This is not my first LJ. I created this after my old journal of 5 years stagnated. It became a dumping ground for only the negative things in my life.
So I'm starting over with this one. I want to enjoy LJ again- I made a lot of really neat friends with my old one and I'd like to do that again with this one.
I'm at my parents' home in Palm Springs right now; I'm on vacation. I haven't done much of anything in the last week, with the exception of a short trip to San Diego where I spent much of my misspent youth. So right now, I'm enjoying being away from the Air Force- away from the PT, the politics, the horrible supervisors, the 355th Wing, dorm life, the uniform, colors, ill-fitting boots and Tucson in general. I can pick all that up where I left off on Monday.

I mean, the transition back to civilian life has to be at least a little weird... got a job yet or are you going to go back to school?

I don't think it's really entirely hit me yet that I'm out of the military. Because really, I've only been on vacation since I left...I mean I'm on leave!! It still feels like I'm gonna go back to the AF, to a base somewhere....because it feels just like leave did before.
Only like I said, this time it's gonna be different and a LOT harder because I've been forced once again out of a comfort zone. Ugh.....hope this is the last time.
Other than that though, being back in the States is GREAT....but I will miss some things about Japan for sure. I've been destroying American food since I've been back though...and loving every single second of it. Happy New Year to you man....hope it's a good one for both of us!
