I called Sally, gave her the flight number and told her I would be arriving sometime between six and six-thirty that evening. I made the gate with som... minutes to spare and boarded shortly thereafter. Settling into my seat, my mind drifted back back to the deployment a year ago. ****************** DECEMBER 2016 – THE DEPLOYMENT ONE YEAR AGO After arriving back in Norfolk just after three in the morning, I went home and crashed until around noon. When I woke up I saw my cell phone was loaded. I live in Illinois so I liked to take my car out in to farmland to open it up time to time , well this time I was way out in the boonies and decided to get out and stretch a little after awhile it started clouding so I headed back to the car . I get there and the car won’t start (SOB) so I get out to check the problem and it starts to pour I’m getting fire no fuel , fuel pumps out . So I hit the flasher get on the phone can’t get anyone shit , so I sit and wait . As I’m waiting a truck pulls up. Chores on a farm many times while we were unloading and bending made it easy to see the beginning lines of that interesting set of but cracks.Milking cows with Milker2000Chad and I just finished milking the cows which we did with this unique type of device that we attached to their utters; pressed a button and in seconds instant milk flows out the tube and into the large tank in the factory. Chad and I had been working since 5 AM so we were getting quite tired with it now being 1 PM it was time. Now that I had Jack and Jill to work with, I was going to get out of my two classes as easily as possible. What I'd like to do is drop out and have the records torn up, just as if I'd never been there. As far as I was concerned, I got out of it exactly what I went into it for. A job and a chance to show what I could do.I met Jill the first night we had class. It was Tuesday night, so that means it was Excel. I walked in there nervous, wondering how I was going to fit in, how well I was going to.
