Well, after today only 10 more days until I return home. It will have been a long 4 months that I have been away from home. At basic training I had fun. Some parts were hard but most I enjoyed. AIT on the other hand has mostly been a lot of bull shit. The classes have been good for my MOS (Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems Specialist). The software we use is quite complex and pretty cool. However the computer systems we are currently using are running Solaris 5.6 which is extremely old (in the technology field). It does get the job done though. Monday is our final test and we go out in the field for a few days then come home and graduate. I should end up being honor grad, but who knows if I will get screwed by our Drill Sergeant as he only likes people with HIGH PT scores.

With my arrival home date coming closer I have been thinking more and more of what kind of car am I going to buy. New or Used I have an idea depending on the price of the used car. I originally was gonna get a new car, but if I get a used car then I will have more money to play with. Anyways, my tags expire today (yes its my birthday), however the retarded govenor of Michigan has had to “shutdown” the state government. So my parents could not renew my tags at the Secretary of State has been shutdown. So… Hopefully I won’t have to buy new tags until I get my new car.
