Born in Fairfield, CT at night but not last night :-) Love PC gaming. Been online gaming since Diablo (original) 1st game ever played on computer? Well, Kings Quest, commodore 64 Actual PC, Wing Commander, Ol' Blue Hair Diablo original to Everquest to Ultima Online to.. present day games :-)
Ran away from home at 16 and joined the USMC. Since both parents abandoned, and left me with grandparents, I was able to join through the Abandonment Clause. We won't talk about my military excursions too much. 2/9 STA E-5 8541 which is now 0317 (Scout Sniper) I am known in the Corps as call-sign: BC (Bad Company)
When I am asked to give my take on someone thinking of joining the military, my reply is, do it, don't just think about it. If you have to think about it, you will never do it.. Check this link: https://youtu.be/ywMOVae6FWI I still well up at the end to see the EGA awarded to those that have earned it.
I am a quiet person until provoked, then hell breaks loose. Just keep in mind, PTSD is not shaken by everyone. Some can, some can't. And even then, it can show up unannounced..
My philosophy: If you are going to be something, then be the best at it and leave things better than which you found them.
Here, we are known as: Grumpy's Odyssey. Not only do we have epic journey's in games but also in Life itself.
Ever since Homer's epic poem The Odyssey told the story of warrior Odysseus' ten-year journey home from Troy, odyssey has meant any epic journey. As with the word journey, odyssey has both a literal meaning and a figurative one.
