Oh what a day!

Oh where to start? The beginning of the day wasn't so eventful but then again it never is. With the exception of Grace again for the 2nd day in a row getting up at friggin 0 dark 30 (at least 5am) when Ash and I are trying to get to 0700 at least. then she didn't want to go back to sleep of course so neither of us fell back asleep (even tho I did try sorry baby) but wasn't happening. Got up went to work came home as usual nothing to special with the exception of coming home. That is always a plus for me! The fun really started when I remembered about this lovely database that us RDC's use that can find any one anywhere no matter what branch they are in so I guess it was at work when it started. Anyway I found this kid that told Ash at work that he don't care if its a first class he would just tell them to F off. (them being me) And that really gets under my skin because we (RDC's) put a lot of time into training these fuckers about the ropes of the Navy and who to respect and kids like this are just here for a paycheck, they could care less about defending the country and it REALLY PISSES ME OFF. Well long story short this kid told Ash that he was a 3rd class OHHHHHHH NO buddy hes a FR (Fireman Recruit an E-1 the bottom of the totem pole) and he has the balls to say he would tell a 1st class with 12 years in the Navy to fuck off!!!!! Bring it, Ill show you the Boatswainsmate side of the fuckin fence you little prick.:) me hostile NOOOOOO just don't stand for disrespect to my family or me. Moving on someone had posted something to a comment one of our good friends put up on a FB status post and then Ash had gotten into it with her so of course I had to put my 2 cents in lol. People really don't know what us RDC's put up with at all and that is what really hurts. We take these kids up to 88 of them in one division and force them to sleep in different environments, what i mean by that is taking different people from all over and putting them together in one place for 8 weeks and telling them this is what you NEED to do and this is how you NEED to act. When they don't we need to break them of the "This is how i used to do it" and turn them into well disciplined basically trained physically fit sailors. Its time consuming when I was "on push" it was a 18 to 20 hour day 7 days a week! No bullshit. We don't get paid enough for what we do. we get the thugs (or the ones who think they are) and have to turn them into the Navy way. So for someone to say "that's not a nice thing to say about them, how would you feel if that was said" type of crap. its just GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Now on to the most important part of the night, As most of you know Ash started working last week as a waitress and has been busting her ass. How do I know? Because its my wife and I know she would not do anything less then the best she can. She is dedicated to everything she does, has a huge heart and just loves knowing she can accomplish something. But the place she works at isn't really the best place and they are cheap ass's, I feel bad for her she can not catch a break people aren't tipping as much as they should or not at all. Come on now every one who is anyone knows how hard it is to do that job. Don't you flippin people know that she has 3 others that she waits on hand and foot day in and day out. She has another 24X7 365 day job that she is the BEST at and its called being a mother.. so for people just getting food cooked for them and delivered to their table or "hey can you get me a beer", or putting up with insignificant pricks that hit on her all night even when she tells them to back off (in her own words) then you don't tip.. FUCK YOU get your own fucking beer or food is what I would tell them. I love her to death and would do anything for her but I feel so weak that I cant fix this for her. If it at least paid a little better it would be ok but baby you don't get paid enough for what you do and unlike my job you can quit. I don't know how many times I have wanted to quit but I cant and that hurts too. Just knowing what I am missing out on every day (when I am gone) kills, but it also makes me great full for the time I do have with this great family we created together. I think that is enough for tonight. Night all and thank you.

    Thank you baby... I know I dont get paid enough, but honestly, even if I was bringing in twice as much, it would be enough to make up for the time away from you. Its not that I LOVE the job or anything, I just like having something going on for me, you know? I get to raise my family durring the day and then get drooled over at night, hahaha. I just hope you really know how much I love you and no matter what any of the idiots say to me, I always have you on my mind, EVERYONE knows Im married to the best man there is because all I can do is talk about you and the kids, and I come home to YOU everynight. I know its hard for you to swallow, but I really appreciate you putting up with it and letting me do this for me :) MUAH!! xoxoxoxox
