Estaba tratando de escribir este BLOG en Castellano, pero se me iso muy dificil... Como pueden ver mi espanol ha suffrido estando viviendo en USA por estos ultimos anos. Asi que lo van a tener que leer en ingles...

First i want to apologize for not having made it to our 5 year reunion. I saw the pictures on the Alum website and it looked to have been a blast. I'll be at the 10 year reunion and thats a guarantee. Correct me if I'm wrong, but its going to be some time in December 2008.

So Since I left in 1999, I lived in Pennsylvania for a year while applying to the Academy, and made it in in June 2000 (to graduate 2004). The Academy life was tough at times but in the end it worked out to the best. I was a Drill instructor in 2001 and 2002, and for my senior year i was the Regimental Commander (like Head Boy at the Mackay). The picture below is me addressing the regiment during lunch.














Senior year I also got a job at a Shipyard in San Diego, Ca. I started off in their Professional Development Program, became a Area Manager (in chage of the Engine Room for ships in new construction), and now I'm the Deputy Program Manager for military contracts. It's been a fast pace, but I've been learning quickly and making the best of every opportunity I've been given.

Besides working like a bangy, I still manage to enjoy what San Diego has to offer. I know you guys will consider this an insult, but I've become well versed in the Art of ceresa consumption... I do however long for the refreshing, savory , mouth watering taste of a piscola! I've taken a couple bottles back on my trips back (only 2 since 1999) ut those don't manage to last me more then a week... maybe less.

Anyways... I hope all of you guys are doing great. Give ma a shout or shoot me a line it you guys get a chance.
