Days 12, 13 and 14...

Friday.
Today I woke up and had to wash my uniforms. So, I went to the fast internet hotel and did my laundry for free and played online for a while. After that I went back to my room, showered, and I went and rented a couple movies from Red Box. Quantum of Solace and Max Payne. Both were okay in my eyes, Max Payne was probably my favorite out of the two. I ate at some Mexican Restaurant that was Mediocre at best and that was my Friday. Very Uneventful. but that is okay.

Saturday.
First thing I did was returned my dvds, called the guys and we met up around 1:00 and went to eat lunch at Beef O Bradys. I had a Mushroom swiss cheeseburger and it was pretty good, after that we went to see "Drag me to Hell" It was also pretty good.. I like the idea of the movie, but it could have had better actors for the parts and maybe better dialogue, Justin Long is not somebody you want in a horror movie, he is funny and if Will Ferrell was in a horror movie I wouldn't be scared at all, i'd be laughing the whole time. anyways, I still enjoyed the movie. After that, we went to the mall because of the kids wanted to buy some cigars from a smoke shop, and we walked around there for about 10 minutes before we decided we were bored out of our minds. We then went to a golf shop and barnes and nobles because they were right next door to eachother and one of the kids bought about 8 books to keep him busy the rest of our time here, he can read a 500 page book in a day if he wants... THEN.. I took everyone back to there hotels and I went to Ruby Tuesdays by myself and had a delicious shrimp pasta and talked with my server for a while, she is married to an air force guy and moving to Germany in a few weeks, she was cool and nice. After my dinner, I went back to my hotel, watched a movie and fell asleep pretty shortly after.

Sunday.
Today is just beginning but I already have this day mapped out. It started with a shower, I am now at the fast internet hotel doing the rest of my Laundry and will go grab Lunch right after this and also see if I can find dvd copies of "Arrested Development", I have seen the first few episodes and I decided it's time I got myself hooked on this show., After the lunch and dvd search, I will go to my hotel and probably read for a while and watch tv and this should take me into the evening, once it is the evening, I will go to dinner somewhere, probably Waffle House since it is close and convenient to get to. AND THEN.. I will watch the Mtv Movie Awards. Andy Samberg is hosting this year and he is a funny guy. So, we'll see how those are.. I will then try and be in bed by 10 at the latest and be up nice and early for class!!! Awesome stuff.

Anyways, I hope everyone is good.

Day 11 has come.

Thursday.
Started out in class reading some power points, that was over within an hour and then we got into troubleshooting. Our teacher went and put problems into the equipment and we had to use the T.O's and our own intelligence to figure out what was going on. It made the day go by really quick and it was fun. So, we did that until 2:30. Our instructor had to be to a meeting at 3 (normal get out of school time) so he let us go early, we all decided we wanted to skip the mandatory PT and just went back to our rooms. but, we were not there for long, we all showered, I went and picked everyone up then we went to Barnes and Noble to look at books for a bit, then we went and saw star trek right after that. I had already seen the movie, but I liked it a lot so I didn't mind seeing it again. After star trek we went to TGI Fridays and that was pretty delicious. Then we couldn't figure out anything else to do, so I took everyone back to there rooms and I went back to mine and I started watching TV because the internet was broke in my hotel (it breaks often, it's annoying and stupid) I realized I was super tired and fell asleep. And that was Thursday.. What an exciting awesome super cool day to the max!!!
I think we are going to try and get to a dueling piano bar sometime this weekend and we are also going to see drag me to hell sometime this weekend. We'll see how it all plays out.
Bye Everybody.

Bug Bites..

I swear I have about 30+ bug bites on my legs. I have been wearing shorts and i've been outside too much I guess.. Either way, it's itch'taffic. and I don't like it.
So, Guess what. I am not going to wear shorts outside anymore!! I am a thinker, yeah?

Anyways, Just wanted to do this quick update.

The weekend starts after class today!!!

Let's talk about 9 and 10 this time...

Tuesday.
Like any other normal class day, I effing woke up. Got ready and picked up the other dudes at 5:25, ate some breakfast and started class at 6.
Class was good today. We went over System Administrator stuff for the equipment, basically stuff that was really easy, but it sure was time consuming, it lasted almost the entire day and a little into Wednesday. SO, class was a good one. After class I took the other two guys who are staying off base to a hotel on base that has free washers and dryers, and in the mean time we went to another hotel and used fast free internet and chilled. .
After all that, I went and got some dinner with my old buddy from 2 years ago. It was cool to catch up with him on life for the last 2 years and talk about the funny crap that we used to do in class two years ago.. We went to some place called Beef O Bradys and it was pretty delicious. After that, Went back to the hotel and fell asleep watching "The Office"

Wednesday.
Same start as all class days. Started class going over homework and then we went and did some more of the administrator tasks. That lasted until lunch time and after lunch we just went over power point slides and looked at diagrams out of the T.O's . After class we had PT. the mandatory exercise here is pretty ridiculous. We did 20 second intervals, basically, 20 seconds of pushups, then situps, then squats, then diamond pushups, then crunches and so on and so forth for about 20 minutes or so. Then after that we ran up and down stairs for 15 minutes straight. I don't feel any more "fit" or anything.
Anyways, it was very hot today and super humid. After all the exercising, I went to subway, got tuna fish flat bread sandwich, and now I am just in my room watching that 70's show waiting for my body to get tired. Hope everyone is awesome.
Bye!

The Seventh and Eighth day.

Sunday.
Sunday was a good day. I slept in, relaxed the morning away. I two movies from Red Box that I went and returned and then got 2 more movies. So I married an Axe Murderer and Blades of Glory. I also got some more food from Walmart for my room and got a Hair Cut at Walmart as well. I was surprised at how good my hair cut was too. She did better then Any Super Cuts and/or Great Clips back home.. After that, I am pretty sure I came back to my room and took a nap, I had no reason to be tired, but I was really bored and a nap just sounded awesome and great. After that I grabbed some dinner at the local Waffle House and came back to my room and watched my movies and got to bed.

Monday.
I relaxed the crap out of this morning. Then I got unlazy and showered and went to Barnes and Noble to read and just chill for a while. I almost went to a movie, but I decided against it, I need to slow down on the movies or I'll have nothing to do because i'll have seen everything. After that I returned my redbox movies and came back to my room and just watched tv while chatting on facebook. Star Wars was on, so, I watched that. About 3/4s into it, I decided I was hungry so I drove around and the best food I could find was Subway. SO.. i got some subway and it was delicious. ALSO. I forgot this part until just now. I found out that I know somebody who lives here, He was in my class from last time I was here and his mom lives here and he lived in Arizona and was thinking about moving back, so, I text messaged him and he moved back last year, so, Now I have somebody to chill with and help pass the time. Should be awesome. Anyways, that is my Monday. Only 3 days of class this week, it's a 3 day weekend. We get every other Friday off here. Anyways. Bye.

Day 5 & 6 :D

Friday. What a good day. We had class and went through a lot of stuff on the equipment that I didn't know previously, so that is good stuff. And since it was Friday, we didn't have PT after class and our teacher even let us go about 30 minutes early (which was awesome of him) I went back to my hotel and took a two hour nap and then woke up and showered and made a PB&J sandwich and went and saw the movie "Dance Flick" It wasn't that great, I don't know why I keep seeing this crappy spoof movies, they have gone down hill ever since scary movie 2.. Anyways, After that I called my good friend Andrea and talked to her for a bit and talked to her little sister to try and cheer her up, which hopefully I did..?? BUT, after that I went and played a little black jack at the local casino and won 100 dollars pretty quickly, the table got crowded so I went to a different table and lost that 100 dollars. So, I went back to my room and watched TV until I fell asleep.

SATURDAY!!
Today was awesome since I slept in. I woke up around 9 or 10 and just kinda laid in bed not sleeping or even thinking, just laying and relaxing, it was a good time.. Once I did finally get up I went to walmart and got some q-tips so I can keep the ear wax out of my ears and also bought a movie and some fruit loops and more easy mac.. I then went to best buy to see if they had mobile broadband internet (AT&T or Verizon internet for laptops) They did and it's kinda expensive and I wouldn't need it after Mississippi. So, I took off and went and picked up the guys in my class and we went to the mall to get some lunch and then we went and saw "Terminator: Salvation" and it was a pretty good movie, they kinda complained about it, but I still enjoyed it, But I enjoy most movies I see. After that I dropped everyone and off and went to the base theater to see what time they play movies and what movies were playing this weekend (they play older movies for some reason) The only movie worth seeing played at 2:00 pm today and it was about 5 when I was there, the next movie "Knowing" started at 6:30 and I did not want to go see that because I already saw it once. SO.. I left base and came back to my room and here I am. It is currently 6:48 PM Local Time and I am going to see "A Night at the Museum 2" at 7:30.. Hopefully it's good, and then maybe i'll come back here and watch tv until I go to bed. But, that is my life and weekend so far. Hope everybody is doing super duper, well I hope the one person who probably reads this is doing super duper.. haha!!

Day 4 is a good one.

So, Like always, I was up at 4:30 and to my ride at 5:10 and to our Chow Hall at about 5:25 AM..
Class was good, we did some troubleshooting in the equipment, the instructors put faulty circuit cards in and hooked up bad cables and we had to figure the problems out by using the T.O. which was explained in my last post. Then we learned a little bit more and did some stuff on the computers in the equipment. After class, ran 20 minutes and was the quickest runner, some guy kept up with me and told me good job after, I told him it was because I came from Utah and running at sea level is definitely easier.
BUT.. Today I got some awesome news, My boss back home, Major Mcguire, was able to get me approved for a Rental Car, and I went and picked it up after class. I now have transportation. So, I drove around a bit and found some hole in the wall bbq place and assumed it would be good.. BOY WAS I WRONG... It was terrible. I threw 3/4's of it away.
I am now half way into watching the Colbert Report, and this weekend should be filled with a few movies and possibly some Black Jack at some local casino. We'll see how it goes. Anyways everybody. Have fun! and stay awesome.

Day 3 here in this place.

So, I am working on getting a rental car. One of my supervisors at home is doing all he can so I can start driving places such as Food places.. So, hopefully that works out for me.
Anyways, today started off at 4:30 AM, I caught my ride at 5:10 AM and went to eat at the chow hall. Got to class at 6 and we just went over homework and opened up the T.O's on the equipment (T.O. is like a manual that is about 18 books long and about 800 pages in each book) SO, we went through the T.O's learning stuff and did some more homework and that was basically my whole day at school.
After school I had Mandatory P.T. (Physical Training) We had to run 6 laps around the track and in between each lap we did 20 push ups and 25 crunches. It was pretty tiring after about the 3rd lap, but I was in the Fast group and was always the fastest runner (mostly because I was only running with older guys) haha. Anyways, Tonight has been full of Easy Mac and a PB & J and more episodes of scrubs so far. I will hopefully be asleep within an hour and get like 10 hours of sleep tonight. Anyways. Hope everybody is good at home. Send me text messages or facebook messages, pretty much anything, I need contact with everyone!!

Days 1 and 2 in Mississippi.

Hey Everyone. I decided to keep a blog of my 6 weeks in Mississippi. It may be boring but, Either way. It will be cool.

So, First day. I flew out of SLC at 8:20 AM, arrived in Dallas around 12:30 local time and sat around until 3:15 and then got on my plane that was about 30 minutes late by now.. Then we sat on the runway still connected to the terminal for about 45 more minutes and then finally flew off.. I arrived in Mississippi around 5:30 PM and took a cab to Keesler Air Force Base.. Cost me about 45 bucks and by me, I mean it cost the military 45 bucks because I don't pay for that kinda stuff :) :) I am pretty sure the lady was taking weird turns and took me down side roads to make my bill higher, I don't know though? Anyways.. Got to my base, went into the onbase lodging and found out they were full, they called me a cab to go stay at the Luxurious Super 8 Motel in D'Ibberville, MS. Before the cab was able to pick me up a Retired General came and offered me a ride, So I said yes and he drove me to my room. He was a very nice old man and him and his wife kept me entertained on the 10 minute drive.
I checked into my room for 6 weeks and went in and unpacked, showered and then went to eat a Waffle House, they have these "Waffle Houses" all over Mississippi, comparable to how many LDS church houses are in Utah.. They are EVERYWHERE. I walked around a bit more and found a pawn shop and a liquor store, that is all there is around my hotel.. BUT, I just barely found out that the huge movie theaters in this town are 2.5 miles away by foot, so I will walk there this weekend to see some movies. I may also buy a cheap bike from Walmart so I can ride places rather then walk (saves time).. Back to the 1st day. I came back to my room and turned on the tv and fell asleep. That is that.

DAY 2...
I woke up at 4:30, called base transportation and they said they'd be here at 5:10.. So, I got dressed and walked to the gas station and got a muffin and then came back and waited for a couple more minutes and went and caught my ride.. I was about 40 minutes early to class So me and a kid who is staying in the hotel across the street from me went to the chow hall and got a little bit of food (he ended up being in my class) After food we went to our school house and found our instructors and class was supposed to start at 6 but one of the other students thought class started at 7 and was way late, so we just chilled until he got there.. After he arrived we took our first break and it was like 25 minutes long, which was rad. . Breaks should only be about 10 - 15 minutes long. So, after break we just went through orientation stuff, introductions and got familiar with some of the stuff we'll be learning. We took a couple more breaks, had some lunch and then learned more.. After class I had a Traffic Safety Briefing (which is for people who drive, I don't drive, so, it was pointless) I then got some food from the store to keep in my room and came back to my room and showered and watched 2 episodes of scrubs, did some homework from class and watched 3 episodes of Family Guy. I am currently on my 4th episode. This place is prety boring. I have a lot to miss at home and I am missing it like crazy. Anyways, Goodnight friends and family. I love you all.
