About Me

I Joined the Marine's in 2004. I needed direction in my life and I got it. I have visited many places I never imagined I would see. I live in Okinawa Japan and I love it. I am from Rexburg Idaho. I will either move back there or to Utah when I get out of the Marine Corps so that I can be close to my family.

You scored as Marines. Semper Fi. You are a true Marine. You are the nation's most devastating fighting force, barring Special Forces. But your place was not easy to get. You endured the harshest basic training of any Armed Force to get where you are, and your reward is the respect and admiration of everyone else (except maybe the Air Force, who may view you as just a dumb grunt. Perhaps it's true, but you just want to fight).

My Interests

I have a street bike, a dune buggy, all the vital toys. I love music of all kinds and play the piano and the guitar but I am not very good at either of them. I am taking college classes but I don 't know what I want to do after I get out of the Marines. For now I am content seeing the world. I have taken up scuba diving here in Okinawa Japan and enjoy being in the ocean. When I can, I love to snowboard and even worked at a ski slope for a while before enlisting. I used to ride BMX but there are no dirt tracks near where I live now.

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in meeting a girl that appreciates that I have no peircings or tattoos. A Marine with no tattoos is a rare thing. A girl that will hold me to a high standard but understand that I have my wild streaks and let them be.

Music:

What are you listening to?.... I like it!

Movies:

War Movies. .. ..

Television:

I don't usually have time to sit and watch television, but when I do I watch the history channel or the speed channel.

Books:

read "Fields of Fire", especially if you are a Marine. it is not just a book but an experience. It is so good. Vietnam, if you were there or not, you will experience it even if only a little.

Heroes:

My heroes are my parents. They managed to raise me despite my best efforts. Also, all of my brothers and sisters in arms defending the freedoms that America takes for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is coming. I don't think about things like that anymore. During my long lost childhood, holidays only meant only that I was going to see some of my cousins and that we would b...
