#1: Since I was a kid, the words "Marine" and "Marine Corps" always struck
a cord in my mind. Maybe it was how my dad talked about my grandpa and his
WWII experiences, the way people say "send in the Marines" when they face a
seemingly insurmountable task, or maybe it was from watching too many war
movies. What ever it was, I knew it was a sacred institution. It's hard
not to notice former Marines driving by, honking and screaming "Semper Fi"
at my neighbor's Marine Corps flag. It was as if these Marines had some
piece of amazing super-secret knowledge that they were sworn to keep to
themselves. To me, "Marine" means kicking A-- plain and simple. Who
wouldnt want to be a part of that?
#2: I hate to say it, but chaos is good for our profession. But in a
fantasy world I would like to figure out a way to reduce the worlds
population. I dont mean "Nuke the world," but in my eyes the vast majority
of earth's problems stem from this one factor.
#3: Too many to name! I suppose my folks... I don't really think of that
stuff as much these days being that I'm a senior citizen! At least here in
the Marine Corps it feels that way.
#4: My Fiance Lisa Amundsen and my good ol' buddie Albert Torres!
#5: I have no Idol I can think of. I love little kids and dogs. Nothing
in the world can make me unwind like a dog. Other than getting married to
Lisa, my one big goal is to have my own dog in a place where I can take good
care of it.
#6: An Ideal vacation for me is a road trip. Something spontaneous. I'd
be with my friends and we would be headed somewhere with a purpose. I enjoy
things much better if I am striving to meet a goal. my greatest vacation
was a road trip my friend Albee and I took. We had to drive all of his
aunt's stuff across country in a BEATER old moving van. We had everything
go wrong along the way. There were times I thought I wasnt going to
survive, and more than once I thought I was going to have to kill albee.
I'm sure he felt the same way. But looking back, it was a hell of an
adventure, and we grew closer than ever. I'm not in to typical beach
vacations, or cruise liner trips. A real vacation is one where you need
another vacation when you're done.
#7: My favorite car(s)... this could go on forever. Any Mopar muscle car
from 1968-70. also a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL. And I can forget my old
favorite little 1986 Merkur XR4ti! My favorite band is Pink Floyd-Roger
Waters. Very well crafted intelectual music, that is all too often looked
at as stoner music. Any real fan of Floyd knows thats not what its about at
all. <>
