Well, A lot has been going on around here lately. A ton of brand new people have been comming in busloads to the camp every day. Most are headed up north to replace units that have been here for about a year now (just like me). This is both good and bad, Good because it means my time here is almost done. Bad because the camp is waaaay overcrowded, going anywhere around here now is like christmas shopping at the mall....everybody keeps running you over with the baby carriages and not even appologizing. I guess for such a professional army nobody has grasped the concept of manners just yet. It is however funny to sit back and laugh at the new guys, they all walk around the camp looking like they are expecting a bomb to go off. Its almost like watching high school freshmen on their first day of school walking around looking like they are going to get beat up if they dont watch their step. But in one month from now, it is our replacements late date to get here and relieve us. They are a army reserve unit from Puerto Rico (hence the name of the entry), And January 10th is the latest they can get here...I'm psyched because not only could it be earlier, but one more month is nothing really. After they get here, they will have to basically just sit around for 2 weeks and get acclimated. After the adjustment period we sign all of our tools and equipment over to them (I guess they are a very poorly supplied unit If they dont have any working tools or equipment of their own). After they get our tools, we cant do anymore work so then we get to just sit around and wait for out plane to get here. A huge change has come over me this week, even with the shooting event a couple of days ago, I feel like I could just fly...and even if I'm being repremanded for something, my head is somewhere else...I'm going to be a civilian again in a few months! I'm going to live the rest of my life as peacefull and loving as I possibly can, and I'm going to do it all with the woman who makes my dreams come true...Kate. She's stood by me this whole year and even though it was more bad than good she has been there for me no matter what...So I'm very excited that I will not only get the chance to return her devotion and understanding, but I can do it all in person. I feel so free and alive...and I can almost reach out and touch Kate now everytime I close my eyes. The world is once again a beautifull place, It just took me a while to find the beauty again. Hooray for the Puerto Rican Invasion!
