"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm" - George Orwell
That quotes was actually used a few times during bootcamp as a motivator, not by our RDC's, but by our fellow shipmates. It reaffirmed the "one team, one fight" mentality that we are supposed to have here in the worlds finest Navy. I can tell you know, that isnt entierly the case. But, alot of us do. We all struggle with it from time to time, i know i do. Having that brotherhood is the only thing alot of my shipmates have. After being here a month or so ive gotten to learn peoples backgrounds and its really interesting why they are here. A lot of people were actually forced to join because of their parents. My parents never forced the Military on me at all and I thank them for that. The freedom to join if i wanted to played a huge role in me actually getting to this point. Alright, before this gets into a touchy feely thing ill just continue on....
So, hopefully this weekend ill finally get my phase two card. That means...
a) I can leave base
b) I can drive again
c) I can have a beer again
All of these things are like gold to me right now. i wanna go back home and see my friends and family and wander around the mean streets of Fort Walton Beach (lol). It cant come soon enough. im feeling very constrained on Corry Station. I need my freedom. Gotta go explore Pensacola to find out what ive been missing this whole time. Anyways...Laundry is done, so blogging is done. I promise ill put up something more interesting in the next few days. Dont worry, im working on it. Fair winds and Calm Seas
