BREAKDOWN

MARCH 2014 “Jackson, in my office.” That was my LPO. I aint know what he wanted, but from the tone of his voice, it sounded like I had did some stuff to piss him off.

“Yea boss man,” as I walked in.

“A, they sending a team up to Bremerton to rip up two ships before they get scrapped. You wanna roll up there for a few weeks TAD and make some money?”

“HELL YEA!!!” I told him.

“Cool. I’ll let Senior Chief know so they can cut your orders.” I was on a high like never before. Man, I had never been anywhere else on the West since I got here, so this would be refreshing for me. About an hour before I got off, boss man gave me my orders. I was leaving on a Monday with about 20 other cats from the ship. It was a Thursday, so that gave me a whole weekend to get prepped and everything. I looked up Bremerton on the internet to see what it was about. From the looks of it, it didn’t look like much of anything. However, I knew that looks could be deceiving, so I paid it almost no attention. I hit up Star later that night on the ship’s mess decks to let her know.

“So what about my birthday weekend?” Damn, that shit had completely slipped my mind.

“Well babe, I mean, they asked me and I said yea. Don’t take it personal. We’ll just celebrate when I get back in two weeks.” What the hell did I say that for. The look in her eyes said “Really nigga.”

“You know what….have your trip. I’ll be aight.” She flicked her hand at me and walked off. I was in the dog house I know, but she would be aight. I just chalked it up for what it was and continued on with my night. Man, women were so emotional I thought. I was so glad I was a man. Every holiday, birthday, made up holiday had to be celebrated by them. For men, give us a drank, a TV and maybe some strippers, and we were good. Flowers, candy, poetry and whatever else romantic I could think of was in my thought process, as I knew making up and sucking up would have to be instituted upon return. I went off to my berthing to head to sleep, figuring out how I would get it in this weekend. Friday rolled around and the work day went by without a breeze. Star wasn’t talking to me, so I figured I would get out and about tonight. I booked me a hotel room at the hotel down in Chula Vista again so I wouldn’t have to come back to this floating piece of ass. I hit the room about 4:30 after gettin it in on the court for a lil while. I showered up and was taking a good nap when my phone rang at 6:01. It was my homey Sleep from the Boot.

Me:“Sup nigga?”

Sleep: “A mane, what you on tonight?” Me: “Dunno yet man.
