    New Entry

    I don’t really have anything to write about.  I am still in class for a few more days here.  Still up late into the morning because of night school.  I am mostly writing this entry to test out Microsoft’s New Live Writer.  I can now write the blogs from anywhere on my laptop and upload them later when I have time.  We shall see how it works.   New Pic:

    Nightime and the Tent's Darkness

    Well just thought I would jot some things down real quick while I have the time.  The gaps of time in between class are a real killer.  Not much to do except play around on this computer.  Today we gave our country briefs for class.  I was terrible.  My slides were excellent and I knew my note cards by heart, but as always I cannot get up in front of people.  My heart was pounding and I got really warm.  Before I knew it I was done, and then I sat down, wondering what all the fuss was about.  I didn't feel an ounce of nervousness until I got up there and turned around.  Oh well, someday I will be better at the whole getting up in front of people thing.  Reminds me when I played guitar in bands in high school, and I always had to face away from the crowd because otherwise I was too nervous to play.  Ahhh...i could have been famous I think.  Well anyways I am going to midnight chow.  Later.

    BNCOC in Iraq

    SO I am at Camp speicher right now.  I am here attending phase I of the ARMY's Basic Non Commissioned Officer Course.  Got to fly here in a blackhawk, which is always a bonus.  The course will be two weeks long, and teaches you about leadership principles and standards.  I hope to learn a lot.  Should be going to the promotion board again soon for Staff Sergeant.  Hoping to add that rocker!  Anyway, this deployment differs so much from my last.  I am much busier this time around and Iraq has definately changed for the better.  Things here are much better and safer in fact.  I don't have a whole lot of pictures to post yet, but I will try to take some and upload them soon.  I hope everyone back home is doing well and please check back, as I will be updating this blog more frequently again, as people have been asking me what is going on with it.
