this could be any other saturday afternoon. i'm sitting in the internet cafe trying to cool off after hitting the gym and going for a short run (hey, i gotta start slowly!). except, i worked this morning and in a few hours i'll be headed back in to work again (and oh yeah, i still have that weapon strapped onto my shoulder). that's the beauty of deployment and 24/7 ops. saturday is just like any other day. and sunday? same thing. no more weekends, no more holidays, no more days off for the next 7 months.
i may be bitching and whining, but really, it's my marines who are the workhorses. i'm just here for emergencies and to make sure everyone stays healthy...a fairly easy job, actually. it's my squadron that has to do all the real work, day in and day out, with little fanfare and little recognition. it's not much, but here's my props to them...
enjoy your weekends, guys...go outside, get some fresh air, make sure you get some qt with loved ones. have a drink for me. that's it, i'll get off my soapbox now.

Your inputs help us and people back home understand somewhat how life is there in a army camp 7/24. The "real
action" we see on TV news every day! Back in Viet Nam,in the early 70's, dad was stationed in a Air Force base in the highland, but at least I got to go out to town after hour to have some fun...:D Try to enjoy whatever you can! We love you.

We were at the Heritage Park in Cerritos this morning. There Anh Thu and Tram Anh had a chance to hunt "Easter eggs" like the other children. This is the first time they took part in something like that ... They are very happy and love this park very much ... Just want to tell you a little bit about us ... Think of you ... See you later
