FINALLY THE WEEKEND!

Well its finally the weekend, and for those who read this know that its been a rather looooong week.  My, Mr. Monkey, worked all week on getting my GRF (global reaction force) packing list completely done.  This included two layouts, multiple house of packing and unpacking and almost another $100 spent on stuff.  This layout was the brain child of our new SGM to see how prepared his battalion was should we get called.  The layout was scheduled for 1300 on Friday afternoon, and you guessed it, SGM wasn't there at 1300, nor 1400 or ever 1500.  Finally just after 1600 our 1SG came out and did the layout for us.  


THE NEW WEEKEND AHEAD OF ME:
There is a ton to do this weekend, most important of which is to hang out with my lovely wife Mrs. Piggy!!  It always amazes me how well she puts up with my long hours at work and some of the stupidity that my job entails.  Then we also have to go pick out a frame for the awesome nativity scene she made out of paper for my mom, which means Target shopping!  We both love that place.  While were out I might drag Mrs. Piggy to an afternoon movie date, to make up for my tiredness last night. Then Sunday will be the catch up on the house work that I put off on Saturday to hang out with Piggy.  I gotta mow the lawn, pick up all my army mess, clean the tub, some laundry and clean my kitchen.  Which its awesome that's all that needs to be done, because my awesome wife had done an amazing job keep most the house work done during the week.  


NEW JOB THAT STARTS MONDAY:
I'm not very excited about giving up my team leader spot to become the RTO aka radio man/PLT bi$%h.  I feel like I have worked my ass off to earn the things I have in my PLT, including that promotion that still hasn't shown up, and I am gonna lose my spot because some new SGT is coming to us and has to go into that spot.  Normally not a big deal, but they have already told me he has no light infantry time at all and will be learning as he goes.  I may only be a PFC, but I'm older, more mature than most and light infantry is all I've known in the army, I know my shit pretty well.  Well enough venting, the one upside to this is that I will learn a new skill set to have in my back pocket and to teach my Piggy when she gets back from training, cause even though our jobs will be very different, everyone uses radios!!


Well that's enough typing for me, I'm gonna go tend to my wonderful wife Mrs. Piggy now!  Thanks for listening.
