Joe

Originally from Pearl City, HI, but now a resident of Colorado after going to college there. Joined the Marine Corps and am becoming a Naval Aviator (Pilot). Want to fly the AV-8B Harrier (thats right, I WANT to fly lawn darts). Currently at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, VA (about 30 miles south of Washington D.C.) attending "The Basic School." This is where all Marine Officers go to learn to be provisional rifle platoon commanders since every Marine is a rifleman. Enjoying every second of being a Marine, definately the best job in the world. Off to Pensacola, FL to start my flight training after I am done here. If you know me and are in the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area, stop in and say hi.

"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company.

I will hold." - 1st Lt. Clifton B. Cates, USMC

You're steady, organized, and determined to achieve your dreams.
You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones).
You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible.

Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of. What Planet Are You From?
What military aircraft are you?
F/A-22 Raptor
You are an F/A-22. You are technologically inclined, and though you've never been tested in combat, your very name is feared. You like noise, but prefer not to pollute any more than you have to. And you can move with the best.
