Places lived
I've lived as a child in Cuba (Guantanamo), and Japan (Yokohama), when my father was in the Navy. As an adult I've lived/worked in England (pubs/construction sites/Hotels), Israel (cutting stone staues in the Peace park in Eilat), India/Nepal (teaching English), Australia (Farms/Stations/Bars), and Hawaii, (like Missouri, a different world, though much nicer weather).

I lived in the Philippines for 18 months on an all-expenses paid trip from my rich uncle, Sam.

I lived in Maryland for 11 years and Virginia for 8.

Maryland got the crooked politicians and Virginia got the stupid politicians, because when states picked the kinds of politicians they would have, it was down to those two states and those two kinds of politicians. Maryland had first pick.

Okinawa, Dominican Republic, New Jersey all courtesy of U.S. Army. I gotta tell you, that New Jersey is a strange place. I especially had a tough time with the language.

hehe, that's funny too.

No African's in here? No Muslim countries?

Some of you guys are well traveled. I like that in people. Those of you that have never left the states, have no idea of what "ANOTHER WORLD IS!" Not a bad thing, but it is funny to here you say.

Thanks for participating. It was just for my own personal store of useless knowledge.

Hey sarge, you're the one who said if you told us you'd have to kill us. Those are your words. In the absence of further elucidation, that's the conclusion I drew.

It was a military joke. One that many people outside the military are aware of. Are you guys that ill-adjusted in real life, or just on here? Seriously, it amazes me when I see your pics how old you guys are, because you act like teenagers on here. I'm not trying to be mean, but why do you? Are you really like that in real life? Are you just trying to troll? You've really never heard that before?

Jeez, it's just a f*cking joke. I wasn't aware you two are so touchy.

You two are like Congress. When you make a joke it's a law and when you make a law it's a joke.

Oh, and Sarge, I served in the Army probably before you were a gleam in your daddy's eye. So I saw your joke and raised you one. Sorry you can dish but can't take.

Asheville/Black Mtn NC: Born and rasied, and back home a lot

Topsail, NC/outer Banks, NC 2years

Mexico about a year and a half, two trips

Florida one year

Cali, One year (traveled city to city)

Iraq, six months

Djibouti, Africa, TBD


I used to live in a bus before I joined ye ole Marine Corps. I traveled a lot, hiking, surfing, kyaking, snowboarding...

you get the point.

I want to join the peace corps next, or possibly KBR Gov Contracting just so that I can see more of the world. It's a great place and I feel like I would be missing too much if I stayed in one place for the rest of my life.

I've been known to do things like that, a fact to which my son and grandson will readily attest. A deceased swabbie friend would have too.

I remember using that line on a drunk in a bar one night when I worked for the agency.

He: "No, what do you do?"
Me: "I'm not kidding man, if I told you I'd have to kill you, so shut the f*ck up and order another beer!"
