Well Joel left for a week in the field yesterday and he will be gone till next week sometime... which you know should make me really sad and stuff but all I can be is jealous cause I know they do lots of boring stuff in the field but I also happen to know that they get to shoot really cool guns.... which is just not fair...
Couple days ago Joel told me that by the end of the trip he would prob be rank first or second in his class... which is really cool... except it does nothing more for us than bragging rights... but I am proud of him anyways and I stick my tongue out at the army.... I mean you would think that they would be trolling places like this looking for good leaders to put in the fleet... I mean force? unit? brigade? oh well I may not know the correct army term but I'm learning fast.... I've already converted some of my lingo like "base" to "post" although my brain still sometimes has to take a minute to translate things... the other day a woman asked me if I lived on or off post and it took me a couple seconds to realize what she was asking me... I could almost see my brain cells scrambling around the insides of my head looking for the "navy to army" translation dictionary.... but back to the main point... you would think that the army would have scouts at these bases looking for capable leaders... I know that the program evaluates their leadership skills and abilities... no for real they get evaluated from time to time and get a score... the army purposefully rotates these boys through a schedule of leading the unit so that they can evaluate their leadership skills.... but then what? give them a score and say "good job son"... there has got to be a better plan than that at work.... or not who knows....
By the way my blog should get more pictures and things soon because I bought myself a nice little camera.... Joel gave me money from our tax refund to get a really nice one... so I got online and started looking and after about an hour i gave up and called Erin.... lol she patiently took me through what I probably wanted and what to look for which was really cool of her... so fairly soon you should be seeing pics of my house and my town... and some of my newer projects... although I've been toying with the idea of starting up a "beadingmonkey" blog where I can exclusively put up my crafts and things... I'm just not sure how much I wanna mix my personal life with my "business life" so i'm thinking about separating the two... but that's at least another week or two off and there will be a post here once i've gotten up the courage to get it up....
