It is almost time to go

I'm ready, I can tell you that much. I can't wait to give my mom and Nana a hug and see the rest of the fam. I still haven't decided when I am going to leave. It all depends on what time I get off work tomorrow. I can't afford to stay in a hotel so I will either have to drive the 16 hours straight or stop somewhere and sleep in my car. I would feel much more comfortable sleeping in my car if I had a gun with me, but I have no gun or concealed hand gun license. I'll have to find a safe place to sleep. Maybe if I can make it to Shreveport I can sleep in a casino parking garage. Not looking forward to the drive, though.

It has been a while since I updated this blog, but that is because I have been in school as you all know. It was a miserable experience, but I did learn a few things I didn't know and brushed up my knowledge on the things I was already aware of. This experience has taught me a lot about the Navy in an idirect way. The people you work for and with can make or break your career. As I have preached before, the Navy and military in general is full of morons. There are the few exceptions and I am sure that with every job you are going to have bad apples, but this is just crazy. The people who have been promoted through the ranks are not necessarily the "leaders" that they are supposed to be. Also if they do attend a leadership course I am interested to know what kind of material they put out. One of the Chiefs (E-7) at the supply school I attended told me I have been cocky and rude and that perception is reality. First of all, I may have been cocky, but rude...nope. I have learned my lesson about holding my tongue and watching what I say so this statement is not true. Then, perception being reality...only an ignorant individual would believe a statement such as this. Perceptions can be deceiving. The eyes and ears are not always in tune with reality. When she (the Chief) told me that she learned this in leadership school I wanted to punch her in the mouth and ask her if she perceived that as reality. I was shocked at the insanity of this woman's intellect. As I always say...I am surrounded by idiots. But my point is that the people you work with can make or break your enjoyment of your time in the Navy or at any work place for that matter. Luckily for me I currently have supervisors who are friendly and knowledgeable in what they are doing. When I first checked in to this command I worked for idiots and assholes. It is a much better situation now.

Ok, now how hot is Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas!!

I am bored with this so I will probably write more later.
