Fallon, NV

I have a quick minute so here is the update of my time here in Fallon, NV..
First off, I thought Yuma was the worst place as far as all things being brown and consisted of nothing until I flew in here.. Town is about a 20 minute drive and consists of 10 casinos which are made from old Denny resturant buildings, a few gas stations/banks, and a wal mart which is their mall (I asked where the mall is, you know me)
We flew in on a five passenger plane that picked us up at the door in Yuma and dropped us off at the one in Fallon, talk about VIP! We then got our rooms which are actually in a hotel with a maid, what a good cahnge of pace! I sound a bit spoiled right..Well we are. Here I am actually doing my MOS which is building bombs and we are working directly with the Navy. Talk about being spoiled.. Back in Yuma we build bombs on the ground using all hand tools, the Navy uses all pheumatic tools and builds on assembly tables.. When we got here they told us that we should build the way we will in Iraq but of coarse we are like thats okay, lets learn your way, haha.. we are bad! The Navy is pretty fun to work with, theres always the rivalry jokes which makes it even better. Anyways, we are working just about the same hours as back in Yuma and still making our own fun at night. We go to the liberty center just about everyday to play on the internet, watch movies at the theatre inside, play pool, air hockey (I always win, thanks to the table in our basement), ping pong, and pool (which im not so good at, dang) Last weekend we went to Reno: started at the mall which didn't last long seeming i was with 6 boys, then we went to CircusCircus and finally made our way to a local strip club called Fantasy Girls, of coarse I was the only female non stripper there, good thing I am a fun girl! hehe.
Well its Friday night and we are about to get some dinner then go see American Gangster and probably drink and play cards. Sunday we are looking at going to Lake Tahoe to do some snotubing for the day (free for military) Should be a good time!
Its that time for me to go pick up the rest of the crew and head out. Did I tell you i'm driving a 12 person van? You know i'm pimpin in that!!

How do they do Christmas in the Corps?

Christmas in the Corps is nothing special or any different. Families do volunteer to take in Marines who cannot go home and so single marines can use that.. otherwise just get together with those you work with, your friends, or in my case my family cause im lucky and celebrate it your way!
