Whale's Inside

Deciding to do something my last weekend before I fly out the States, I was invited with friends and thier family to SeaWorld in San Diego, California. Beware of Gift shops... I purchased a stuffed Penguin. Because we all know penguins will take over the world. And for all you polar bear lovers who say no. Think about it this way. Polar Bears can only eat so many penguins. Eventually the Polar Bear defenses will be over run with hundreds to thousands of penguins.

Its official

I got the offical word. Feb 23, Im flying out. Here's the hops
Yuma - New York - Germany - Kuwait - Iraq

I also hear I get to bring my rifle on the plane. Heh, take that airport security.

Disneyland!

So Yesterday I check into my New Duty Station in Marine Corps Air Base Yuma, Arizona.

No more than 10 minutes of meeting the big chiefs they asked if I want to go to Disneyland. So of course with joy I shot my hand up in the air.

Anyways, I leave in 17 days to Alasad Air Base, Iraq.

I'll be doing convoy security. So I get to play groundpounder for 6 months.
checking for IEDs and stuff.

I even hear they have a Burger King and Starbucks out there too..

Anyways after I get back I plan to come home for 30 days. I try my best to bring back pictures.

Hard Drive Calculator

I wrote this in Python. Its a simple calculator. Enjoy : )

# Print the formula

print "The formula for calculating Hard Disk size is: "
print "(Sector Bytes) x (Sectors) x (Cylinders) x (Heads) "
print "*note the industry standard size for sector bytes is 512"

# Input section

sectors = input("Please enter the Sectors: ")
cylinders = input("Please enter the Cylinders: ")
heads = input("Please enter the heads: ")

# Calcuations

sectorbytes = 512
bytes = sectorbytes * sectors * cylinders * heads
kilobytes = bytes/1024
megabytes = bytes/1048576
gigabytes = bytes/1073741824

# Print the results

print "This the Hard Drive size"
print "bytes: ", bytes
print "kilobytes: ", kilobytes
print "megabytes: ", megabytes
print "gigabytes: ", gigabytes

PCS

Well, looks like my days are number here in 29 Palms. Somehow I'll manage. Finally Graduating Communications School. Not too shabby I completely slacked off hardly study and I'm leaving with 93 percent GPA....
Anyways. Looks like I'm going to Yuma, Arizona. I have feeling i'm going to be seeing the same old stuff here. Rocks, Mountains and desert. I don't about you but I'm already tired of sand. Anyways I'm moving this week.
