» payday loans

By China at 12:49 PM

I just got a call from my big brother who is a Marine stationed in South Carolina at the moment. He only calls me when he has big news or when dad goes to the hospital again. Dad really likes his woodworking now that he has retired and has nothing to do with his time. Unfortunately for dad his coordination and reflexes were much quicker when he was a much younger man. So anyway, my brother called and he was not calling about any news on Dad. HE was actually giving me some bad news about what his plans are for the next few months.

The conversation began a little more upbeat than it would eventually go. HE told me about all of the crazy parties and interesting new experiences he was having down there. He is currently getting more training all the time because he is an infantry soldier. This means he has to constantly train and that he also constantly parties with his platoon buddies. I was not surprised at all when he told me that he was the one who was usually throwing the parties because in high school it was the same way. That was where I learned how to throw the best parties ever. He also told me about how a couple of buddies in his unit got in to some big trouble with payday loans. He explained to me what the free payday loans were and that he had used them when he had an emergency, but some guys took it too far. These two guys took out the no fax payday loans and used them to gamble with in the hopes that they would win more than the pay back value. Their plan didn't work and they are in big trouble now.

His conversation eventually did turn a little grim though when he told me the news. He is going over seas to be stationed in the middle east. He is not going in to a combat post but he is still going to be gone for a long part of next year. We'd been planning on going camping a bunch next summer so I am a little bit bummed about the news.
