It’s been awhile..

We had a water shortage not too long ago. There was NO running water, so we had to take water bottle showers. The water bottles are pretty big so it only takes about two of them to wash yourself completely. About showers…

So the roomie who doesn’t like girly magazines..

Clean Roomie – Hey man, I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything, but when’s the last time you showered bro?

Girl Mag Hater Roomie –Ohh man.. its been about a week I think.

Clean Roomie – Well, is it because you don’t like being in there with other dudes? I mean, they have curtains.

Girl Mag Hater Roomie – Nah man, I just been tired and haven’t had time.

Clean Roomie – Alright bro, well theres something called FUNK, and your bringing it into this room!

Girl Mag Hater Roomie – my bad man.. ill go take a shower.

The Girl Mag Hater came back a few minutes later to tell my clean roomie that there was no water pressure.

Clean Roomie – How many water bottles do you have?

Girl Mag Hater Roomie – I got a few.

Clean Roomie – shower up baby.


Man good thing my other roomie told that guy to shower.. I had no idea.

Dust still fills the air every couple of days. We pass time with prank, brief dance parties, working out, and games of 21 in basketball.

My routine is pretty set now. We usually go to the pool twice a week, no more than three times assuming the weather is favorable. We don’t go on weekends because its super packed over there and we can’t even get a group of chairs together.

If we don’t go to the pool we grapple/box/workout at the gym. We go to the chow hall almost every day. I think I’ve had one milkshake in the last two weeks. Good milk is hard to come by over here. We have this stuff called SUT that’s kind of like soy milk, but not. It can get super warm without going bad. APPRECIATE all that GOOD MILK.

We had a BBQ a couple days ago. It was good times. The Guam/Hawaii guys were cooking all the goods so they had island music playing out there. The menu included ribs, chicken (a lot better than the chicken we get from the chow hall), and some smaller asian/Hawaiian stuff. We were going to have spam musubi as well but Uncle Louie said there was already too much food.

Uncle Louie is an old timer (56) who fought in Vietnam. All the islander folk call him Uncle Louie, along with myself. I guess we were raised differently, because all the other guys don’t listen to him as much, and they don’t call him Uncle Louie either. Uncle Louie is a good guy. He is constantly shouting out orders like a parent or grandparents. HEY! LET”S GO! Hey! EMPTY THE TRASH! HEY! GO HELP OUT!

AP graudated from SEAL training and is now an official SEAL! Congrats brother. What a HUGE accomplishment. Your strength, discipline, and determination is definitely admired and envied by us all.

Hahaha Frinky is getting mad at Uncle Louie because he’s blasting Mike Jackson jams right now.

I saw that the Lakers blew the championship. Lakers blow.

I was dreaming that I was getting together with some friends to go eat at chipotle, but the dream ended before I got there. I’m pissed. I bet that chipotle would’ve tasted delicious in my dream.

Alrighty folks.
