Shifting winds, changing seas

Going to go ahead and sidestep the usual apologies and excuses for stepping away from the blog. Short story is shore leave is awesome, and awesome guys like me have little time to kill, jotting down thoughts in an online blog, nobody reads.

Well, that's not true in the slightest. I lost my appetite to blog and drifted away from it. Today was the first time since the last post I've visited the blog and I was amazed at the number of hits. 2 thousand is adorable compared to mediocre sites, but this was intended for family and friends to spy on me while I was saving the world from Operation Sandbox 1.

That being said, I realize I barely touched the surface of Afghanistan and there is nothing about the last 2 and half years that I've been in Tampa. This post is intended to catch anyone up. If you're new to the blog, welcome! For those that visit, time to time, wondering why the hell they keep visiting a dead blog, no worries. Your patience has paid off.

Funny thing is, I'm leaving again. Not from the blog. But from Florida. The time to change assignments is upon me and I am actually headed out the door next week. Truthfully, I'm actually blessed to leave. Though I much rather remain in Florida, my career in the Navy was almost cut short and I was lucky to continue this crazy ride. Due to personnel cuts, my current job was overmanned and they were letting us loose as fast as they could. Another long story short: I'm changing careers. The good news is I get to let anyone reading this in on a different part of Navy life. Underwater baby! Harry's going subs.

So next week it's the 18 hour drive to Connecticut and a year in sub school. Going to be different and challenging, considering the lifestyle change and being back in a school setting. Speaking of which, I am going to have to cut this short, as I need to finish up packing and getting my apartment ready for the move. No worries as I plan on continuing this after all. Previous failures be damned, I will share my story with the world, despite the World asking me to stop calling. Plus those damn restraining orders always make these things tricky.

Tune in soon when I go over my adventures in Afghanistan, what I've been up to in Tampa, and how my road trip goes. I also plan to expand on what I blog about. I'm still me and I still have my hobbies. Probably will review some games, movies, rant about politics, etc. Till then. Later, shipmates.
