Today I'm suppose to have gone to one of the high schools in the area to discuss with their principal whether or not I can observe one of their classes. Its for a course I'm taking in college. ED-192, observ and participation, or something like that. This week is the last week for the observations and I still haven't schedule one. Oh... the pressure is on! Besides that I also have the engineer ball coming up. Another great opportunity for enlisted personal to get drunk off their minds. And like the natural idiot I am, I will go to and drink. Even though I have ZERO alcohol tolerance... Zero... funny.
I'm still working on the revisions to my fanfic. Coming along well. Chapter 3 should be up and ready to go. While denim take cares of the editing. Hopefully all of it will be done before the end of the year and I can continue to produce new chapters. Hopefully everything will be in line by the time the revision is done and the major plot premise won't have change. The two brothers will rise and meet foe face on! No longer will they turn their backs on family and friends! They will continue to fight! To struggle! To live on to the very end! Yeah... those lines are going in the next chapter. Well thats it for the random rabble! Later!

Warning the following blog contains language and is really disorganize viewer discretion is advise or something like that.

We had to pick the place with a rebellion going on for our next mission. Great, and what's worse is the fact that the host country isn't even bothering giving us the equipment we need to do our job right. 3000 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and 6 inches deep of concrete all poured by hand with no goddamn equipment besides some shovels and wheel barrels. -sigh- 40 of our guys plus 40 of theirs... and then we have the 18 days to do it in... I thought that would give us the edge but nooo... the freakin place where they're making us sleep at is a goddamn hotel nearly 4 hours away from the project site. Un-kittenin-believable, that takes away 8 hours from our work schedule! This is what happens kiddies when you join the Army Reserves, kitten happens. Shouldn't complain though, its not like its Iraq or Afghanistan. Moving on.
Oh yeah! Gamestop! Those bastards screwed me over! Today I was suppose to playing World at War! But what did they do? -starts to imitate the manager which is his best friend's sister- "We release it 3-5 days after it comes out" I think this blog is good for stress relief... Never mind about that.
College is... well, the same at least. I'll be starting my paper next week for english. And then I have to observe my high school for my education class. My friends still hang around and goof off but that's how they always been. For my paper I have to write about a 'place'. Place could mean anything, location, economic status, racial status, ect. So I thought, that the best place is of course my second home of Tokyo. I've been there four times already. It's the best place I could think of thats important to me. It's my dream. To one day live in Japan. Yeah, that sounds about right. My next trip is scheduled for next summer so hey, if any of you has enough money, come along. I can be a good tour guide. Well, thats it for now. Later.

Kay, boys and girls, its that time of year again and we're in the final stages of planning my trip for... JAPAN! I'm so excited. My 4th annual trip, man how time flies by. Now this trip is going to be a 6 day visit. My first three will be challenging since I'm planning on climbing the legendary Fujisan. Now, I've probably done some hiking in the mountain area on Guam but we're talking about 3776m/12388ft. Hope I don't die. My next three will be in Tokyo of course. And for all you Eva fans I can't wait to experience Evangelion 2.0 in a theater, I'm afraid I might freak out from my excitement. Then I'll be hitting up this summer's Comiket. We're talking about THE EVENT for otakus. And finally I'll be ending my trip with a good wholesome tour of Akihabara, my paradise on all anime/gaming goods. With a side order of a performance by AKB 48. This will be my best trip ever.
Now needless to say this trip is gonna cost a hefty amount. So, I'm currently working on earning that money. Once again my unit is on Annual Training, AT, status and its sucking some major balls. I mean we have no mission that's related to what engineers should be doing. We're gonna re-qualify with our m16s even though we already had qualifications this year. And to top off this suck fest we're doing Warrior Task and Drills, WTD. Joy. Its a pity I can't express my sarcasm on the internet.
That's about it on my side. I'll have more to share about my trip once I get there and there even might be some videos coming along. So, till next time later.

Two more days... And then I'll be back in the action. Tokyo. Now its highly regrettable that my plans for climbing Fujisan has been deleted. All of the hotels and hostels around Fuji have been booked. So the three day stay in the area has now changed to a six day stay in Tokyo city. The schedule and cost have been a hassle but I've somehow managed to sort them all out. Another unfortunate event is that AKB 48 won't be hosting any shows during August. Well, I'll just have to make the best of it. Comiket is still my number one attraction for this trip followed by the Evangelion movie and lastly the Gundam statue. More updates soon...

That aside, gotta admit this: my screen nearly drink my water when I see Gendou's cosplay. Dang, there aren't many people who can pull off Gendou that well.

Now this entry is something new to me since we won't be talking about my travels. It's a more personal blog cause I'll be talking about what's been going locally. So let's get start off with today's topic.
MHG. It is the name of my friends group. Formed around the single unifying thought that resonates with the name, maybe I'll tell you about it one day. From MHG there has spawned two filming circles, Old Guys Productions and Magicant Productions. I work deeply with Old Guys Production, chiefly as a writer, actor and the group's local military consultant. The Raid was our first and so far only script driven piece and will be until The Raid 2 is finished. The Raid was mainly a chance to see if our Old Guys could work with a script because everything up to that point had been improv. It was a tedious process designing the script but in the end it was enjoyable. I hadn't really written anything since my break from FF.net nearly 2 years ago. It was a spark that I hadn't felt for so long. After we finished with The Raid, I went to work for it's sequel. Another first for Old Guys. We're still in the production period so I've been really busy. Not too mention that Cata came out but I'll talk about that later.
The two experiences with script writing has lead me to an idea that I've never really took serious till now, and that's being a mangaka. I've gotten my three friends involved as well as they're all excited about trying it out. I'm in charge of story and creating the basic storyboard. My friend Drixie then takes the storyboard and draws the characters and polishes the paneling. We then hand it off to our friend Josh who will take care of backgrounds. The last person who sees it is Schneider who'll finish up with the tones and any lines. It eventually gets scanned and the speech bubbles are added at last. At least that's the idea I'm not done with chapter 1's storyboard yet. It's really hard coming up with 20 pages while reading a script. But I'm confident that I'll have it out before the week's done. I hope you guys will support us as we premiere Gonal in the near future.
That's about it for this log. Next time I'll be talking about Cata, the military and maybe even some of the stuff we do while filming. So till next time, later.

Haha, you're a screen-writer now? and a future mangaka, huh? talk about taking your hobby to the next step. Go for it, bro. I'm behind you all the way. Besides, me and my best friend has been talking about being a mangaka ourselves in the future. I make the story, he gonna draw the scenes. Thats why he's taking up some local mangaka jobs lately.

This is gonna be one of those rare occasions where something happened and I need to talk about how awesome it was. Now over the past weekend my unit pulled drill. What was fun about this drill was that it's main focus was a training exercise called "Defend a Convoy Against a Ground Attack". Being either the driver or gunner gotta be one of the most fun parts of this exercise.
We started off pretty slow for a convoy pace. Usually you'd be hitting around 70mph which is supposed to be normal. However, because of the intel that we got my plt leader played it safe and kept the convoy at a slow distance up till the first IED. After the IED was spotted and confirmed we backed up around 300meters and then peeled off into a open area to form a cigar formation. After the IED was cleared we then proceeded with the mission. The lead vehicle then spots another possible IED and the orders come in for the convoy to stop. We then back up again without fully confirming it. While that happens opfor appear and attack the lead vehicles. They return fire WHILE backing up. Crazy. Afterwards the decision is made to push on through. My gunner is so stuck on his sector of fire that he completely ignores the enemy on the left while facing his right.
Now I'm the fifth vehicle, and my TC is our plt sgt, so the majority of the people in the humvee were thinking, "we're definitely gonna get hit." That wasn't the case and instead our plt leader's vehicle got hit which was the third vehicle. Behind it was a LMTV which stopped and tried to open comms with the down vehicle. While my humvee is parked behind it with my plt sgt waiting on comms tp assess the situation. Then we got hit from the right and not only does my gunner's 249 malfunction, the damn bolt pops out as soon as he tries to find out what wrongs with it. So we're sitting there with no gunner atm, and what do we do? My sergeant rolls down the window and returns fire. Now the simulation we were going with was that we were in up armored humvee. I mean the humvees that are fully enclosed and need an ac for it. So technically the window isn't suppose to roll down. What we should've done sooner was to pass up a weapon to our gunner so he could return fire. The LMTV in front of us decides to finally pull up to the side to assess the down vehicle. We form a box formation and get the vehicle up and running. We then wait again on the LMTV in front of us to get moving since which takes a while and this puts nearly everyone, myself included, pissed off at the fact that we're still sitting ducks. Finally arriving at the FOB we quickly form up, secure the area and call in the reports. Overall a fun experience but something that the platoon needs to improve on greatly. But our instructor says for a engineer company, "not bad".
Overall it was a very enjoyable battle assembly and we did a lot of cool stuff. Can't wait to try it again.

I can imagine your instructor going *face palm* when your sergeant roll down the window to shoot. For some reason I keep imagining your sergeant trying to do that in a real humvee and can't stop snickering about it

still pretty darn funny though if it really happen, like... he's trying to roll down a non-existent window after taking out his gun. I would pay to have that video cammed in real life situation
