Orders

Jake's orders have been cut!!!! He checked MOL today before leaving and said something like 'wherever I get based it's something like J93294j.....' I was half-asleep, but it was some code for the base and it had a J and some numbers. Now we just have to wait for that info to be disclosed to us!
Jake's school is 16 weeks long, not 6 months. I just assumed it was 6 months since it's a twice-yearly school. I was wrong. So the boys and I will not be going up with him. We will go to the duty station. We will most likely stay in Va until that time. There is a guy in Mike Co who has been here since graduation (about 5 months ago) waiting for the next round of schooling to start and he's headed up there now. I think it would be nicer to go straight to our duty station. There are two other Lt.s that got Aviation Supply as their MOS and they will both likely want West Coast as well. As long as Jake graduates with better grades than them he gets his choice of duty station before them. Those chances are good because both of them are females :) And Jake is ranked up in the top of the top third of the company (122 students?).

Some of the duty station options are Key West (wooo!!!!) Las Vegas (woooo!!!) Cali (wooo!!!!) Yuma (wo!) and Alaska (boo!)

Jake has told me about several political conversations he's been a part of at work. Mostly it's from a Captain who got a full ride through college (rich parents) and the military paid for his law school. He really likes Ron Paul. Haha.a So Jake here's me talk about politics at home, then goes to work and hears about politics there too. He's surrounded by raging politicos! Hahaha. I think that's so cool. Jake's SPC also is a big fan of Ron Paul, and this guy is not a fan of anything! I actually don't know that he isn't a fan of anything. I haven't met him, but he just seems so odd. And he has a very dry sense of humor. Any way. The troops are talking and they support Ron Paul. Why don't you? Ron Paul, with all his crazy, insane, irresponsible foreign policy ideas gets more campaign contributions from military members than all the candidates (including Obama) combined! What does that say? It says that no one is understanding the seriousness of the matters other than Ron Paul. He takes his oath to defend the constitution seriously, and so do the men & women in the military (although if they're out fighting they obviously don't take it seriously enough, but that is between them and God).

This is a long video. It is thorough. The second half gets good, talking about the spending, the wars, the housing crisis, etc. Which Ron Paul predicted. He predicted it way back when. Everyone thought he was crazy. Like Noah. Although Ron Paul didn't get his message from God, he got it from understanding economic policy, foreign policy, and the constitution.

don't watch the end after the video is over, the guy just wastes your time :)
