(BTW it's Marine! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )I'm a 32 y/o divorced mongrel American male.A Buckeye born & raised. Joined the USMC out of HS going into the SIGINT field (2651 for you other Devil Dogs aka CTO for you Sailor types).Apparently I picked the right (or wrong depending on your perspective) time to join as was lucky enough to spend a lovely fall/winter vacation in the Saudi Arabian Desert before heading up the road to Kuwait for an early Spring Break. I enjoyed it so much I made a return trip to nearby Somalia two winters later. The last two years of my active duty service were spent at the world famous Edson Range instructing dinks in the fine art of marksmanship.Spent the next 10 years or so bartending, taking in the occasional course of higher education, chatting up women of loose moral character & generally wasting time. Finally came back into the fold of the Intel community about three years ago working for Uncle Sam at No Such Agency.My first forays into gaming were circa 1980 when my mother bought me a copy of the 1e MM while I recovering from a nasty bout of Pneumonia. I was hooked from the start. I've played just about every RPG that's been released over the last 25 years (except VtG...nasty nasty Vampires!) but always seem to return to D&D. I must be one of the mindless "idiots" who just can't break away from the flock to appreciate the virtues of [insert favorite fad RPG system here]. Now if Runequest were still around, it might be a different story...My musical tastes run the gamut from punk (old school) to blues, bluegrass to classical, classical rock to [insert favorite lesbian folk singer here].I'm a computer junky, having been weaned on a TSR-80, raised on an Apple IIe & graduating to an Amiga. Of course now I spend most of my time on a Wintel box like everyone else (I told you I was a mindless sheep...baaahh).Each summer I can be found at Camp Perry Ohio competing at the National High Power Rifle Championships (coming up in just over a week) with the goal of bringing home the Palma Trophy one year.I mourn the passing of Chesty Puller, Futurama & Douglas Adams.And finally....when I grow up I want to be an Astronaut...or a Paleontologist...I'm not sure yet.</blockquote>
