I woke up for work last night at 2200 hours. My buddies Sgt. Flores and SrA Sanchez came and woke me up since I’ve had problems getting up in time for work. I did my usual morning deal but rushed through flossing and rinsing my mouth with mouth wash because someone was taking a crap and it reeked!
I got to work at 2300 hours and worked out for about 25 minutes. I grabbed a roll to chew on while we had our beginning of shift briefing. I told everyone about the milkshakes but no one seems to be as excited as me. Who doesn’t love free milkshakes?! I’ll probably be telling people about it the whole trip and then telling even more people back home when I return.
Work was slow today. I still think its crazy that im doing all of the things that im doing out here. Back home it would have taken weeks for me to get out there on my own and do things comfortably; but here they cant afford to wait that long. I guess its part of the reason why I came here. I know that after this tour ill know all there is to know about the ramp services part of my job. The only part that im a little bit shaky on is the PAX section, but I’ll have a chance to get comfortable with that too.
We had a super long briefing that started at 0800 and lasted until about 1130. My new friend Sgt. Frink was bobbin’ back and forth from the first minute of it! Everyone kept telling me to wake her up but I was just watching and laughing.
By the time the briefing was over it was time for us to go home so we were happy. This was the slowest day of work that I’ve had since working here. Oh and one of the planes requested dirty fleet services during the shift. I thought it was like the other planes I’ve been doing.. thinking that all I had to do was plug in the hose, suck the stuff out and then be off. Oh no, this one had a honey bucket. It’s literally a bucket that the air crew pees in and that you have to take out with your hands and empty into a funnel on the Latrine Service Truck. Nasty nasty. Funny how they call it a honey bucket though.
I came back home and went out to eat with Sgt. Walker. I guess he just got married right before coming here, and he’s trying to go active duty. I don’t think that it’s a bad idea because the military does have a lot to offer. Reserves and Active Duty both have their ups and downs, it just depends on what your trying to do with your life.
I love Matt Curry for introducing me to the red hot chilis because I love listening to this stuff when I come back to my dorm. It relaxes me like nothing else;. I also picked up my laundry, dropped some more laundry off, went to the cyber café, and ran for twenty minutes. Now im only going to get about five hours of sleep but its all good because I took a nap for an hour after eating today. I like to wait for the cyber café to open before I start taking care of business out here. One of the guys here moved out so I got his corner that’s blocked off with sheets, has a whole bunk to itself, with two lockers (one that locks), and an electrical outlet! Oh YEAH!
