emotions are surfacing and causing me stress. I don't like it. Nope. Sure don't. The bad thing is that its not even my fault! Some people can be so insensitive!
Anyhow... I will write more when I'm down in Texas. I will write about our adventures. Perhaps I can get a pic of me and my new buddy, the vulure.
