little creek virginia's naval amphibious base is actually quite peaceful at 0400, and although my rack is exponentially more desirable at this point, this side of pier 14 is preferred to that which consists of drills and a bottomless work list. growing up and having never really spent any extended periods of time anywhere but new jersey, this frequent visiting of new places for purposes other than vacation is beginning to settle in as reality. this is one of the reasons I enlisted, this is a way to see the world; yes, I'll see parts of earth that I would have never been able to see as a civilian, but my world drove to jersey on saturday.
this morning, I am at peace on the port main deck, I am proud of the path I've chosen and satisfied with where I'm at just zero six months in... it's just tough to be away.
the countdown to my advancement to E-4 begins today; it won't be fast, it won't be easy, but it will be totally worth the wait.
