So I was making the drive from Chattanooga to Macon today and was thinking that its always so hard to stay connected to friends and family when you're not living with them or near them. So I started brainstorming ways to stay in better touch with the people I care about with the little free time that comes with a full time job. That's when I came to the conclusion that I should create a blog. That way it will give my friends and family a way to stay connected to my life without requiring me to make 30 phone calls each week.
I'll be shipping to the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton, California next week. I'm excited about the challenge and starting the next step in my military career, but its also bittersweet since I'll be thousands of miles away from my family, girlfriend, and the few friends I have that still live in the area. Hopefully this blog and a few phone calls with make the distance seem smaller. I'll try to update this with pictures and stories as often as time allows. I know that I will have some weekends off here and there and will try to make my way to the library on base to use their computers.
I didn't major in English nor do I have a great deal of experience in writing so bear with my punctuation, grammar, and stream of consciousness that this blog and my future blogs will surely contain. Until the next time...
