Just Another Oiler

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Like most of us in this world, I have been educated in the School Of Hard Knocks... PHD (Piled High and Deep)Learned many lessons and had to learn a few of them more than once. I've done a lot of things and I've been a lot of places now I'm just an oiler and I'm happy with that. So long as I keep the faith all will be well!A few of you have asked about the background symbol on my site, so i thought that I'd take the time to let you know what it is and what it represents: 1st Battalion French Foreign Legion Para's (They have been disbanded in the 1950's due to a coup d'etat attempt concerning Algeria) The symbol is still used and very familliar with "professional soldiers" world wide. "The Arm is for Strength; The Wing is for Speed and Stealth; The Sword is for Deadly Force: And the Ring is for ETERNITY!"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Travel to exotic places, meet strange and interesting people and... Oh yeah, that was then and this is now! ha! Nope just folks that have the same interests, and even if they don't... doesn't matter. Just for today all is well.
