snapple2993 0 Posted June 30, 2005 Well, it's been a while since I posted here, and it's been even longer since I was a regular. Basically I stopped playing flight sims for a while. I may try out the new patch for PF though. I've been playing the Stony Road mod for Hearts of Iron, and I've been playing a lot of Rome Total War lately. However I did buy WOV some time ago, but it reminded me too much of SF (horrible memories) for me to take to it, but I may give it another go. My PC is still pretty average so I can't play LOMAC. Oh and I fell in love with ESPN NFL 2K5, and played some Halo 2. So that's the news on gaming. As some of you may recall, I was planning on joining the Navy, and going to OCS after college. Well last semester sucked, because I've been mentally finished with college like 6 months. So now, I'm finishing my degree this summer, and I WILL graduate on August 6th. But...... here's the fun part. I've lost all interest in the Navy, I hate the Chair Force, and the Army is... well the Army. Sooooooo, I'M GOING TO BE A MARINE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR! I will probably ship out to boot in late August or sometime in September. I haven't signed anything yet, but that's just because I'm trying to work out routes to OCS. It's looking like I will go Reserves or Enlisted first, because quite frankly, I'm out of shape (not fat, but no Marine either). Btw, I finally quit smoking. It's only been a week, but I have absolutely no want of cigs at all. Also, I am engaged to a very smart, loving, and beautiful woman (kinda looks like Katie Holmes)...... and she's pregnant. Our child is due on January 8th. She stands behind my decision to become a Marine. All she asks is that I don't get killed, and I would be inclined to agree. I think we'll do okay while I'm away, but being an Army brat, she understands. Also, I've lost almost all taste for alcohol. Well, I don't binge drink anymore, so that's good news. So within the next six months, I'll be a college grad, a Marine, a daddy, and I may be married within that time frame. Cheers, Jason Saffell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snapple2993 0 Posted June 30, 2005 Oh ya, mother of GOD I've become conservative over the last year. I still voted for Kerry, but that's just because I hate W, Chenney, and Rummy. I know... NO POLITICS, but it is important to note, since I was so staunch a liberal some time ago. Now I'm a moderate who leans to the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hang on to them bro, thru thick and thin, they are a precious thing. Going into the Marines will get you inshape fershure. Its a good branch pal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Dave 2,322 Posted February 18, 2007 He should get a warning for insulting my Air Force.....which I have been a part of for 15 years now......but I will let it slide. I mean he could join Air Force if he could color inside the lines but since he can't, I see why he is going to be a Marine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
