Nancy's Birthday!

Wow, yesterday, May 28th, happened to be my five year mark with being in the Marines Reserve...well, five countries (and another one on the way for this summer!), four promotion,  three continents, two different infantry unit and one Operation Iraqi Freedom I (now that they phrase it with "I", "II", "III", "IV") later, well, it was not always easy nor was it always ideal (especially the first two years), but God has been good... 

Also, today's May 29th...

Which means,

Its someone's birthday...

It's my girlfriend's birthday!

Happy Birthday Nancy...

Anyone know where I can buy a jack in the box? That would be a funny gag gift.

Imagine that!

For those of you who read my xanga that knows "GIDEONRECON" and Nancy as Jimmy Li and Nancy in real life, let Nancy know that you wish her a happy birthday...

Congrats on five years! (and happy birthday to Nancy)

thought you'd like this Memorial day poem I did:

With politics aside today
remember those who give;
believing in the duty to
defend, that others live.

Remember those for ages past
who life's breath freely gave 
so weaker ones might freely live,
while soldiers earned the grave.

With feet of clay or steely will
so many've paid in pain
with loss of limb, or wounded soul
that tyrants might not reign. 

So; disagreements all aside
remember those who give;
believing in the duty to
defend, that others live.

"Greater love has no man than this; that
a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Jack in the box: Cracker Barrel! Just saw one there last week. They have a ton of novelty gifts. Old fashioned toys. If you have a Cracker Barrel there.

RYC: Casino Royale, 007, the New James Bond... Watch it, it is edge of your seat the whole way!

Happy B-day to your GF, though I dont know her.

No, sorry I'm intel.  I wish I could be infantry now, but the Army won't let me b/c of sensitive information and such.  But this summer is my last summer as an enlistedman.  I'm about to be a cadet... hopefully.  Wow, thats a lot of traveling for a reservist!  Good luck and keep in touch.  We may be different branches, but like my CO says, "One team one fight!"

*laughing*.... you and Nancy are the CUTEST couple in the world! i'll help with the b-day wishes by tackling her and you can take pictures.... or maybe you can be my back up! hmmmm.... 

it was awesome meeting Allan yesterday....i still think i freaked him out, but i suppose he'll get used to it eventually.... Nancy's survived 19 years with me, so i think we'll be okay.....       ; )

and i'm still happy about getting my future bro-in-law wet with that oh-so-wonderful water balloon! = P your phone didn't get messed up i hope...?

next time we do another outing i'll bring barrels of water ballons, so watch yourself!!!

thanks for checking up on apologetics and evangelism.... both you and Andrew called me and I felt so incredibly blessed and taken care of! You guys are looking out for us and I appreciate that showing of Agape love to us at koinonia!

take care (and i already told that woman happy b-day, so i think i'm covered)

Yeah...I think we're on the same page, politically, from what I read in your Xanga, but I wanted people of all opinions to be able to get past conflicting views in order to honor the soldiers.

blessings, Jimmy...Jim

Believe me it sucks.  Cadets don't understand what it takes to be a TRUE soldier.  ROTC cadets play Army and nothing else.  They treat everything as fun and games and not the real deal.  Frackin... dress it left, ate up uniforms, jokes about enlisted men.  I hate being a cadet.  I really wish they could just direct commsion me to an LT so I won't have to go through this bull. 

And I'm not looking forward to RE-gaining the respect of my NCOs.  Being an Lt ain't nothing but being a high-priced private.  Don't get me wrong though, some cadets are squared away.  Most of them are prior enlisted like me.  Our best cadet is a Special Forces NCO.
