Big Changes! Been awhile!

Wow... it's been awhile since I've been back and look at all that has changed! I just wanted to drop in and give everyone a quick rundown on how things are going with me for those who are curious. I'm currently in Maryland right now, training as a 63W (Wheeled Vehicle Repairman). I've been here about a month now since I graduated Basic Training. Life here isn't to bad. In 1 week or so we shoudl start getting off post passes, able to wear our civilian clothes when on off duty, CD players, cell phones... all that good stuff. Plus after 7 weeks we get overnight/weekend passes to go off post as well. The food is good and the people aren't to bad. I really miss Killian who is 18 months old today. I haven't seen him since Christmas. Speaking of, my my trip home on X-mas was good. New year's wasn't so great since I was alone all night pretty much, but I was still glad to be at home. I'll be graduating in April and I'm hoping to get stationed home at Fort Lewis, Washington. For everyone that remembers me and wants to keep in contact, my e-mail is: dawnofevil@hotmail.com and my snail mail address is:

Pvt. Dustin McKenzie
B Co 143rd Ord Bn
CL#10W Attn: DS 3rd Plt
APG/EA, MD 21010

Contact me wither way if you wish, I have plenty of time to write to people that write me and I enjoy getting mail. I can also check my e-mail often throughout the week. Hope everyone is doing well in the new year so far. Hope I get a chance to talk to a lot of you that remember me after I get stationed and I have instant messaging again! Good luck and talk to you soon!
-Pvt McKenzie

Hey! Good luck with your MOS, and glad to hear you made it through basic, but which part of basic did you hate the MOST? (And don't say KP)

Which part of your training did you consider the worst and why?

Love to hear some stories from you when you have the chance.

Take Care!

I bet basic training wasn't nearly as bad as you thought it was going to be!! lol

But couldn't you have picked a better MOS besides grease monkey?? (just kidding)

Thanx for protecting my freedom.

Hey Twisted! Im very happy for you. Congrats on completing basic (although I dont know if this is necesarily a good time to be in the military) Remember me?Im the grumpy old fart who kept yelling at you in chat for driving too fast. Good luck and good to see you post.
