In theArmy!!, now

Hello everyone!!
 
tehSam!! has reEnlisted thanks to theMilitary raising theAge of Enlistment (theSam!! is 41currently and will turn 42 in Aug).
 
 
WarriorTransitionCourse / WTC
Will be in Fort Sill, Oklahoma and then I will be sent on to Fort Benning, Georgia for OneStationUnitTraining / OSUT
 
Today, Mon 13 July 2009, in Anchorage I made it through the final phases of MEPS / military entrance process station processing and after taking theOath of Enlistment, along with several other militaryService bound young people, I was given my "Package" papers and my flight Itinerary and alas,  was NOT Given any meal voucher checques to WriteOut,
 
theShippingAdvisor / Taxi driver to theAirport told me, us PriorServicemen, that "you prior service are on your own for food".
Uh... Ok
 
Now I sit at "UncleTed's!!", TedStevensInternationalAirport in Anchorage awaiting my flight Out of AK and onto Atlanta,
Wow, it's going to be a long flight.  I'm traveling to WTC & OSUT with a couple other PriorServicemen, as far as I know, we are ALL fullTime ActiveDuty.
 
I'm so excited to be here and taking advantage of this opportunity to serve my country (again!!, as I WAS a Navy ParachuteRigger 1990 through 1995), and now, hopefully with this 2nd enlistment into a more forward duty station I'll get to be in Combat when, wherever I'm stationed with whatever Unit, it's my turn to head to Afghanistan or elsewhere in this world.
 
I'll hop Online when I can but for now, I plan on not going online within the next 4 months.
After I get a permanent dutyStation then I can settle in somewhere.
 
take care everyone.
 
lovs,
theSam!!

Poop Moose Has Bottomed Out!!!

theSam!! says: I found this story online. And it's sad.. *lifts head and eats* to see that a true Alaskan cultural icon like this has to FALL by the wayside. And ann... *lifts head and eats* I see these items in stores all over the place too. We even got one. But the niftiest thing was theCollapsible Alaskan Outhouse. It was like,,, a puzzle. And you'd assemble it and stand it up. Then an unsuspecting person (preferably someone that ISN'T Alaskan) comes along and see the cute curio and grabs the tiny Outhouse door to peek inside and...... *Crash!!* ...the whole set up collapses. Anyway, on with theMoose story. I mean... *lifts head and eats* at the height of this guys success. which for a REAL Moose would be about 5.4feet considering that the...the.. you know.. Drops out the.... But to scale these items down to 1/11000th scale that means theDrop!! would only be 5" give or take a millimeter. *awkward silence.....before lifting the head and eating some more* I mean.. at ...

Institute Director Resigns from the Mormon church

SHOOTING THE MESSENGER By Ken Clark I need to admit up right away that I’m a little bitter. I feel lied to and used. The church had every opportunity to be truthful from the time my wife and I took the discussions to the time we left. Out of the Mormon Church My wife and I left the LDS Church on August 7th, 2002, the same day that I resigned as Institute Director of the Pullman Washington Institute of Religion, and the LDS Church Education System (CES). I had worked full-time for CES for 27 years. I’m also a former bishop, high councilman, stake young men’s president, high priest’s group leader, ward mission leader, ward young men’s president, and more.

I couldn’t take it anymore. They were not crazy about my teaching style. I was honest in a gentle way with institute students about the church’s history and ...

Alaska Village Tales

This is from theAnchorage Daily News, online edition, which I'm accessing at 0512hrs on 01 Sat 2007 Murder over $20 in drugs nets 75 years in prison ALASKA DIGEST Published: September 1, 2007 Last Modified: September 1, 2007 at 01:50 AM FAIRBANKS -- A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for shooting another man twice in the head over a bungled $20 marijuana deal. David Cox was sentenced Thursday in Fairbanks Superior Court. Cox went to trial in February on charges of first-degree murder and evidence tampering in the death of Gary Lee Titus, 22, on July 22, 2006. But Cox pleaded no contest to the murder charge before the case went to a jury. Cox's attorney, Susan Carney, maintains that Cox drew his .22-caliber handgun and began firing because he thought Titus, who was accompanied by six or seven other young men, had planned to rob him. Prosecutor Jeff O'Bryant said that Cox meant to kill Titus in an act of bravado. A tattoo on one of Cox's forearms s...
