Thought I'd start out by saying HEY, how goes it readers?

Well, my life's taken some interesting turns over the past few years. I think the turn that would be most interesting to readers would be my life as a United States Marine. The military's a fairly large part of the news these days, put lightly... So I thought I'd try to shed some light on what it's like to be in the shoes of someone in the military.
I want to go into some detail about the training I've gone through, particularly boot camp and MCT. So if you're someone looking for information about the Marine Corps, you can find some tips on how to survive training and what it's like entering the fleet marine forces.
Well, some information about me: I'm currently stationed in sunny San Diego CA at MCAS Miramar. I work as an Aviation Supply Specialist. My job is to support helicopter squadrons by supplying parts for the aircraft maintenance crews. Not necessarily a glamorous job, but it's a necessity.
I'm about to deploy on the 13th MEU to the middle east tomorrow, so I'll do my best to portray what goes on during deployment. So if you're a personal friend of mine, a family member, or just someone that wants to know what it's like to be in the shoes of a Marine, I hope you can get something out of this blog.
I'll do my best to explain what goes on, but I won't be able to go into details about locations we're in until some time after we've left. This is for security reasons. Just thought I'd throw in that disclaimer... Well, I hope you enjoy!!!
