So there I was...
Blogging for the second time in one week. I hope you guys aren't too overwhelmed. Make sure and read the last one if you haven't already. Things are still going well here. Today I was actually productive. I worked hard and put in a pretty long day. In the end it was a good day though. Not a whole lot to say other than that.
On another note though. I was trying to keep up on my current events and found an article I think you will all find quite interesting. Just take a few moments and check it out. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,253918,00.html
Anyway, hope you are all doing great. I hope to catch up on everyone elses blogs tomorrow.
Blue Skies and God's Speed,

The "Footprint of Freedom"
So there I was...
...stuck in the middle of the Indian Ocean on a tropical island paradise with nothing to do...
Did I say stuck? Well that might be stretching it. Ok, yes, the Air Force did send me here without warning or even asking whether I wanted to go or not. And yes, I don't get to leave until they tell me too, and even if I wanted to, I would have no means of leaving because they control all modes of travel in and out of Diego Garcia B.I.O.T. But I guess I could be a lot worse off.
Did I say nothing to do? Ok, so that was just an outright LIE! Since I have been here I done the following (in no particular order):
Snorkeled 5 times
Swam in the pool
Windsurfed once
Ran on the island (Running a 5k tonight to get a free T-shirt)
Played in a beach volleyball tourney for a free T-shirt
Sailed twice (recieving a legitemate sailing license)
Watch out Scott, I am going to be ready for that sailing trip from New York in no time)
Deep Sea fished twice...with another trip in the making (the second one got cut short due to
inclement weather so the next trip is free)
Toured this cool Satelite tracking facility
Visited Turtle Cove (A protected area of the island for sea life)
Eaten freshly caught and cooked/grilled fish at least 6 times (two were the fish I caught, to
include: Grouper, Snapper, Jobe Fish, Sweet Lips, Bonita Tuna, Yellow Tail Tuna, another
kind of tuna, and my favorite: Whaho (sp)
And to answer T3s question, if there is such a thing as to much fresh fish, I am getting pretty close.
Oh and lets not forget the 1 hour massage for 15 bucks. (I plan to get another one of those)
Well, I am sure I am forgetting something but my time is just about out and this guy just showed up next to me with a huge waad of tobacco that is stinking up the whole room and making me sick. :-) (random...)
Oh, I guess I should mention that we've flown a few times to.
I only wish my wife...and maybe the boyz were here to share it with me.
Kilroy was here!
