JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Good afternoon everyone. It is a couple days before Christmas, and I have been here in Wanchese, NC for the past week. I haven't done a lot, but have spent time with my family. Not so much time with friends. My nieces and I have gotten some geocaching done and I have gotten some pictures taken of things to interest me. Truthfully, I'm not looking forward to Christmas because once again I have to leave the day after. These vacations go by way to fast. But all in all, I have had a wonderful time here back home even though I haven't seen everyone. I guess, they will have to wait until next year. Until next time, keep you head held high and your arms raised upward and you my friend will make it.

Thanksgiving Day!

Its been a good long while since I have last posted anything on here. But here goes. Lets see how my english is today. As you can see, it is another Thanksgiving. What am I doing? The same as usual. Sitting here hanging out in the single sailor center playing on my computer. Wish I was back home in N.C. enjoying some of moms cooking. Christmas vacation sure cant come quick enough.

We have only been home from deployment for a couple of weeks now, and finally getting back into the swing of things. Its nice to be back on land for longer than a day or two. We have been pretty busy at work, and it doesnt plan to stop for the next couple of months. My first year and a half has gone by pretty fast and hopefully my last half of my time here in Hawaii will go by just as quick. It seems that the only days that go by fast are those I spend at work. I guess keeping busy is the only way to speed things up.

I will also be starting college courses again in December. I would like to finish my BA by the time I leave Hawaii. I know its near impossible with the way our tuition assistance works, but it will be nice knowing I only have a couple more classes when I leave here. I cant believe that I (Greg Thompson) has stuck with this whole college thing. Who would have ever thought that I would have gotten my AA and now am working on a BA. The bad things is, I'm actually thinking about a MA.

Well, I think this will do it for the time being. I think I have eaten enough turkey, and I do believe it is time for my after meal nap. Hope all is well, and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day
