You guys crack me up! I love reading the comments. People look at me when I am reading them because I am cracking up out loud. I have to try to stifle my chuckles. I'm glad I got to talk to my family the other day. It was nice to use minute for minute on my calling card instead of the usual 10 for 1. I had to walk all the way across base to get that luxury though. Oh well. Anyway, yesterday we were supposed to have washrack detail yet again. I told them that my dad said it was going to rain the next day while we were there and their comment was, "That's not what intel said." And I came back with, "What kind of intel do you think we have? My dad checked weatherchannel.com the only place you need to check!" and of course as usual, I was right. Thanks Dad! They are so dense around here sometime. Anyway, at washrack, they were so unorganized that we ended up standing outside in the rain from 7am-roughly1pm because they didn't have the trucks for us to wash, so they made some people go and get them. It was rediculous! We never did wash anything. I was certainly okay with that, but it messed up my whole schedule of doing nothing for the day. Heck, I didn't even get my morning nap in. Tomorrow night I start my guard shift. It isn't anything too dangerous; however, I will have live ammo on me. Em, I cracked up at the comment about the high lifeguard stand. I don't know exactly what to expect. I will try to get pics of me doing all my tasks at my new night job, but they won't come until the next week because we can't take pictures while our "trainers" are still there. I'm going to post some pics from the big rain we got yesterday and last night. Enjoy. Love you lots! -Mere
