Projects, Projects, Projects.

So I went into my recruitment office yesterday for my thirty day.

I did my pee test, pregnancy test, and i studied for my PFS for a little bit.

And I came out of there with 2 projects and a lot of recruiting information.  

Go ahead and ask me, Ready, Set, Go.

I swear every time I go into that office I laugh so hard, I lose my voice the very next day!

Best in What! The west!

Okay so onto my projects I have to put a power point together of the different kinds of ships and Airplanes!  This is going to take me a while that's for sure.  

And I also have to organize the display board with all of the Future Sailor pictures.  I'll take a picture of the before after and in between's <3

I'm baby sitting again today, but when she goes to sleep I'm cleaning my room and starting to pack and repack my things.

The first things to repacked and packed are my books, 

Then I need to decide what clothes I'm not going to be wearing in the next month and pack those away.  

I need to check out the whether too, anyone know what the whether in Illinois is like in early summer?  I need to start packing my bag for A School.

There's so much that I have to do!  YIKES! 

So that's what's going to happen today.  And maybe the movies if my friend ever texts me back. 

Thing 2 says bye and she loves you.

Are You Ready For This?!?!

1 Month and 3 Days, until BOOT CAMP!

Yes I said the magic word!  Boot Camp!

I fill out my thirty day today, and I'm super excited!  I can't believe that it's been 4 months all ready.  I remember feeling incredibly grateful, and ecstatic and beyond great when I signed my contract, and that was in September.

And now the time has come.  The time has come for me to become all that I can be.  I know that I'll be physically worn when I get there and I probably won't pass the first PT, but all I can say is I'll try.  But I'm super excited to get as far as I have without quitting without saying I don't want to do this anymore.

Let Me just say this number once more!

1 Month, and 3 days!
____________________________________________________________________

So Let me update you on my life.

I've been babysitting alot!  I still need to pack my things up, that's a must before I leave.
I've discovered how much I'll miss my family when I'm there, but no matter how much I'll miss them, I still don't feel welcome in this house.
I cooked an amazing Pot Roast last night.  It was the first thing I put in the crock pot ever so I'm way excited and after that I've issued myself a new Challenge!  But we'll start that in August and hopefully I can do it for the rest of my life!
I've watched several really good movies.

I've got a question for you bliggity blog ladies!

How do you get all of the things for your blog?
I'd love to make my own layout and button, but I have no idea how to get it and everything!  Plus I'll shortly be changing my blog name after boot camp to A SAILORS JOURNEY.

Dreaming

Today when I was in the shower I was thinking to myself, What I want to do with my life, where do I want to go with it.
I've decided that after my first deployment, I'm going to go back to school and become a major in political Science and a minor in either biology or some sort of language.
And then by the time I'm 65 I would have saved millions upon millions of dollars.  Okay maybe not that much but if I become the U.S's youngest Ambassador then that's always a possibility.
My best friend who is going to be a world renowned scientist and I are going to own a cheatau in France, and a Villa in Italy and we're going to have a second income from our wine that we'll make from our Villa.
I wouldn't be surprised if my shipmates gave me the name of Dreamer.  I'd sure live up to it!

It's Scary...

When you hold someones life in your hands.  

I recently discovered that my ex boyfriend has been smoking a lot of dope,

seeing as we're in the Navy about to go to boot camp,

the Navy has zero tolerance for drugs, and zero tolerance for alcohol if under the age of 21.

So what do I do?

Do I tell the recruiters and ruin his dreams of going into the Navy?

Do I talk to him about it although I'm not sure he'll listen?

Do I tell the recruiters and in the process help him?

I don't know what to do.

If I tell Petty Officer about it he's out.

But if I don't and he gets in then I could be risking millions of lives, even if he's going in as a cook.

So what do I do?

What do I do? 

What do I do?

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out.  ~Thomas Babington Macaulay

4. My books.

5. My TV Shows, it's a good thing there's internet in this world that's all I got to say!

Ever Notice...

How the world seems to revolve around certain people in your life.

How one person can make you smile.

How one person can make your day by doing the littlest of things. 

When everything bad seems to happen all at once, someone can always make you smile again.

How babies make everyone smile, just because they have the power of cuteness.

How little girls will always like barbies, and boys will always like cars, for me hopefully the girls will like cars too!

How cartoons just get more and more stupider until they aren't even funny anymore!

How we reminisce about the good days but we never live in the present.  

How we start planning our Christmas list that week and new things pop up a week before Christmas?  I still want those Hungry Hungry Hippos!

That the people around you will always care about you, even when you screw things up unintentionally.

So how's that for a new layout?  I had fun with it.  I'll soon be in the United States Navy as a full pledged Sailor, but until then...

Future Sailor Peters signing off!

Future Sailor Peters, Thing 2, and Thing 1 wish you a very merry Christmas!

Mele Kalikimaka Everyone!  

3 Months, 1 Week, 4 Days...

Then my new life begins.

It's as simple as that really.  In 3 Months, 1 Week, and 4 Days, I'll find out whether or not I'm strong enough to be a United States Sailor.  I'll find out if I have what it takes to be apart of the greatest Navy in all of the world.  I'll find out if I can wear that Uniform so many of my family have worn, whether or not it was for the U.S Marines (my father, and cousin Greg), The U.S Army (Grandpa Urb on Dads side, and cousin Brandon), U.S Air Force (Grandpa on moms side, and Uncle Jesse.) And I think I have friends and family in the Navy as well.

In 3 months, 1 week, and 4 days, I'll start a new chapter of my life.  A chapter where I can begin finding myself, and who I want to be.  A chapter in which I can find out if this is what I want for me.  If it is I'll enlist again, if it isn't then I tried and that's what it's all about.  I'll start a new chapter where I am Me and my country are my number 1 Priority.  I'll start a new chapter, the main chapter in my life.  The chapter where it's just me and although my family plays an important roll in my life, they'll be my background characters.  They'll be there supporting me, but this time it's just me.  Maybe that sounds conceded but for my entire life It's always been the four of us recently(such as last year) we've added on my favorite baby cousin Thing 2.  But for my summer, and my fall my life has been revolved around these 5 people. And now it also revolves around my boy friend.

He says he wants it all.  he wants to marry me, he wants to grow old with me.  But I'm not ready to sign my life away to that institution.  I have to admit that I'm scared.  I'm scared and that's not an easy thing for me to say.  It's easy to dream about being together but I just turned 19! I can't even drink legally.  Some people you know can do it just fine! And I'm not saying they can't.  I'm saying I want to live my life first.  I want to go out with the girls on the weekends and be able to drink and have fun with the occasional flirt and not worry what's my husband going to think about this?  I know I'll have to tell him this, but I can't tell him yet.  I can't bring myself too.  Before we go to bootcamp!  Promise.

I can do this.  I'll start working out today.  I'm going to have to start waking up way early to go on runs.  But I can do this, I know I can do this.  I know I can.  So why am I still trying to figure out if it's real?  Maybe because I know it won't be real until I get there.

If able to please go Mrs. Good Night Moon, she's my favorite Marine Corps wife.  I go to her page almost everyday just to see whats going on.  Also if you want to understand the life of a Future Sailor turned Sailor please go to Ms. Sailor Taylors' page.  I promise you'll get your laughs in!

A Great Way to Start off my Birthday.

I'm sorry I'm going to complain.  this is the only place I can complain where my family won't see it  well because they don't check my blog, so it's my safe spot.  I don't have to watch what I say on here like I have to on facebook.  If I say one wrong thing my Aunt, my Mom, and My little cousin lets just call her thing 1 jump on my back about it like crazy!

Well anyway, todays my birthday as seen above and instead of getting happy birthdays when I wake up, I get thing 1 turning over my blanket, which I'm sleeping in to find her phone. 

What are you doing?

Looking for my phone.

It's by the TVgo away.

So she grabs her phone and I go back to sleep.  Second thing I hear is her on the phone and her mom speaking clear as day through the SPEAKER!  I can allready tell she's going to be one of those abnoxious people who have their cell phones on speaker in the resturaunts while their eating!  But it wasn't the simple I love you mom kinda call it was a call over hair products!  So you know I yell "thing 1 cna you take it off speaker please some people are trying to sleep." And in turn I get "I don't like holding it up to my ear, and Mom said to shut up Keith(Aunt's boyfriend) is sleeping in the other room!" And so I move to my moms room thinking I won't be able to hear her as much, and she goes into the bathroom calls her friend and YALA!!! I CAN STILL HEAR THEM!  Rayahni still has the speaker on and I can't sleep anymore. 

I'm about to go on the computer when Thing 2(thing 1's little sister) starts screaming 'thing 1, thing 1" over and over again. So I get up and grab her, grab the computer, and go out in the living room where I get even more attitude. I get just stop talking all readys, I get drop your attitudes, and I just say I'm allowed it's my BIRTHDAY.  I don't know how many times I had to say that and she finally got the message where she says "Happy birthday."  I get more enthusiastic birthdays on Facebook thank you.

Well that was my complaint of the day!  Thanks for listening.

Issues of the day.

Once again, there's no motivation to get things done.  I have 4 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days left till boot camp. And honestly adding the months and weeks in there is a lot better then just counting the days.  The Days just make the time go by slower.  Right now it's right around the corner.

In the past week I've had love problems, I've had so much fun!  I've had drama within my family but we won't be getting into that.  

Boot Camp is seriously right around the corner, and I'm not ready.  I mean I'm excited and I can't wait, but I need to get physically prepared for this, and physically prepared for the Career that I've chosen.

Onto this weeks issues:(

First off the Westboro baptist church that pickets outside of military funerals.  They hold signs outside of these dead soldiers saying that God is killing them because of the homosexuals, because we as America allow homosexuals into our country.  First of all we don't allow anything, they are the way they are.  They are what they need to be to be themselves, that is the life they want to live and we can't tell them anydifferent.  the wear shirts that say "GOD HATES FAGS!" and carry signs that say "THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS", or "THANK GOD FOR 9/11."  The pastor of the Westboro baptist church even goes as far as saying that he HATES JEWS, and that the Holocaust was a word starting with an M(I forgot what it was).

They are right however, due to the first Amendment based on freedom of speech, among many other freedoms they have a right to do this.  But there is a time and a place.  You can't stalk every military burial.  You can't hold signs forever.  In my opinion this is a form of harrassment.  

But out of something ugly always comes something good.

The second issue today is of Teen Suicide

Yes I said it Suicide.  Many teens are bullied whether or not it's at school, work, or the computer.  

Some people just can't take it anymore, they feel like no one can help them, no one can do anything.  I know because at one time I was bullied as well.  I remember only having one friend through fifth and sixth grade.  I remember a girl telling me how much she'd like to hit me because I was white using messages on myspace.  I remember a friend of mine telling me how ugly I was and that I had yellow teeth because I smoked and everyday he'd ask how the weed was, and that I was gay because I haven't had my first kiss yet.  And this was all before I reached the age of 14.  

My little cousin goes through it now.  Her friends tell her that Hawaiians are dumb, that she's fat.  And she believes it. 

 I have to repeatedly tell her that it's not true.  I have to tell her that it doesn't matter what people believe because we know what we are.  We know that we are important, we know that Hawaiians aren't stupid.  I mean how could we be?  We have our own dance, we have our own language although most is forgotten now.  We have had our own Gods, we have our own legends.  How can we be stupid?

I have to tell her that she is beautiful, that she isn't fat.   

We have to stop this now!  We can't allow it to stay, to haunt our children, and our childrens' children.  

You know everyday the political commercials come on and I see them probably 10-15 times a day.  And all that is bullying.  We tell our kids not to do it and they turn on the TV and they see that.  Why not instead of saying all the bad be like he/she has done a good job so far, but what I can offer is better.  In order to stop the future generation from bullying, this generation needs to stop.

Thanks for reading :) I think that this is a good way to the day and it gets the creative/debative forces going.  I'd love to know your opinions on both Protesting at Military funerals, and bullying.  Please feel free to drop an email.  I'll have more issues within the next couple of weeks to share.

Thanks again:)
