| | I reckon' it's time for an update.
Whew... so much and so little have happened in the past few weeks. I've been busy maintaining a slight social life, going out with friends from work and just cruising in the whip. It's helping with the passing of the time, but at the end of the night, I feel as if I am not getting anywhere.
It's been a little over a year and a half since Pakistan, and I have had my hopes to deploy again crushed several times. I can appreciate that my unit has deemed me a valuable asset, but they are not giving me my opportunity to shine. I am recently questioning my motives to extend my tour out here on Okinawa.
I have seen off a lot of the people that I came up with here in Okinawa. Very few remain that knew me as that motivated PFC who was just down right excited for anything that came my way. I am no longer as excited as I once was to see what tomorrow has in store for me here. I have a role here that is no longer deemed significant. All I do is see the same things day in and day out and I am straight up bored.
I still enjoy Okinawa. I enjoy seeing more and more of it as time permits, but I want to do more. I guess I can go back to school and work towards some degrees, but I know that's why I have my G.I. Bill setup. I want to see the world some more. I need to deploy. I need to make that paper!
I am still in love with the woman that has motivated me never to quit, but I can take a hint, and I know when I am not wanted. I am hanging on only because my hopes overcome my doubts, but that is slowly fading. I guess I will have to wait a bit longer to find that girl who will allow the chase to be so worth it.
Tomorrow starts the begining of another long work week. With God's help, I will find the will to survive it. We'll see...
