• Hmm....  I'm not too sure what the heck the army's doing with my DA 4187.  The civilian lady told the battalion pac clerks that I should have new orders for Germany the week of the 16th.  Well, we can plainly see that didn't work out so well.  Let me give you all an insight to what's going on.  The last week of July I recieved orders to report to Germany by today, and I had to get a deferrment to have enough time to clear and take pcs leave.  I did a 4187 and was told I am allotted 60 days from my report date to have this much needed time.  Problem?  It has been almost three weeks and no new orders are cut.  Am I trouble?  Nah, the army knows I'm not AWOL and I speak frequently with my sponser.  Is this a huge mess?  Duh!!!  What do I do?  Same as I've been doing, sitting around and waiting. 

  
  

  I sure do love the army but not when it comes to paperwork.  What I'm wondering now is if my orders will be deleted and I'll be forced to remain on (gasp!) Fort Carson?  That right now is a fate worst than death.  Not being the usual whining complaining soldier, but this post is seriously messed up and I signed my contract with the assumption that I won't remain on the same post for more than three years.  I sure do hope everything works out.

  
  

  In brighter news, Lisa has gone to PLDC to become the best nco she can be.  She's already tops in my books, but seriously all ncos have to go through it and it's her turn.  She'll do well no doubt.

  
  

  Elisa and I made up and are thinking about going to California for Labor Day and just lay on the beach all day long.  I've never been to Cali but am really anxious in going.

  
  

  Other than that the world is still turning, but who knows for how much longer?  To those of you affected by Hurricane Charlie, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

  
  

  God bless and take care,

  SUBMISSIVE

  
  

  Everyone wears a blindfold

  
  

  hands and feet are braced

  
  

  We're given food and water

  
  

  but no one likes the taste

  
  

  Our fears are exposed

  
  

  and no one hears our screams

  
  

  What happened to the world?

  
  

  We used to care

  
  

  and now are we numb?

  
  

  Our neighbors are our enemies

  
  

  and we dictate our children

  
  

  The love is now gone

  
  

  but it didn't leave

  
  

  We have been submissive

  
  

  to the real estater of Hell

  
  

  We have allowed him acess

  
  

  into our realm

  
  

  What can we do?

  
  

  Have we lost?

  
  

  Turn to God

  
  

  He will set us free

  
  

  Turn to His Son

  
  

  and be healed and sin free

  
  

  Feel His love lift us up

  
  

  and break our binds

  
  

  He'll hold us in his arms

  
  

  His loving children

  
  

  and take our fears away

  
  

  He'll cast Satan down

  
  

  to the bowels of the earth

  
  

  and Jesus will reign

  
  

  We will be happy again

  
  

  and love will return.
