On the first, one my best friends and former paratrooper gave me my first wings, from his original stash (pic will follow). I’m to get my blood wins upon my graduation of jump school. Pretty cool I think. This was my first Valentine’s day where I was single in about 5 years. It’s was crummy because of things I ended up Valentine-less, but on the other hand I had quite the night. Went out with my friends and had a few beers. Ended up really enjoying myself. On second thought I actually did get to see her! We hung out a bit, went to Target and then sat in her five way and talked for almost an hour. I miss that. In all probability I always will. And I suppose on that emo note I will end this post. I’ll try and get on here more often. Also 126 days until I ship to Benning since its technically the 18th, or 4 months 6 days.
Will do. I’ve come far in a few short months. I’m about to push harder and go farther. Although I wish I could have you by my side during this crazy adventure I’m about to get into. I understand your apprehensions and I don’t blame you. I’ll go it alone. Maybe I’ll be better for it. I don’t think I’m better than anyone nor am i very cocky, but I think I’m worth the wait. At least I hope to prove I was/am. I never forgot that I managed to keep my friend, for that I AM grateful. At the very least I know where it all stands. I don’t know if I’m sad or relieved.It’s more of a relief knowing and no longer guessing. 150 days left until Benning.
