Everytime I think Im done They keep pulling me in again!!!

I was at a point in my life where I was about to give up on my current job, although I am extremely proud of what I do I just felt that after 10 years I was not going to get to the next level of my career and get forced out due to stagnation in promotion. I started to go to school to get my degree which is something I am going to complete anyway, I started to look for jobs in the civilian sector and started to make contacts to keep from deploying to Iraq for a year just then WHAMMMO I get selected to Staff Sergeant!!! I really don't know what to feel right now, I am still in shock I don't know if I should feel good about myself or pissed off for having to wait so long for a promotion that should have came a year ago. I kind of feel like the Marine Corps has the same sense of humor that I do and likes to just keep me on my toes. So I guess I am going to give my beloved gun club another 4 years and see if they can make either a Warrant Officer or a Gunny out of me before I hit the big 20 year mark. by then I will be 43 yrs old and in my eyes too old to play save the world anymore.

Is 2022 the year that the Xbox Series S true intention shows its head?

  When you look at the Series S you either see an underpowered mistake made by Microsoft or you see a well-made move by Microsoft in making a next gen console for the low end. When I look at the Series S I see something much different. I see a purpose-built device that has been re-purposed due to market expectations and internal resources not being where they needed to be in order to be for the device to hit market as intended. To this day I think the Series S was built to be SOLELY a streaming device. Why do I think this way? Well, it is fairly simple. You only have to look at the specs of the device, which practically scream “I’m a streaming machine!” and some of the things that Microsoft themselves have said about the device to have similar thoughts. Let’s start with the specs, shall we? I am not going to rehash the spreadsheet because that has been done to exhaustion. I will just say that other than practically having CPU parity (it is clocked a bit slower) everything els...

Back To School..............Again

I meant for this to be my first post but oh well. I decided to go back to school at the ripe old age of 33. People normally think you are never too old to learn and I tend to agree. Other people ask WHY ? why are you going to school again you are so...OLD!! well I have many reasons one of which is that my Marine Corps career while still enjoyable wont last forever in fact if I dont get promoted again soon I will be forced out of my beloved gun club and I need to brush up on my skills so I can be use full out in the civilian workforce. Another reason is that I want to finish something I started back in 96 and that is the pursuit of my college degree. People who know me know I am always talking about going back to school and getting my degree and my certs ( MCSE , CCNA ect ) I would like to think Ive influenced at least 1 of them to go out and do it their selves . Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

Im back and on a mission!!

I am back on this thing to try to help my Mother in law get a new car as her old one needs to be taken out back and shot! To do this I am trying to use Dodges Dart Registry to raise the funds. Hopefully this works because it seems to be a good way of raising money for someone who deserves it. If anyone is interested here is the link http://bit.ly/V9njoh
