Fort Irwin

Well! this weekend I had training for the national guard, and this weekend we went to the field in Fort Irwin, which is about 30 miles from vegas, in Barstow. It started out fine, but then our gun ran out of battery and the belt broke. So for the rest of the trip I was on kitchen duty, out in the field. I had to wash dishes, cook the food and all that stuff. It was pretty lame, at least I got to eat a lot during meals. I went to bed saturday night only to be woken up by rain on my face and about 60 mph winds.. not to mention we are sleeping outside on cots. So, it feels like its about 10 degrees at this point and it sucks. About an hour later it stops raining but the winds pick up even more, creating sand storms for about 5 hours. Thats really sucked because everything was flying everywhere and the sand was just blasting at your face, it was not very pleasing. Anyways, I guess the word is that we are suppose to deploy to Kosovo september of 09, who knows tho. I guess we have to orders, said by the battalion commander, so its official, but we still never know its 10 months away. Ill be pretty stoked if we do go. I got back home about 5:30 after cleaning my weapon and doing stuff at the battery. Work and practice tomorrow, and cutting weight for wednesdays match! only 5 more weeks of JC wrestling! AHHHHH all out!
