Captain J. Savage

Reasons we're in Iraq: WMDs which were moved out of country before OIF1. Remove a dictator, which believe it or not kept better control of the country than we have thus far. His methods cruel or not... Oil is mentioned constantly but I've seen no evidence of this as far as our economy goes; I don't see cheaper prices or Citco pumping the fields... Iraq is a major staging area for Saudi, Iran, and Syria. ... Who's to say those are all the reasons? The government keeps a lot of information from the public. Who's to say there's not a "need to know" list of reasons why we're there. That's why I remain neutral on the issue. How can I personally judge something that I may only know 20% of the information about?

^ WWII Japanese Sniper Rifle my grandfather captured in the Pacific campaign; a General who is a friend of family gave it to him for his birthday not long after the war. < Happy to be home after a 22 day combat training exercise in the field. V Do you get homesick?

Seeking a crew in preferably in Central FL. However, I am willing to join any crew in the state. Will be out of town for a month as of 4AM tomorrow (April 2). I will check my PMs when I get back.

^ One themed book case for each of the following: Piracy, College (binders and textbooks), Marine Corps (Warrents, Awards, Scrapbooks, USMC Literature, Guidebooks, and photo albums), Middle Ages, and Literature. < I can't wait for my training for 22 days starting tomorrow which involves grenades, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, m240gs, and m-16s. V What is the most powerful live weapon you've fired?

ex-girlfriends

^ Nothing yet, a bit worried as to why my wife let me sleep in to 11:30am... maybe she feels bad that i'll be training and gettin up at 5am for the next 21 days... < Reading about Navigation right now. V If you were an officer on a ship what role woud be most fitting for you? (IE: Master Gunner, Bosun, etc etc)

^ Coming from a guy who wears dress blues, yeah... no biggie. They force your to sit like there's a stick up your ass, choke you, crush your chest, and are hot n' itchy... but you get free drinks all night from patriots, and the ugliest SOB can get laid wearing them. (See profile pic for uniform) < I can't decide between red stripe or fosters... V What do you think, red stripe or fosters?

^ One always seems to lead to another, by the time you are "finished" the thing you started with is either broke, or you want to change your mind and replace it. < Got a rare steak, home fries, and a red stripe waiting for me, woo hoo! V How many pirate themed rooms do you have in your house? If any.

^ Tried once, my buddy and I were drunk by 7th hole. It was fun though, even before we started drinking. I figured it would be boring as all hell. < Pool felt great today, yay for spring. V Do you have any boats/watercraft?

^ Rare steaks, and raw hamburger meat on bread with some pepper. Damn good eating. < Think I'm gonna cook a real breakfast instead of cereal and an apple today... V How's you day going so far?

^ Peter Pan, without the tights. Cause not growing up is a good reason to be immature. I guess having kids gives me an excuse to buy Nerf guns and go see animated movies though... < Sick of packing sea bags and ironing uniforms. Can't wait go train and get it over with. I'm gonna miss my son's first steps; almost missed his first birthday. V Ever had an obligation hold you back from a milestone event?

I usually don't remember... I've gotten standing ovations coming into work hung over after the party the prior night.

I'd sleep in a hammock over a tent anyday... I hope so.

Ah Key West... first time you'll ever seen a man wearing a bananna hammock going down the road on a mo-ped. Funny stuff for the straight guy who's comfortable with his sexuality. Probably paradise for those of the "alternate lifestyle."

Minimum wage is 6.50, I hear it's going up to 7.00.
