my 2nd Furlough....

G'day all I am still alive and kicking.

I am still doing a lots of surgeries. damm I am so tired.

anyway I am fine and doing well.

me holding PS skull... :)

and my fellow medics.

I wish I can show more photos bt... others are all bloody and that. (you dont want to see that) hahahhahah

TIme is over I'm back to hospital...

I have to say I thought 10 day away from Army will re-charge my inner energy and rest but NO I am more tired now then before, maybe because I was busy meeting familiy and friends. 10 days is too short I have to say. it has been raining alot here its korean Monsoon season starting up.

anyway the time has come to go back to Army.

There were so many things that I wanted to do but I couldnt do it cuz I dont have time. I have travelled alot last few days mostly catching up with friends and families.

I have met people that for first time in 14 years many people are changed.

I dont know when I will be able to go on holiday again but I am sure it will be around december or november... by them I will be corporal/specilist anyway I will be fine.

wish me luck

Emergency patient Transport to Seoul

G'day all this is joe, I thought I was going to lebanon this month, but I think I missed out by one spot...:( damm it. I really wanted to go there!

anyway I am out of Army barrack for tonight, becase I have moved from orthopedic department and went into Plastic surgery department now.

I am PS medic now, and today some one got hurt bad in the face ( I hear he got his face blown by grenade of somekind, it looked pretty bad) so we transported patient to bigger capital hospital.

so here I am writing my blogg.

oh yeah a lot happend since my last blogg. We moved hospital to Ham Pyoeng... its very nice clean place just 40 min out of where we were in GWANG-JU.

a lots of things to be done in the PS department. I am coping well.

we got brand spanking new building so that bonus.

1 night 2 days in the city

G'day all I am stil alive and kicking, sorry that my last blogg was pretty sad. It was very difficult time for me last couple of months.

The army was asking me too much too fast getting used to the life of soldier.

anyway I am all back to normal JOe again still doing it with SMILE :) :)

Couple of news I volunteered for United Nation (UN Peace Corp), yeah I was thinking about going other country... there was applicatoin to be filled out so I did.

Our armed force hospital is moving into new building next month, and I wont be working in the orthopedic department but Plastric surgery. yeah I got re-assigned to PS department. yeah yeah what you thinking.. lipo-suction and removal of moles and botox hahahahha....
