Yay! I am officially home, I just gotta go run out and buy me a new HD and do the fun install/patch process and hopefully after family time I'll be on tonight! It was a job in itself conjuring some orders from the Major to leave... But the Marine Corps. is the Marine Corps. even during it's silly moments.... Hah. There is a reason why I am the "Grand Ol Man of Holding Platoon." I officially do not have an MOS! Yay! Now they don't know what to do with me haha! I just hope they summon back to Infantry! I'll be happy!

ROFL! Well first off the SAW WAS a blast to shoot, then after 13 degree weather and my hand hurting every time I pulled the charging handle I began to want to cast fire spells and melt the POS. After 3 or 4 jams and me being a stupid Private, I began to have fun... But a couple hundred rounds from the brand new 240 Bravo really out smoked the SAW. (They are getting rid of the SAW in the Marine Corps. in a few months. :P)

Oh the chow is friggin sweet! I have been known to hang out in the Chow Hall longer than usual and ever since boots, chow just got better and better. I eat like a king in the morning. Ham, Cheese, Jalepeno, Tomato omelette, French toast, Cocoa Puffs (Moto Puffs) and a can of Monster! Wednesday is Taco Day (My favorite, OORAH!)

But my favorite memory from CourtHouse Bay was the day we proved Private is the greatest rank...

Me and my three pals were ordered to set up the Combat Fitness Test down at the field. For some reason it was mighty hot outside and we weren't exactly sure what to do. Well, our Sergeant was like "All right, **** go to the Fitness Center, go get me 21 **** cones and get back here **** ASAP."

Well as Privates, we heard "All right, take your time walking around, have a smoke or two, then go to the place that has strong people and go buy smoothies."

So we hiked out to the gym and we split up to find these cones. I, as the leader, told everyone to regroup outside in twenty. I took a nap. Two of the guys came back with smoothies, and we lost the other one. After discussing our failure in our mission we decided it's best we all get smoothies and get one for the Sergeant. This happened when we got back:

"What the ****, where the **** were you ****?"

"We got the smoothies, here Sergeant!"

*Slaps the smoothies on the ground* "What the **** Marines..." "Get me my damn cones."

*We walk away* "He wanted cherry, not strawberry banana."

Family time, hope to play with yall tonight, don't hurt me too much!!
