Re: Are you a Geek? or A Bully?

jamesdman, those were some pretty BA fights. Just out of curiosity, what did you do in the military?

Wow jamesdman, maybe self control could come in handy. Maybe some yoga, ground bonsai or origami may help you.

Airborn Infantry. Well, I went to Airborn School after basic and AIT with an open contract hoping to get assign to Ft. Bragg, But the army had a new program going.
It was an IBCT training brigade and we spent it seems more than half our time in the field training. They have a new MOS designated for them now I beleive or at least while I was out processing they planned on giving them a new one. It was inter city warfare tatics (much like swat). I was stationed at 1-23 Bravo company Ft. Lewis WA. Home of the first Stryker Brigade.
ps: Joining the infantry was a huge mistake. I scored almost perfect on the asvab and could of had my choice of jobs in the army. When I was dicussing my career path with a conciller at the MEPS he kept trying to get me to go Military Intelligence, but I wanted no part of that. I wanted to go fight somewhere. Had I known I would of been sent to a IBCT and never had the chance to be deployed I would had chosen MI for sure. I only got a $15,000 sign on bonus for Infantry while I could of gotten $25,000 for MI and a guarrentee of at least one year in a hot zone.

Whoever said I was mad? I used a rational deceision each time. Some times I had no choice cause it was upon me not to fight but to defend myself. I have a saying. I lifted weights all through high school. I used to take pretty decent care of my body. I just do what man are programmed to do...

Re: Are you a Geek? or A Bully?

while I was at school I was a good student, not academic though. I played keeper for the school soccer team every year it was possible and enjoyed it. While I was at school I wasn't really bullied, I had my group of friends but I managed to get along with most other groups although there were groups I generally steered clear of, mainly those that think it's fun to go out, get drunk, and fight.

Now I'm doing my tertiary education and i play keeper for an indoor soccer team, it's important to stay active, especially when spending extended amounts of time on a computer.
