Last day (In the Military)

Well today is the day. I finally outprocess the base and I am done wearing my Pickle Suit (Green Uniform). I can not say that I did not enjoy my time in, if that were the case I would never have stayed for 10 years. But alas its time to move on to bigger and better things in my future.

So as of 0900 today I am free to do a few things such as:

1. Let facial hair grow. (Sounds funny but I rather like myself with a goatee and I think I am going to grow one)

2. Let Hair on my head grow. (Although I have become accustomed to short hair I now have that choice.)

3. Work out and exercise when I want to. (Probably should do that more I guess.)

Thats just a few things. Even though I am through I know that I am part of a club that not everyone else has, I am a veteran and I have seen my fair share of stuff over the last 10 years and had I not joined who knows where I would have been. I think I made the right decision.


In Other news.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is in full swing, or at least it was for the first 2000 contestants. The field was whittled down to 650 so they could end their night sometime after 2AM. There are a number of PokerStars folks competing something like 20%. If your not sure what Pokerstars is, it is a online card playing site that gives more than enough chances to get a buy in for this tournament. The entry fee is $10,000 which is a considerable amount of money, not to mention the hotel, air fare and everything else. But when someone wins on Pokerstars they get it paid for. The last 2 previous winners have been Pokerstars spokesman and I am sure if someone from Pokerstars doesn't win it this year they will be close.

Some notables that I believe are in the tournament.(I say I believe because they have not released names or chip counts yet.) James Wood, Jennifer Tilly, and Shannon Elizabeth(Yes the chick from American Pie).

I have heard that you can hob knob with the celebs there watching as well as playing and I think next year I might be making a trip to Vegas to see what its all about first hand.

Well I must be getting ready for my appointment so I will end with this....
