Its hard to stay ahead

So here is my ahh 4th blog, and I am sure I will do a great job of not keeping up with it or just-plain out forgetting about it.

I am current on mobilization orders for deployment to Iraq, a lot of shuffling around and I am not going into the plain, information changes all the time.

There is a lot of down time, but not the kind of down time you want to be chatting with friends, or talking on your cell phone, the waiting to get on the fire line, for patients to come in, so you are stuck reading a book, sleeping, or bsing with soldiers around you.

I have taken up a few endeavers to make it through the deployment. Posting a picture or at least taking one everyday of my new friend mr. graves that was given to me by my friend Todd. I am sure todd misses him, and i am going to do my best to take really good care of him.

my second project is to find an awesome quote and write it in my black book, and post it to the blog, as often as i can, but i am not so good at keeping up with all this stuff.

so today quotes is

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
--John Stewart Mill--
