Let me just clear the air and state for the record that I am a control freak. I feel like I need to go to control freaks anonymous, ya know, "hello my name is Sailorette, and I'm a control freak". "Hello, Sailorette, we loooovve you!" I am training a new girl to replace me at work while I'm on my adventure overseas and I just can't for the life of me be nice to her or allow her to succeed. She is a wonderful person and I know she will do great in the job and I need to just back off and allow her to do well instead of making things difficult for her. She is catching on well, a little slower than I would like, but there comes the control freak in me. I just feel at those times that I know I can get it done right so I might as well do it. Sheesh, I'm so mean sometimes. I have vowed to myself to just do everything in my power to help her learn and do well.
My family and I took a trip up home to visit my grandparents before I go overseas. It's such a long trip, but it's always fun and we are really glad that we went. My grandpa is in his 80's, so I hate to say it, but I'm not sure if he will still be here when I return from deployment. I think he knew that as well because when we were leaving he pulled me aside and wished me luck and let me know that I will be in his thoughts and prayers. It felt almost like a final goodbye. I hate that, but makes me even more glad that I was able to go up and visit one last time.
Things are just grooving along towards my deployment. I had to get a passport the other day and let me tell you that it's not cheap to have one expedited....$200!! Never mind the fact they tell us almost at the last minute we need one. Oh well, that's the military for ya! I have been so concerned as to how to pack my toiletries in my carry-on bag. I bought a great bag from L.L. Bean that I think is going to be just hunky-dory for what I am going to need. I even got it in Army green. LOL!!
Well, my cat is just throwing fits to get out of my room. I don't think I stink, I at least showered today, so I will wrap this up and tend to the Princess.

I'm the same way. I will actually get rude with people. ex: Oh come on! here just move and I'll do it. From your last post, I think you could transfer to the Army. I love the army. I couldn't imagine being in any other branch. The hot duty stations to go to for deployment are Campbell, Bragg, Drum, and whatever Hawaii is. You could find out for sure by going to goarmy.com and clicking on the chat with a recruiter link. So yeah, come on over to the dark side muahahahahahahahaha. yeah anyway. good to see you dont like Michigan....bastards
