Mornings

By John, on January 24th, 2011

Not all of us are morning people. Morning people are those who wake up and all is right with the world. The rest of us need a catalyst to make our day move along smoothly. Jessica is a huge fan of coffee while I need a hot shower to get me going. It doesn’t [...]

Quick update

By John, on December 16th, 2010

With the holidays fast approaching I’ve got a glut of information to go through before I leave for the break. We’re going to have classes and assignments through the weekend until the early part of next week. After that, I’m going to sit around and wait to leave. We’re doing a cross-country Christmas this [...]

Two weeks down

By John, on September 3rd, 2010

We had another block test and I passed without issue (again). I did miss one question and it pisses me off because I second guessed myself. Damn.

Earlier this week I had to yell at an airman for disrespect. He thought we were peers. He was mistaken. He can’t speak to me however [...]

One week down

By John, on August 28th, 2010

Training will no longer be an annual requirement. For me it will be something that I live and breathe. My old career field spends a lot of time on simple tasks that we do ad nauseum. The Loadmaster career field demands that each member be fully trained and qualified (current and qualified) on all [...]

I felt lightheaded and confused but I knew that it was fantastic

By John, on August 22nd, 2010

After the first bite the left side of my face started to feel numb. After a few seconds I couldn’t control it and I began to drool. Undeterred I continued without regard to my health and well being. I thought I could hear the sound of angels and I approached the light.

Routine

By John, on January 31st, 2010

We all have routines that guide us through our day. My routine at home is far different from the one that I have when I deploy. My routine on the weekend is far different than what I have on weekdays. One constant always remains regardless of the situation – I attempt to adhere to [...]

So many things – so little time

By John, on July 7th, 2009

Jessica and I are constantly rearranging our schedules. Each week we find that more and more things are pushed to the wayside as we try to fit everything in. Our latest casualty might be going camping this year. I don’t think we have a free weekend available until Labor Day and I’m not even [...]

I should be doing something more important

By John, on June 27th, 2009

It’s a struggle to stay occupied on the weekends when the rest of the time zone is sleeping. I have a few things that I would like to do but I need the freedom to make as much noise as I want and I really need the warming glow of the sun above me. [...]

I’m not avoiding this

By John, on March 27th, 2009

I haven’t been actively avoiding updates but it feels like I have.

The last few weeks have been quite busy and we’ve found ourselves celebrating National Corn Dog Day, running 63 flights of stairs for lukemia, and celebrating St. Patricks day with a few libations. I’ve got a golf tournament to run in about [...]

We’re trapped – sorta

By John, on January 8th, 2009

All of the mountain passes to the east are closed due to avalanches. All of the highways to the south are flooded. We’ve had constant rain for the past few days and almost everything is flooded. The ground is completely saturated and there is nowhere for the water to go. Its odd – the [...]
