“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.”

“I grew up in far Western Austria (AKA Kaleeforneea).”

“Grew up in WI, Germany for 2 years, Louisiana for 2 years. Back in WI where I belong.”

“I lived in Wisconsin (various communities), Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Iowa (one L-O-N-G year), and Chicago. Not only are they different countries, they are WORLDS apart!”

“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.

“Blind Willie, where have you lived ?”

“Well Sarge, I get out some but I guess I just never knowed a boney-fied hee-roe.........who would have to kill me/we/us.



Willie, I lived in a tent from one end of Canada to the other one summer.
I just never took up citizenship.”

“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.”

“Hey Sarge, do you ever hear an echo in here?

Geobeet farts and MarkO sniffs, .. and vice versa, a sort of tag team.”

“Hey Wounded Knee, that first 9 months, did you have a womb with a view?”

“I've lived in the U.S. most of my life, but lived in Amsterdam, Netherlands for one summer for work in 1987.

States I've lived in: NY, TX, NC and NH”

“Hey MarkO, do you ever hear an echo in here?

Sarge farts and Manuka sniffs, .. and vice versa, a sort of tag team.”

“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?”

“perfect troll, 3 minutes 47 seconds for first bite after chumming.”

“manuka - They're cracking each other up. Or, he's cracking himself up??

“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.”

Topsail, NC/outer Banks, NC 2years

Mexico about a year and a half, two trips

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

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.
