Joan Mann Special Sports day

Joan Mann Special Sports Day is a different type of day then what must USAF Bases go thru. They day is sponsored by 100th ARW RAFM & 48 FW RAFL. It is a day when British and US (within the are) nationals with mental disables come to play games. It is just like Special Olympics back in the States. This is different b/c Britain does not have a Special Olympic type program. It was an amazing day. I went with my friend from Tinker who also works here at RAFM. The joy on these peoples faces are so unbelievable that pictures could not show all the emotion that there was. I was amazed at what God can do. I did not want this event a self-seeking event to make me feel better about myself. I wanted to make it the best experience for the person I had. God did it. It was not about, I won nothing. I only get great memories and an EPR bullet. That is no big deal.  The people that were actually here to have fun had fun and that is worth more that an 5 EPR.

Another late night addition to The England File

It is another late night even since I have to be up in 3 hrs but any ways. Tomorrow morning I am helping at an event that it similar to the Special Olympics back in the States. I really do not want to it because I feel the reason I am doing it is for a EPR bullet. I need EPR bullets but I want bullets to come with an event in which the main reason is not for a bullet. I am going to pray to God that he can make me do tomorrow for the right reasons and not for my self glory. It should be fun but I am a little scared because I do not know what to expect. Yesterday ended the first week of ISO. It went well but not great. I was really not involved with what was going on and I feel like my supervisor was telling the other guy on the jet that I was not going to be a good crew chief. I should not care but this will effect my career in the Air Force if I do not met his standards. It is not what I really do but what the people who are in charge of me thinks about me. It should not be this way but it is.

So today I decided to sue the devil for all the hardship and getting in my way of praise God. I think this will work out well since Ernie Chambers thinks he can sue God. He really does not have a case but God judges on a different scale than humans and plus who says God does anything bad on the plant. It could be how the plant functions or God allowing the devil to destroy places. It is not all God fault (if it ever was).

Well it is so past my bed time and I need to sleep. cheerio mate

ISO! U SO! Everyone hates going thru ISO!!

ISO is what I am doing right now at work. ISO is a abbreviation of an inspection that military aircrafts go thru. It is basically take apart certain panels so the can inspect for problems. It is preventive maintenance (or they say). These next two weeks or so are going to be hard spiritually. There are some many topics that I can not enough talk about. My new supervisor has already say that he has no morals (I to do not have morals, I have God's morals). This all comes as I try to get break my addiction to pornographic items. It is hard working in a environment that everything that is talk about is something I am not trying to do. The worst part is that most of the times, I can not leave the area. Anyway, I turned my part for my history class. It was my the Puritan religion fell. I said that they lost the faith in God and in turn lose his grace (as a religion not people).

Today I read a blog of a friend for Oklahoma. It was powerful. The friend wrote about the change she since her last birthday. It was was a little bit of hope that I need to help break this prono addiction that I have. It is hard since have had the problem since before high school (I should graduate college next year). The good thing is that the Chaplain that is mentoring/teaching me is helping me out. Please pray for the change. It has been hard the last couple of weeks. That is all folks for now. Stay tune for more events and pictures.

It is Sunday Morning

It is Sunday and I have not slept at all since 1000hrs Saturday. Put in the since that time, I did lose my Nalgene and bought a 20 pounds small RC Helicopter. It was fun to play with. It is already broke. It fell out of the sky a lot. After that, I did my normal Saturday actions. After my bible study, I would goof of for 4 hrs until the Nebraska/USC game.  I would come back to my room to start a paper I tired to write while watching the game. So now it is 0815 Sunday morning and church is in 1hr 15mins. I will stay up until around 2 or 3 PM. Well it is time to read my Bible, and pray. Later everyone.

The First Real Post

This is it. The first real post on this blog. I am writing this one from the confounds of my loud dorm area, where the drunk think they need to yell when they are only a few feet from each other. Well today being Friday is the last day of my work week. This week was a 10 day on, 1 day off, 1 day on, 2 days off. Then I work twice on Monday (YEAH!). 2 shifts with 36 hrs (or 1.5 days). This is how a crew chief in the Air Force is treated. So work went fine, went to sleep, was waken up by some one at the door. Normal now I sleep during the morning and afternoon time frames. At 1800, I went to class. Today was an extra class b/c of Labor Day. So today was the midterm. I did ok, I think. The essay part was not to bad and the align the events in order was a little tricky. The last part is where I was in big trouble. It was define events, people or terms. That was not fun. I guess an about 5 of the 12 and the other 7 where not that specific enough (again what I think). I took the test in about 30 mins (which I was thinking was too fast, but I was always writing something down). I should find out about the test on Monday, so stay tuned to the blog for events.
