Just some Thoughts

So here is an update. I think the Navy messed up my paperwork. So instead of getting out Jan. 17th 2013...i think im getting out Jan 17th 2011. Honestly i hope i do get out earlier. I dont think it was necessarily a mistake going in...ive learned a lot, and im still learning. There are just other things id rather be doing. Such as as college...i kinda wish i just did the normal thing....went to school like everyone else, had a normal job, a normal life. Dont get me wrong, the Navy has some good stuff. Such as...when i get out...i dont have to pay to go to college...they cover that.

On the subject of getting out of the Navy. I already have plans. Assuming i get out 2011...i should still be in Washington. It would be awesome if me, Steven, and Daniel could afford to all get a place together. I wont go to school right away...ill probably work for a year to save money. I am not quite sure where i will work, but i do know a cool thing i want to volunteer for. The "King County Search and Rescue 4x4 Unit". They do all sorts of training/missions. So i can learn a lot there, plus just being able to help search for people would be a good feeling, knowing that your helping someone. Well thats all i really have for now, have a good weekend.

Just An Update

Hello to everyone. Well it is sunday afternoon, just sitting here being bored. It is my last weekend in San Diego. I leave thursday for deployment and i'll be back sometime towards the end of may. It should be fun. Japan is supposed to be the first port we hit. That should be really fun.

I saw Cloverfield on opening night, it was really good. I don't want to spoil it so i won't say anything. But i also saw it for a second time last night. There are some good movies coming out that should be really good. Iron Man, there is also a new Star Trek movie that looks amazing. In last couple weeks i've seen several movies. The Bucket List, Sweeney Todd, Cloverfield, First Sunday, Walk Hard, and others i can't quite recall.

I have been recently thinking about getting a motorcycle when i get back. Any thoughts from anyone on this? I don't want a street bike. What i really want is a Harley. I have been looking online at them and i think that i would be able to afford it. Obviously i would get a used. I have also found a class that i want to take when i get back. It's $150 and you get classroom instruction, after that you go out to a track and practice riding. Basic riding first (shifting, and just getting comfortable) then some defensive driving (quick turns and swirving and avoiding objects and stuff). After i take that i will try and find a bike that i like at a price i can manage.

Well i think thats all i have for now, but i will be sure to come back with another post before thursday. have a good weekend everyone, and this is Ben Mcclellan, signing off.
