A Quick Update

Since I been on this blog thang...but I guess you can say I been busy...but here's an update...

after bootcamp i endured...

Marine Combat Training (MCT):

I loved dis shyt...it was the first time I actually trained along side males and got to eat fatty chow hall food...lol...got to shoot a buncha coo crap and live grenades and what not...lol...this lasted bout a month then i graduated and was supposed to be shipped off to MOS school but got lucky enough to go home on Recruiters Assistance for the holidays...got stuck on a workin party for Toys4Tots which wasnt really that bad...then b4 i knu it jan.5 rolled around and off to North Carolina I went...

MOS school:

In the middle of Jacksonville nowhere...hahaha cold as fuck...sat around in forming for bout 2 months met some coo ass peeple...went to Ohio...got a huge second tat...then finally picked up with my class...experienced my first snow...realized how perverted male marines are...lol...and graduated top of my class as LCPL...couldnt wait to git outta that place...but i was leavin something...or someone behind...we keep in touch still miss him mucho thoe...

NOW: Im bored shitless in my home city...its crazy how noone really goes anywhere when u git bak everyone is the same as when I left with the exception of gaining weight...lol...

NEXT: I hit the fleet at Camp Pendleton, CA soon to be called home...nervous anxious and cant wait!!!

Back from bootcamp: feelin greater than ever!!

So graduated from Marine Corps Bootcamp on friday Oct. 23.
I graduated as honor grad...but there was soo much that went into becoming a Marine and walking across that parade deck...

Phase I:
I was demotivated and bored with bootcamp right off the bat...
I guess i was in shock that not everyone was as strong and down for the Corps as me...and on top of that the training wasnt what i thot it would be...At this point i was squad leader and trying to look at everything with an open mind and trying to motivate others...so it gradually got betta...the rest of this phase was mostly PT and classes...
Slowly but surely i started to gain confidence and the respect as a squad leader from my fellow recruits...At the end of this phase we did the gas chamber and I didnt have much trouble with it...which was like the icing on the cake because that honestly was my biggest fear I thought I was gonna have an asthma attack.

Phase II:

I was catching on to how things worked...went to the range earned the Billet of Guide...

got a lot of backs turned on me...but thats what happens when your DIs force you to be a bitch...but atleast i kno i led by example and in the end the respected me...

i shot a sharpshooter...it was pooring rain on qual. day...a girl crapped on herself..funny shyt...Also went through Basic Warrior Training...i thought dis was the best out of everthing we got down and dirty low crawling under barbed wire...all that good shyt you see on TV

Phase III:

Made me a Marine...

We all thought we was tough as shyt cuz we were compared to the babies...

went through the crucible...wasnt what i thought it would be yes it was challenging and tiring as fuck but our motivation hid all the pain...

15k hike home...motivating cadence...EGA ceremony...tears...and a fat warriors breakfast officially made me a Marine...

it was funny all the babies had to call us M'aam...lol...lost so much weight went in at 131 left at 115...graduated and had lunch with my fam and drill insructors....awkward but interesting to see them in human mode...lol...all in all i finally accomplished my dream and im living it....hate on it

Came home:

Felt like i was on top of the world...went back to my old highschool and seeing them look up to me was crazy

And i realized how much i changed....

I finally had the ballz to leave my asshole boyfriend of 2 and somethin years...

officially livin my life independently the way i please...

My hair is gone and so am I

OMG I leave to bootcamp tomorrow morning at the ass crak f dawn...I'm goin to tha hotel tonight...

And i cut my hair...it was past mah ass and now it at tha middle of mah back...i cried..i aint gonna lie...I got pissed cuz Ssgt. Nguyen said that it aint even short...mah fuckn ass it is short as hell...

But ne hoo...I'm friggn ready...Jus gotta figure out if i wanna bring sports bras and stuff or not...im reading online and most say dont bring much...so yah...

Well ne way that bout it...tryna git in as much family time as possible right now...wish me luck...because the countdown has ended....

My mom went bye-bye and i miss her

So I spent tuesday finishing up packing...
I still cant believe it...Then after packing we searched for a place for my BF and brotha to live at...no luck...i feel so bad knowing that they now dont have a place to live at...
SO we found them a motel room but mah mom could only afford it for a week...

After all that I was gitting prety stressed out...couldnt really take it all at once...so I went to frisco wit da doods...(Saheed, Cheddar Bob, Ray, my BF, and his cuzzin Jacob) ...but ill git into details about dat later...

But yah that same day my friends had me a lil goin away dinner @ Red Robin...it was fun havent seen some of dem since skoo ended...I cant believe im leaving in like 4 days... They bought me an elephant baloon hat...that was red white and blu so i pretty much looked like a republican..but its aight kuz i am...I named him Elefante Gigante...our waiter was pretty rude so we didnt tip him...not even gratuity...

Now back to Frisco...
Saheed, Ray, & Cheddar Bob crashed mah dinner at da end..then we were gonna go to da beach but decided not to...picked up JT and his cuzzin and dat lil bee..Jt popped mah elefantes trunk...
So we went down to Frisco...

• stopped to figure wat exactly we were gonna do..then some homeless lady came and asked for some change...so i gave her some and she started to flow..dood she was pretty sick...she had dat raggae thang goin on her name was Momma Veteran...then she started preaching to us about rasta-farien..(i think das how u spell it) religion talking about Jesus is black ...lol...then she asked if we smoked weed and dat was our cue to leave...so we did..
• Then we drove in circles to find Van ness...when we ran into some lady and she hopped in da car to show us..da female basically made us give her a ride home cuz she had us goin in da wrong direction...it was funny though cuz da doods was asking her hela questions and she got scared and almost died tryna git out da car...lol
• We saw a hooker...ray turned around to talk to her but she was gone...
• We went into a preview porn shop...there was dis huge swollen black dood...he didnt say much but when he did he spoke lyka cowboy and come to think of it there was country music playing in da store too...lol...i thought you only seen that in da movies...lol
• We almost saw a bum fight
• Walked the warf
• And then headed home...
• Ray used onstar for directions but Saheed used it to cupcake wit da female...lol...it was fun

but the thing was i wasnt fully in it 1) b/c mah BF was acting a foo....and 2) because I knew my mom was leaving that same mornong... so i got home and spent as much time with her as i could but it was like 5:00am...slept in my bros car and then went with to drop her at tha airport...


And yesterday was mah last pt wit da station...hit 66 seconds on tha hang...but didnt do so well on da run...then went to a BBQ wit mah boo-boo...went to my sisters house and watched family guy wit da niece and that was that...

Workout/BBQ on tha beach

So today was officially my last pool function.
I got picked up bright and erly by Ingrid to meet up at da station...did a lil drilling...then packed up and headed to Santa Cruz
Once we finished unloading our gear...the Marines wasted no time starting us on our PT for the day.
Started out with some stretches led by the recruiters from the Lifeguard tower (kinda reminded me of the Navy Seal videos)...then we began our beach run...I thought that it was goin to be in the dry sand....but i was wrong...within 5 minutes of starting the run I was soaked from my stomach down...hella fun though...we ran the whole seabright beach and back then through a water cave thang to the other side of the Boardwalks beach...and back...
After doing some cool down exercises, chugging a bottle of H2O (more than one for some poolees), and finally dumping out that 12 pounz of wet sand in my shoes... it was time for SSgt. Jackson's class on water survival...so we went in the water...its funny cuz i wasnt planning on gitting wet (friggn SSgt. Nguyen dunked me) but I changed my mind quick especially since i was alredy soaked from tha run...
Soon enough it was time for my class...it actually went pretty well...then a follow up class on mine by Sgt. Cardoza...then it was time for chillin and grubbin...
I was proud of myself since i was the only female who participated today...

AFTER TODAY I KNOW I AM READY FOR BOOTCAMP...

Overall the day was relaxing and coo cuz I got to know the other poolees again...got a lil sun burned in the process but its all good...cuz it feels good to have gotten to knoe everyone else better...and clown on MacPeter...lol...( "I aint saying she a gold digga...but")...and I pushed my self to the fullest....yup today was a good day...

Oh yah and yesterday I switched over to T-Mobile...so that when I'm at Bootcamp I can have my fone suspended and then the same numberr unsuspended when I come back...had to do it cuz there's only

9 days left until I leave for Marine Corps Bootcamp

"Just cuz I'm leaving doesnt mean that life won't go on"

Raging waters was heka fun yesterday wit Ana n KArina...got hella free stuff...and had some lafs...

So last night mah BF went home expecting to be happily welcomed...but wasnt...i felt so bad for him family shouldnt act like that...so we picked him up late and he spent the night again...

Woke up super erly this morning to his families endless calls...but I didnt care cuz i was so excited to finally be spending tha day with him...but then he decided to sub for sumwun...I was so hurt that he'd rather work than spend time with me...even though I'm still upset I kno that it was pretty selfish...it's like he dont really got nowhere to stay after I leave and I kno das why he gotta save up...das when i realized that

"Just because I'm leaving, it doesnt mean that life doesnt go on back at home".

But then I think we both realized we were wrong and he

called me inviting me to the movies...i felt so happy but of course

with him it never lasts...cuz then he had to have some girl in da

background tryna be supa cute....grrrr.....so now i dont know if i

realy wana go.

Well enough of dat drama...so far today I jus been slowly packing up my room...so sad...friggn crazy...

ANd on top of that I gotta give a short class on leadership at da pool function...i dnt kno why im nervous with all my experience...i gues i jus dont want to ramble on about NJROTC...jus gotta pik mah main idea and git in the zone to stik wit it...

Well now Ima go git showered and ready gonna try and transfer my Metro Celly to Verizon...aight well time for me to throw up tha dueces...
