Your job may afford you more opportunity for advancement and better pay... but I get to blow shit up

About Me

Hmmmmm... what can I say about myself that sounds A)witty, B)thoughtful, and C) non-incriminating... is that a word? Anyhoo, I am a Joe in the infantry in the 82nd Airborne Division, as well as a budding alcoholic, although my friends seem to think that I've passed into the realm of "full-blown", but what do they know. I try to be your stereotypical badass, cigar chompin', beer swillin' G.I. Joe... but I fail miserably. I'm scary looking, but not in the right way... while ugly can be scary, it's just not intimidating. You quite simply can't be goofy looking and non-intimidating, and still be a badass. I'm originally from Gaithersburg, Maryland... you know... the place with the snipers. Uh, let's see I have three brothers, two younger and one older. Two of them are mechanics and one is a college man. I hate falling out of planes, it kind of hurts, but it gets me more money on my paycheck so I can't complain... I've only had one concussion so far and it gets me more money on my paycheck so I can't complain. I 've been deployed to Afghanistan... you know, the one that isn't in the news anymore (Holy shit, we're still there?). While there I was shot at, got dysentary(sp?), and succumbed to heat exhaustion on the "Let's win the Charlie Co. CO some medals" expidition... it was great. This is a work in progress, check back in to see what stupid comments I add later. Take the quiz:
What kind of muscle car are you?

1967 Shelby GT 500
You are a 1967 Shelby GT 500. You love your car because it's rare. You know you can whoop on most other cars, but you tend not to because you don't want to scratch your paint. You try to keep as many miles off of your car as you can.
