Sgt Ninja-neer

After high school, tried a little bit of college, but finances forced me to enlist in the Air Force in 2001. 7 months after enlisting, September 11th hit the fan. Never imagining having to partake in a war, I realized how much we, as Americans, take for granted the men and women that volunteer their lives for our freedom. If you think your life is more valuable than the next person, then you're just ignorant to the fact that there's an actual bigger picture than your insignificant life. So yeah, I deployed a couple times, took some classes here and there, and met my wife... all at Robins AFB, GA. 5 years later I applied for a commissioning program that pays me active duty pay to finish my degree. I was accepted and chose to go back to Pensacola, FL, my hometown that I love. We've been here since the summer of 2006 and I'm half way to an electrical engineering degree. Just trying to take it a semester at a time and enjoying life with my family and friends. Mary and I don't have kids at the moment, but we're planning to after I graduate and commission. For now, our baby is our doberman pinscher, Alexa Kay. :) Holla at a mofo!"Character can not be developed in ease and quiet.
