I'm stationed at Camp Lejeune North Carolina, working out of the preventive medicine clinic here. Just an ordinary quad zero. How did I get so lucky?
My friends here are amazing, but I've all ready met those who I'll talk to now but probably won't talk to again unless I see them somewhere else.
In all reality sometimes I don't even feel like I'm in the Navy. It just doesn't seem real what I'm doing right now. I think it's more of a dream right now.
I've been in for 7 months and it seems the only thing navy related that I've done is where my uniform and go to school. And theirs nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong at all:)
I enrolled in school, I'm going back and I'm super excited.
I've got friends leaving on deployments and all within the next 6 months, and that scares me. But that's just apart of being in the marines, or as a corpsman for that matter. Actually anyone in the service.
You know I look around Camp Lejeune and I see a hell of a lot of marines, but I also see alot of Navy, mostly corpsman, and then I see a few army people, mostly of the officer type and I wonder to myself when will we blend? When well we all become a group of one? There will be no more Navy, there won't be an Air Force, there won't be any Soldiers, and there won't be any marines. And then I think to myself this can't happen, this won't happen. This is why we have groups so each can do their own thing, if it were blended we'd all be doing the same thing and it wouldn't be special anymore. You know what I'm saying?
I've missed writing, but I haven't felt like I've needed to write, or maybe I've just felt like I've had nothing to write about.
So I guess I can tell you a little about the barracks life, it's litteraly all it's cracked out to be. We don't have kitchens or anything of the sort. I've had two roommates within a month because of the fact that for most of the people in the barracks its still a training environment so once they leave for FMTB, or once they move to a different location, and then it's normally a day or a week and I get another one. It kinda sucks ass. Just saying.
