I've been reluctant to put anything in here in light of what I do for a living. Currently, I'm in Iraq doing personal security. To me that's fairly self explanatory, but I've had more than one person look at me the way my dog does when I make a funny noise, so I'll break it down Barney style. I'm part of a team that protects Americans from the bad guys here in Iraq. It means my work ensemble isn't from Kenneth Cole, but from Colt (my rifle ),Glock (my pistol) and Diamondback Tactical (my body armor).I've also encountered those that think I might be some knuckle dragger with a two digit IQ. Sorry to burst your stereotype bubble, but I happen to be a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point.This is the third time here for me. The first time was from April'04-May '05. The second from May '06-April '07. I recently returned in early October.I don't plan on doing this forever. My long term career goal is to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).I've never been married (not that I'm against marriage, I just don't want to get divorced), no kids, but love my dog Lola dearly. That's actually one of the worst parts about being deployed here is being away from her. She's really smart, but she just can't get the hang of e-mail or IM.This only scratches the surface of who I am, but at least it gives you a little something more than what I had here before.
