Use the force...

Wow. I don't think I've posted since Tonga. So, here is what has happened since then:

Left tonga.
Flew to Fiji. 
Flew to Hawaii.
Flew to Marshal Islands. 

I know that doesn't sound like a lot... Haha. I kid, I kid. Some of you didn't even shower in that spam of time.

During that time, I was really blessed to deal with super stupid Soldier issues. And by "blessed," I mean "burdened." Unfortunately, my battle buddy had to cover down on these, since I was away from the ship. 

It's always something with these damn Soldiers. One was hit for sexually harassing a female, one for underage drinking, and I have one with way bigger issues. It's always something. You NCOs out there know what I'm talking about. 

Fiji wasn't as amazing as I have always thought, but i stayed in the very touristy part. The hotel was niiiiice. Nice beach. 

Pictures! 



Boss bathroom! 


Nice room! 


Bonnet de douche


The pool/beach at the hotel.


Play Freebird!!!!


I want one of these in my house!!!!


Yikes!!! Looks like a tumor with teeth.


Read this quickly. What's it look like to you? 


I'm sure these are delicious...


Explosions in the sky in Fiji. 


Fire dancing


We asked our cab driver about strip clubs on the way to the airport. There were none. So we settled for a bar, called Ed's Place. 


That's ED! 


Piss trough at Ed's. fancy! That's marble! 


Killing me softly...


An advertisement for where we ate lunch. 


This is the woman making sure nothing bad comes into Fiji. Notice she's looking at her iPhone, not the screen? 


Take the vest off, Fogel, you look like Aladdin. 

Okay. Onto the trip to Hawaii, for the next leg of the trip-


Sunrise from the plane.


Nice bed, I'd say, very nice to spread out in a king size. 


Sushi for lunch.


Korean ribs for dinner! 


Fatty had a cheesecake! Cheesecake factory, of course! 


Sunset from Waikiki beach. Sweet baby Ruth! 


Street preaching.


Coolest surfboard ever.


I saw these guys playing on the street. They're a real band, an they are so good. They are called Streetlight Cadence.

Okay, so we got up at 2:30am to be on time for a 5:30am flight. When we got to the Marshal Islands, we needed to get out luggage. Here's the baggage claim...


Yeah. That's a cooler.


The mainland is garbage. But the outer islands are beautiful. See for yourself. Well go on! 



We snorkeled in this. It was amazing! The water was so clear, we could see the bottom at thirty feet. 


This is the sign from the island we went to. Pretty cool. It's only inhabitants are one family. 


This is some type of fruit. Wild.


Marshal Islands do NOT know how to do taco Tuesday! 


It says it's special...


Looks on the up and up...


Restaurant and Mini Depot! Get your curry and your home improvement/scrap metal needs in one stop! 


Don't forget to gas your cassettes! 


I helped the Air Force take down their tent. Silly manufacturers... 

Last picture- some of the beers I've been enjoying...



So, that's about all of the pictures I have for right now. 

I have been doing some static weight and body weight workouts. I'm currently working overnights, and that kills me, so I'm not hitting as hard as I should. Am I making excuses? You betcha! 

But yesterday I did static weights: bench, flys, DB press. then I did

10 burpees
10 push-ups
10 gobbler squats
10 pull-ups
20 DB push presses

3 rounds

As far as music, I'm listening to a lot of Iron and Wine, Damien Jurado, coheed and Cambria. And explosions in the sky. 

Take care.
