THE BEST DAY ON THE PELELIU..INSPIRED BY AHOUANTO......
 Today , was my birthday and I had a chance to leave the ship with my good body master P, not his real name , but one of the coolest guys I ever met in the Navy. He's a hard working , but laid back Californian dude. He often gets over used and taken for granted. But never the less he's a cool guy, He helped take care of many things today and gave me great advice about things. One thing I know life is hard and when you make mistakes , you suffer the consequences, Nobody ever intends to get in trouble but sometimes circumstance and human emotions can make you choose the bad choice. But one thing for sure I learned that , be patient with things and be wise about what you do. No one cares more about your well being than your self. But like anything in life , we live and learn. 
 My buddy , I kind of felt for him because of paying the $16.00 dollars a day for parking I made or requested my buddy , go to the local store downtown and get quarters and every 2 hours put in coins in the meter, yea,, it sucked it was cold , raining and slippery out there, but my buddy did it , and he also took me to lunch at Jack in the box ,, in Imperial beach.. He took care of things I needed done, what a supervisor , mentor and friend. I also realized he had troubles in his life and still remains upbeat.. I mean , I thought I did wild things. BUT LIKE he said. " you live and learn " and adjust to whats afforded you. I know now that the past is the past and the future is up to me , I know I should of done something else, but at times the human emotions and feelings dictate your decisions.. 
 Bottom line , the time off the ship was a nice relief and my correction of my issues was the most important tasking today. But it was fun to see all the girls or women look at my buddy , who took off his jacket and showed off all his shiny medals and glamorous looking watch. I not gay or anything , but he looked pretty sharp. It was fun waiting in the waiting room checking out all the attractive ladies , theres was one that was tall , nicely shaped body and a pretty face , short hair , but she was beautiful nevertheless , he did give us a show with her posing and showing off her features. But what was the most coolest thing was my buddy making me feel comfortable and relaxed and opening up telling me stories about his troubled past , made me realize , people can change and have too. I now know that mistakes is part of the process of growing up , and I will put my hardships away. I know it wont be easy because reputations and image can be destroyed faster than you can create them. Its just how life is, people remember the bad things first or last , instead of the 99% of good deeds. But thanks to my mentor and friend I feel like on my birthday ... I have been given a new start in my life and career, and though its not going to be easy , I know my buddy will assist me overcome my feelings and thoughts about life and career. I had a memorable Happy birthday with a supervisor and friend that was open , honest and truly concerned about my well being .. Thank you mentor and may the holidays bring happiness and good will.
