GPP Kind of Weekend


Saturday, my brother and I went for a walk so I could show him around Bremerton. We shot the shit and thought of good times and the days when we had to live in bad apartments, climb over fences to play baseball in somebody's parking lot, and playing hide n' seek in abandoned buildings - - - we were raised in the inner city, so the burbs are a big change. 2.5 hours later, we had walked so far that I had to call my wife to come get us:) About 5 or 6 miles.

Today, we went to Hurricane Ridge and with sore legs from yesterday, took a long hike. Ever see a mountain from a distance? Hurricane Ridge is like almost being there? That's him in the shot.

Oh...I miss the mountains....I need to get back west ASAP! :) Sounds like you had a good time with your brother. Where did you guys grow up at? Just curious.

Newark, New Jersey. Inner city. Started in the ghetto, gradually moved on up to slightly better places, and the Navy took me away from there in 1993. Good times.

I see. Never been to Jersey. Been to DC and that's about it. What do you do in the Navy if you can disclose that!

I am a Personnel Specialist First Class (almost like Human Resources on the outside), as a Navy Reservist. My civilian job is Military Pay Technician at Submarine Base Bangorm , WA.

I see. I know someone that used to work on the Sub base. That was about 10-15 years ago. He had just graduated High School and joined the Navy and ended up there as an engineer I believe. I am currently taken a Human Resources class..BLEH!

Next to being out in the open ocean, it's the closest to touching the hand of God as one could get without donning a flight suit or an oxygen tank!!!
