Desert Sailor

I am going to try this again, lets see how long i can keep this updated again.

Well anyway, i am here in manama bahrain, where it is hotter than hell, aboard USS Ardent, MCM 12. i have seen the temp. get to 125 in the shade, it has reportedly been above 130 a few times since we have been here, it isnt so bad when we pull out of the pier and go underway, it cools down little bit. But i guess i am kinda used to it, being from florida and all, it doesnt seem to affect me as much as others sometimes. We are going on an extended underway soon, we have been real busy this past month, with multiple underways to gear us up for this upcoming one. I am enjoying it here as much as i can, its been real hard here lately, been in the navy going on a year and a half and havent been able to have some real quality family time. But i make the best out of it, not like its going to get better if i just mope around, i have my 3rd class test coming up in sept. wish me luck, and i am working on getting all my qualifications done so i can get my (esws) surface warfare pin. I have alot to do, alot to concentrate on so i can stand out and be at the top, i have praises from some of my shipmates, specially my LPO (leading petty officer). I have been taking pics here and there but nothing real special, havent ventured off to far and generally forget the cam. But me and a buddy plan on hitting it up tomorrow. I have been trying to post some pics, but for some reason it hates me, let me post one of my ship but i will try posting other pics at a later time.I got to get going now, it is getting late here, til next time...http://www.ardent.navy.mil/default.aspx for info on my current ship!
