DAY 106(it's been awhile but i got good news)

Well today I found out that I was selected for AZ2 which is awesome. I officially become AZ2(AW) on Thanksgiving meaning I get pinned with my wings and I get frocked for 2nd which is kinda a cool day to be frocked seeing that I took my test for AZ2 on Sept 11. I also passed my EAWS(wings) Board on Nov. 10th which is the Marine Corps Bday which of course I am not a Marine but I thought it was kinda cool. We only have a couple more days 12 to be exact on this wonderful Island in the Ocean know as the beloved Kearsarge or if you are anyone besides ships company(people stationed permanently on the boat) we like to call it the Queerbarge. It seems that this cruise is going by slow but I know as soon as I set foot of the helicopter back in Norfolk I will realize how fast it went by. I mean I have come along way on this cruise. I made 3 out of the 3 goals I set for myself which were 1) make AZ2 2) get my wings and 3) enroll in college. So, I am very happy with myself but that is all the good news for now. I can't wait to get home and enjoy(no sarcasam) the cold weather with my family and friends.
