Well, today was the third day of Work Center Supervisor class. It was nice. I don't really feel good, so I didn't pay much attention. Do you what it is like to only eat just a little bit a day? I do, I have been doing it for 2 weeks now, trying to get my last $20 to last until the perdiem check comes. Still haven't got it. It has been a month and a half since our last perdiem. I am now out of money, and it still hasn't come in!!! If those jackasses in the payroll office would get off their freaking butts, and be more consistant with the perdiem, we wouldn't have all this crap. You can't use the government travel card for food, so you have to rely on the perdiem money. I am so mad right now, I am about to go complain to the CO, and tell him what I think about the navy. I want to so bad, to tell him that this is the most f---ed up deployment I have ever seen! Boy, here I am trapped in these damn barracks with all these people, nowhere to go to have private alone time, (unless you're a chief or 1st class of course, they have their own hotel room,) and I can't even get food money! I have to keep borrowing from my friend. I don't like doing that. I am sure glad that my contract is up this year, because I want out!!!!!!! Anyway, I am sick of this, and when I get back, I will probably go back into the National Guard. At least they had their crap together.
Love you all,
Brett

That was interesting, no?
How about this:
Brett Fenton
There are 11 letters in your name. Those 11 letters total to 49
There are 3 vowels and 8 consonants in your name. What your first name means:
French Female Brit. A native of England: (Britain) or France: (Brittany). In literature Lady Brett Ashley was the heroine in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.
English Male A native of Brittany: (France) or Britain: (England). Derived from the surname Breton or Briton, Brett and Bret became popular first names after 19th-century US writer Bret Harte. Brett became very popular in Australia in the mid-20th century.
English Female Brit. A native of England: (Britain) or France: (Brittany). In literature Lady Brett Ashley was the heroine in Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises'.
Celtic Male A Breton.
Your number is: 4
The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.
The expression or destiny for #4: Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.
If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.
Your Soul Urge number is: 7
A Soul Urge number of 7 means: With a number 7 Soul Urge you are very fond of reading, and retreating to periods of being alone and away from the disruptions of the outer world. You like to dream and develop idealistic understandings, to study and analyze, to gain knowledge and wisdom. You may be too laid back and withdrawn to really succeed in the business world, and you will be much more comfortable in circumstances that are tolerant of your reserve, your analytical approach, and your desire to use your mind rather than your physical being.
You are very timid around people that you don't know very well, so much so at times that casual conversation and social situations can be strained. You tend to repress your emotions to the extend that some people have a good bit of difficulty understanding you. You tend to be very selective with friends and you don't easily adapt to new environments or to new people very quickly.
The negative traits of the 7 include becoming too much the introvert and isolated from others.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
An Inner Dream number of 6 means: You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.
Does that describe me or what?

upset
Well, here it is, saturday. Just another workday. I am really upset right now. Our battalion says that we need to have cohesion, but they are doing everything to contradict that. For one thing, they move the officers and chiefs (who are just enlisted.) off base, along with most of the first classes. And then they also say that they want small unit leadership, but again they do everything to contradict that too. they say that the second classes need to step up and lead, but the first classes and chiefs don't reprimand the second classes in private, they do it in front of the lower ranks, which then makes the lower ranks lose all respect for us. They figure, "Why should we listen to that second-class when he is in the same boat as us. " And another thing, the chiefs, who are probably a peon on the outside, say, "now that I have this anchor on my collar, I am somebody, and I am going to treat everyone below me like sh@% just the way I am treated at my civilian job." That doesn't do anything to build morale. As a matter of fact, the battalion is probably going to loose a lot of guys when this deployment is over. And another thing, they are taking their time paying out my perdiem for this month. I am running low on money. And another thing, they want us to get the Government Travel Credit Card, but we can't use it for government travel! I'm just glad I can't get one. Then I don't have to put up with all the crap surrounding the card.
Well, if you couldn't tell, I am pissed off. Well, talk to you later.

FATS
Today we went to the FATS trainer (Fire Arms Training Simulator.) It was really cool. Apparently Dusty is really taking my deployment hard. Every time my mom goes to start the car, Dusty starts crying because he thinks that she is leaving him home by himself. I talked to Dusty and reassured him that His grandma loves him very much and she won't leave him. I think that helped. I asked him if he misses me. He said he did. I told him that I love him too, and as soon as this deployment is over, I will be coming home to him. He was real happy to hear that.
Best regards,
Brett

Dusty
Well, when I called the house yesterday, Dusty answered the phone. When he heard me he said "Hi dad!" then excitedly he told me that he was the student of the week. I told him that was exciting, and that I was proud of him. He said, "Thank you." When I asked him what he had to do to earn that, he said that he had to count from 1-100, name all the days of the week, and all the months in the year. Dusty is in kindergarten. Well, I think that that is exciting.

hello
Well, here it is, tuesday the 15th. How are you guys? Well, I found out that when we leave, we will have to sign a 30 yr gag order. We will be doing top secret stuff in undisclosed locations. You may not hear from me for days at a time. But, remember, no news is good news. At least in the military. If something happened to me, The Navy would contact my Parents in person. So, if they don't hear from me for days, and get no word, that means that I am alright. Anyway, I probably won't be able to talk about very much of what I did. It's not that I don't want to, it will be because I can't.

friday -pt day
Well, today we have PT. I think I overdid it on my sit-ups on Wednesday. My stomach muscles are so sore. Well, I am happy today. Anyway, I worked out again today, and yesterday. I will be taking two days off to give a chance for my muscles to heal. Muscles are pretty much the only part of the body that gets stronger when they heal. Family day will be in February, I am so excited. It will be about 1 week before we go wheels up. (depart to Kuwait.) Well, got to go.

Thursday
Well, yesterday we had our Physical Fitness Test. I did pretty good. I am working out everyday with a person that is a coach on the outside. I am building up my muscle mass. My muscles are so sore. But that means that the muscles are building up. so anyway, I am taking a crewleader class this week, which means I might be in charge of a building project. I am studying for the advancement exam, and if I pass, I will make my rank permanent. I will then qualify to take the E-6 exam next February. That would be cool. Become an petty officer 1st class, and then maybe a chief after that. Chiefs in the navy are pretty much like officers. they have major responsibilities. They are also treated like officers, except you don't salute them. Well, talk to you later.
