First Offical Blog

Today is Wednesday. Another day in a long week, in a long month. I am not here in Iraq for long and thats great. I am proud I am serving here, but I also feel very lucky for having this type of deployment. I am very safe and secure and I don't go out and run missions. I am sure many other soldiers who have deployed would have wished to have a deployment like this. The only thing i think many other people who deployed for a year are/were happy about was the large sum of saved money they had once they got back. I wont have as much but still a nice chunk to save. So i have to keep reminding myself when i feel lonely or i feel mad or upset about something here, that I have it easy, and people who have deployed with other units will see this if I talk about it back home.

As you can see my header on the top of this blog, I have created. I have been learning a lot about Microsoft programs and other third party programs. One of these are Photoshop. Photoshop is NOT easy to use, and I have downloaded and watched many many tutorial videos and still i forget the commands and methods to create graphics or just edit any picture. But that is my first real creation! I hope that o can keep on practicing and if its cheap enough I will get a MAC and get the Adobe Suite CS4 and learn more about editing videos and sound and photo's.

This brings up another note. I think its good for anyone and everyone to learn more about computers no matter how old you are or what u do for a career. Computers are the future and everything will eventually run off computers and the internet. So its a good idea for everyone to learn as much as they can.

I guess thats all for now
