Howdy all. I stumbled onto this place from a link at another forum and I recognize a couple of names here from some other places. I come from a military family and served as an Army Paratrooper from '96 - '02. Currently I am in my last year of college and have my first kid on the way. I enjoy long walks on the beach, cool summer breezes, and roasting marshmallows around a fire.


Thanks for having me.

No need, just poking fun at the events of the last couple of weeks.

Aside from CAL's IP checking out, you can tell it's not Raptor and Co. because he can use capital letters and punctuation at the appropriate times and his thoughts are more clearly organized.

All of which is a dead giveaway that he's not a REAL paratrooper.

What IS a paratrooper? A 'leg' with the brains knocked out.

I kid. I'm a kidder.

Yeah, that does tend to give away our disturbed friend...
...well, there's that and whoever he's pretending to be just has to be really good at something...F-15 pilot or violin player, it doesnt matter
