Small victories

Today was one of my first real successesconcerning the Army supply system. When Ifirst got here and realized that I would be responsible for ordering things I figured I better order something just to check out the process. Well low and behold I got some of the first items I ordered. Chalk up one for the chemical guy turned Log Dawg.

Technology is absolutley incredible. I remember the first time I deployed and how out of touch I became from things at home. Now with skype and messenger I am staying more and more in touch. I know Micca was having a really difficult time to begin with and it wasn't exactly easy for me but having been married less than a month it would be hard on anybody. We truely are inseperable. A perfect example is on both of our cruises we have been on. You might think that everybody needs a little alone time to do thier own things. Well I bet in total on both cruises we werent seperated for more than 3 or 4 hours total. Micca is truely my best friend. I think that was what was probably the hardest thing for us. We were never more than a text or phone call away... let me tell you we probably have the record for texts in a month. Anytime anything good or bad happens we always call or text to tell the other as soon as possible if it can't wait until we get home. I remember this one time.... yes this is story time again, it was pretty late or pretty early however you want to put it. Micca calls me... first off before I go any further I need to tell you that we don't call each other very often. We almost ALWAYS text. So when I get a call in the middle of the night I am at first worried. And then to hear Micca she was talking so fast I couldn't understand her. Once I get her calmed down I begin to understand every other word and I find out that she finally tazed someone. In case you don't know a tazer is a gun that shoots a couple of darts into a person who fails to verbally comply with an officers instructions those darts then transmit... I think it is 50,000 volts and will cause the subject to loose muscle control. Well Micca had been shot at the police academy for practice so they would know what it feels like. She had yet to return the favor to a noncompliant subject... until now. When she called me she was so excited I think all of her adreniline had dumped in and she didnt know how fast she was talking. I forgot where I was going with this.....lol. Well you get the point of how it might be tough for us to be seperated for a day much less.... well it's been a month now. I love talking about my wife, I know she is proud of me but I think I am even more proud of her. There are plenty of male role models bu what Micca has accomplished is much tougher than anything I have had to overcome.

I'm very proud of my Wife!!

ok enough boasting for now, I didn't have much else to talk about but I start talking about her I can talk all day.

Later for now
