Hardcore Corpsman Work!

Well, not really, but part of the job here. Drill weekend done and no real work. Holiday party and a bunch of presentations. On Sunday I was asked if I can come over to the NOSC (Reserve Center) and help out verifying medical records and getting ready for an inspection and of course I said yes. An hour later I had orders in hand starting Monday (The next day) for two weeks. Orders that quick I was surprised but some Chiefs don't mess around. My unit officers were not happy to see the jump of chain of command or the dirty way it got done but it got done and I am better used this way that what I was suppose to do. They pay will not be great but a little better than my normal job. Plus I'm doing something satisfying and meaningful. Now I get my AT out of the way very early and my unit has one less person to worry about.

I guess due to my Navy work, I've been getting home tired. Don't know why as the work is not very hard. Short hours and just paperwork. Got most of it done with a week to go and will use the next few days to clean it up and organize as much as possible. Always good to help out the NOSC as they support us and remember those that are around. I do hope this coming year I get sent to a few courses to help out the NOSC. Anything local for a few days would be awesome. Also this weekend was HN Balisi's last drill for a while as he too deploys to Afghanistan. Hopefully he gets together with HM3 Mejia and HM2 Alcocer. HN Balisi will do great and should have no doubts. Fast learner and very eager to do do all he can for his Sailors and Marines - Hoorah!

Got Halo 4 and thought I was going to be playing more than I did. Started the campaign on Wednesday and wont be able to play again until Sunday. So far much better looking than prior versions and very nice sounding game.

Weather has been crazy as we have had no snow or even chanced at it lately. The next few days will remain as today and maybe colder temps Sunday into Monday.
