Halloween 2008
It’s that time of the year again…Halloween! Back home, it’s also retro night tonight! Jennifer and Stephen are going dressed up for the costume party they said. I can’t wait to get the pictures from that! Ghost Hunters LIVE is tonight! Here on base, the Russians left this morning – and I can’t imagine what … Read more
From the Worst to the Best
Minot Air Force Base is located about 13 miles north of the city of Minot, ND. It’s an about 2 hours north of Bismarck, ND, and about 3-4 hours west of Grand Forks, ND and Fargo, ND. Of the 4 Major cities I have just listed, Minot is the smallest with about 38,000 people living here. We … Read more
Non-Interesting
Hello! Not much to really talk about today. I did a little bit of training early on during the day, but then we got busy after about 9am. The day went by pretty quickly. I work again tomorrow but then I have the 3-day weekend! The weather was gorgeous today. We had a high of … Read more
Rock The Vote…
Hilarious! (At least I think so)
Yo
Well, let’s see here…I worked today from 6am until about 12:30pm, then I had to go to my Records Management class which lasted until about 3:45pm. I’m now certified to take over the records and filing program for my office. Hopefully everything will work out the way it’s planned. This morning, as soon as I stepped into … Read more
Memories, all alone in the moonlight…
Hey everyone! I’m sorry I didn’t get around to posting anything yesterday. I’ve done two 12-hour shifts now in a row, and finally tomorrow it’s back to a normal schedule. Tomorrow is gonna be exciting, because we have to launch seven B-52′s in a row, 30 seconds apart from each other, as part of an … Read more
Global Strike Command
I just found out that the command I am currently under in the Air Force will be changing. We are currently part of the ‘Air Combat Command’, or ‘ACC’ for short. By next September, we’ll be called the ‘Global Strike Command’. The GSC is taking over all parts of the nuclear mission so it’s better … Read more
Saw V
This afternoon I went and watched the new ‘Saw’ movie. I enjoyed it a lot, although it was probably the most predictable movie of the series to date. I think the previews gave a lot of the movie away unintentionally. There also were not nearly as many ‘twists’ throughout the movie as there have been … Read more
My Short 10-Hour Nap…
Typically, I would have posted by now – but accidentally taking a 10-hour nap prevented this from happening… Work was good. I did a lot of training today and got some of that over with. We had a “suspicious package’ emergency for about 10-minutes, so it got a bit exciting for a little while with … Read more
New Pics of the Dorm Room!
Walking into my room… Some of my rock collection… My living area… Looking towards my hallway and door… More of my living area…
Guess Who’s Back?
Yes! I’ve finally got my internet and cable hooked back up here in my new dorm room. So far everything is going well in my new room. It’s a bigger room, so that’s always good…and the people on my floor seem to share my interest of loud music, so I fit right in, lol. Now, … Read more
Explosions!
Well, today I spent most of my time wounded, on the floor of our base gym. I never died after all! We got to the the base theater at 9:30am, and that’s where they told us what we would be doing for our victim roles. My role was to play a guy who, after an explosion occurred, … Read more
Bertha!
I randomly decided to draw a girl I saw earlier…and my friend Courtney and I decided her name will be Bertha. So, everybody meet Bertha: Bertha’s a bit shy…so welcome her to the blog! (Laura, it looks like you’re safe for a while – Talent wise, I’ve got nothing for ya!)
Kyle…Dead?
I got out of work early yet again today, due to the fact that I am participating in a base exercise tomorrow morning, starting at 9:30am. The hospital is putting on some safety demonstrations, and I volunteered to play the part of….a dead guy. And then, I believe, I am playing the part of someone … Read more
Monday, Monday – It’s Only Monday
Hey everyone. I just saw a new TV trailer for Saw V…and it looks better with every new trailer! I’m watching the new ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ on Spike TV. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. New host, new music, new format – yeah, I’m not sure I like it very much. I spent … Read more
Worship Fest 2008
Normally I would have posted at least one blog by this point in the day, considering it’s a day off, but I’ve been a bit busy! I woke up around 1pm – keeping in mind I went to bed early this morning at about 4:30am – and then I got ready for church. When I … Read more
Quarantine
For the most part, I’d have to say ‘Quarantine’ was a pretty good movie. It’s comparable to ‘Cloverfield’ – mostly because the entire movie is from the perspective of a camera that a character is carrying. It had plenty of jumpy moments – as well as plenty of humorous moments. I don’t think it’ll be … Read more
Another Movie Adventure!
I think this evening I’m gonna go downtown and see ‘Quarantine’. I was going too last night, but honestly, I forgot all about it until around midnight, lol. I’ll probably catch the 5:25 showing of it. I’ve just been packing and moving some more of my stuff to my new dorm this afternoon. Nothing all too … Read more
Getting Older…
…Is something that’s been on my mind lately. The last couple of months, one of the main things that has been on my mind is the fact that I’m getting older, and I’m not a part of the ‘indestructible’ teenager years anymore. I’m only 23, I know, but I’mnot 22. When I was 22, I wasn’t … Read more
What a great day!
I woke up this morning at about 5:15 and got ready for work. Work was amazing! The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force was holding interviews for about an hour this morning with the local news stations, so he was in our building in the DV lounge. The ‘DV’ stands for ‘Distinguished Visitor’…more or less … Read more
Ramble on…
Hey everyone! Today was a bit of a rough one but it ended well. I went to the theater at around 1pm and listened to the speech that the CMSAF gave to us. After that, I got word that Dorm Management is moving me to another dorm. I have to be all moved by next … Read more
Don’t let the wind sweep you off your feet!
A new article has been released about me in the Air Force! This new one is about me graduating from the First Term Airman Center (FTAC), which is the program every new Air Force troop has to go through at their first base assignment. It helps with the transition from a training environment to a … Read more
I’m Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!
Hey! Today was even shorter than yesterday was! I went into work at 1:45pm and I just got out at 9pm. I’m starting to like this, lol. Dorm Maintenance finally turned the heat on for my dorm, so when I got back to my room this evening, it was roasting! I had the heat set … Read more
A Late Night Hello!
Hi everyone! I just got back from going downtown after work. I had to pop into Walmart quickly and pick up a few groceries. Work was good. I didn’t realize we were working an hour less than normal today, so it was a pleasant surprise! Tomorrow’s gonna be the same. This weekend it’s looking like … Read more
I’m Blind!
So, I went earlier tonight to see the movie ‘Blindness’…and it kind of made me wish I actually was blind for that particular 2 hours. The movie really, really sucked. No wonder it only brought in about $2 million this weekend. The entire movie was about naked blind people couped up in a … Read more
Hmmm…
It’s been raining all day long. I started watching the Talladega race before church, and I got back home in time to see that last 80 laps of it. It’s on in the background as I type this actually. I think I might go downtown later this evening and see the movie ‘Blindness’. The keyword … Read more
While I think of it…
I came across some links online that I wanted to share with you all. The first one is a graduation announcement from basic training. The link is: http://www.bmtgrad.com/HOMETOWNNEWS/?p=23393. It even has an interesting picture that was taken of me during the 6th week of training. The next one is the announcement of my Great-Aunt’s passing this … Read more
The Wee Hours of the Night
As I mentioned in earlier posts, I had to be in to work for 9:45pm tonight. It’s now 4:09am and I just got home about 15 minutes ago. My friend Kindra sent me a text, and it read “what did you have to do at work?” Well, the answer is: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING As a matter … Read more
Lazy Vegetableness
Good Evening! I haven’t even been out of my dorm today. I’ve just lounged around for the most part. I went downstairs to the kitchen and cooked my lunch after I woke up…and I’ve been watching TV ever since. I copied some lyrics down into my final draft book a little while ago. There’s someone … Read more
Big Balls, Big Planes
Well, today is another Top 5 day as far as blog visits! I’m currently sitting at 36 for the day, with 4 hours to go before it resets for tomorrow. It bases it on UTC time, not local time…which is why it resets at 7pm. Work was good. I started my training for my new … Read more
