well the day was finally here I was finally 21, woke up and started my day with fire fighting school which is usually fun cause we get to fight fires but not today there was to many people so we just got the whole "death by power point" the navy loves so much. That also means that we got out early to, would have been real great if I didn't have duty and have to go back to the ship and stay til the next morning. Buying some time me and the boys all we out for lunch at Ihop, which was pretty fun, these are the type of guys no matter what your doing your gonna have a good time cause there goof balls. Then it was back to work as soon as I get there I'm put to work cleaning our spaces on the ship cause they haven't done it yet, bummer! OK so its the end of the day everyone that's not on duty can leave, that means hopefully ill be in bed by 6 cause i got to stand watch from 2-7 in the a.m. No such luck, right after supper i get the call that contractors need to work in our space and I have to sit with them and the great part about that is they don't get off til midnight, and I still gotta be armed up at 130.
So need less to say I didn't have the birthday I had planed on but we made up for it the next day, it was Saturday but i first had to get some sleep the hour from the night before wasn't working. I got up about 2 and by 4 I was with a friend drinking vodka and mountain dew (i know sounds weird but try it its really good) getting ready to go out, some of the boys came over the rest met us at Red Robin where we decided to get supper. A friend of my also surprised me with a hotel room that was really close to the bar we were goin to so that i didn't have to worry bout me or anyone else getting home.
The spot for the night was the eagles nest. I LOVE country music and had a good time. When we first got there i finished watching the game where Carolina blew duke outta the water and celebrated with a shot of patron! I don't really remember a whole lot after the first hour, just bits and pieces every now and then. But we had a blast from riding the bull to doing stupid dances it was amazing.
And all thanks to my friends here in Norfolk, because of work I wasn't able to go home and celebrate with my friends and family, but these guys here did more than make up for it:)
