well theres been a few frustrations about the mission to go to afghanistan. There's a lot of people that dont seem to know a lot about the history of afghanistan or the war thats going on today. Yet everyone seems to have an opinion about why we shouldnt be there! Well im not going to rant even though it would be too easy to do! On a different note, im lucky my family is so supportive. Even though i have to ask them to get a passport ready incase something happens to me, they know (or i think they do) its just a procaution.
Its funny to me, but i wrote what i call a death letter. a letter that i kept for my family incase something happened to me. I was cracking jokes threwout it all. Not that i think my death would be amusing but because i needed it to be light hearted. I love my family very much, i hope they take the same approach i took when i lost my mother. I feel so lucky to have her with me as long as i did. There is never a right time to die, but i believe when its your time, its your time! I think anyone thats been to afghanistan, if they didnt believe that before they probably do now. How many flukes there have been when people seem to cheat death and then theres freak accidents.
Anyways on that note my friends better have a party in my honor if i die! make it a huge party and have a shot for me, or 2 or however many,lol! My family, be happy because its probably a painles death and you'll have another angel looking over you (well i know im far from an angel now, but you know what i mean)!
I am going back so quickly but i have long ago accepted how the military works. Its hard to maintain friendships and for a lot of people to maintain relationships! (glad to say that i dont have to worry about that kind of dramma this time around)!
This time is going to be different though! I cant explain what i mean by that but what i can tell you is that it probably means i wont be able to say much!
Its so sad, both sanora and justice have said in there little voices..... dont die! Im not worried about dying over there, but i hate the thought of kids that are still so innocent feel that they have to say that. Know what i mean?
my fav part about parcels are getting drawings or pictures from the little ones! plus healthy food! i imagine if you read my earlier blogs you would understand why.
anyways thats all i can say for now, ill give more updates as i go on!

sorry its been a while, but im going back over again, however im going to start with a blurb on my training
hey,
i got back in April as you could probably all tell, i went to miami, whitehorse, regina, brooks, kimberly, jasper and banff. I bought a condo and a car!lol so i was a busy girl on my 2m of leave! nevermind the neverending events with rugby!
i got back to work june 11. and by the end of june i was gone to start training to go back over again! so its been pretty crazy!!!
i played rugby yet again this year and had a blast doing it! plus (since my condo was an appt conversion and in dire need of renos) i spent the summer painting and renovating.
I spent 2m in wainwright for more work up training in the fall. 2 weeks later i was on a plane to germany!
WOW is all i gotta say. The gunnery system is fairly simular to the system in the c2 plus the germans were used to training conscripts. so it was pretty max relax and a lot of beer and food tasting!!! i became friends with an awsome group of girls!!!! we met almost every night at the sunset bar and shared toooo many rounds of 1 euro shots!!!! it was crazy and i got a beer gut in result (lol im still trying to get rid of it!)! the food was good, the scenery was awsome and the people were even better! so i cant wait to go around europe with my sister, gena!!!!
now i am back in Canada, spent a really good christmas with my dad, gramma, pat and her family!
now im back to work and back to preping to go to afghanistan.
As you may tell its been really busy and with very little time in edm! Well thats a small summery of my time back in canada!
