Well, I'm originally from Germany (Deutschland für uns Deutsche!!!) I am, as you say, a hundred percenter.

RE: TIME SERVED

I have loved my time with the Corps. I have trusted every single Marine that I´ve served with, Friend and Foe alike, to cover my back in time of need. The Corps is a big brotherhood that stands for things that the normal civilian cannot ever hope to understand. For all the Pigs and Hogs with STA 3/5, you´re all dear to my heart [but you´ll never beat my 15´53" 3 miles :) ]. For all the Regimental Recon Marines... Keep humpin´ Marines! You all better have made it to Division!!!

For all the 03´s, you´re all a bunch of Yogi´s, and I'll still fix all of you!!! :)

And for the lost (not dead, just lost contact with´em) Marine buddies from Mainside, CPL Les (Clayton) Coash and SGT Tracy LaBombard... Fair Winds and Following Seas to you Marines.

Nuff said of the military, after I left the service, at the request of my now-ex-girlfriend, I went to school at OWC in 98, had a counselor sign me up for a similar but wrong major (knew I should have double checked that!!!!), wasted 2 years of my life since no credits transferred (sorry ma & pops), and moved to Gainesville, where I started school at Santa Fe Community College back in May 2001 and I finished December 2003. I decided to throw myself out on the job market, and lo-and-behold I was called in for a successful interview with Rick Anthony and I worked as a System Administrator at the Department of OBGYN for Shands at the University of Florida.

Currently I'm a Systems Technician at The Alacha County Health Department of Florida and I enjoy going to work every day. How many people can say that? I have a great boss, work for a great organization, and hey... the pay´s not bad either.

Currently, I have loads of family in Germany, and have aspirations of moving back to my country. Not that I don't like the United States, but I don't know if ANYONE has EVER felt homesick to the point that it almost hurts. Yep, that´s what I feel like every time I see a snippit of Germany. So, Thyssen-Krupp, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Siemens, or Phillips, in a few years if you need a Systems Administrator, feel free to write me an email (Sure, my boss probably loves to read this right now... don't worry it'll be a FEW years till I see this happening, depending on my performance/pay raises, heck I may stay *grin*).
