Personal Backgrounds

lesofprimus · 01-11-2006, 05:24 PM

Born on Long Island New York in 1966, graduated High School lettering in Hockey, Lacrosse and Football... Went to Syracuse University on a Lacrosse Scholarship... Stayed there 2 years, then pursued a Hockey career in the ECHL... Never really made anything happen there except alot of fights, so I joined the Navy and became a Navy Seal...

Got to visit many interesting places and cultures including Panama, Nicaragua, Iraq, Bosnia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somolia, and Haiti.... Other places that I've been to but didnt shoot anything were Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, France, Italy, Slovenia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Germany, Greece, Crete, Cyprus, Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, and Argentina... I think thats all of em....

Left the Teams after the Haitian f*ck up, got into the civilian world and never looked back.... Currently do Communications work and am my own boss... I have an 18 year old son and a wife that is 100% Irish with red hair and an attitude that spews forth like the lava flows of Vesuvius...

Not much of a story. I'm Nova Scotian, and therefore next to god himself.

I'm regularly dogged by Albertans, Ontarians, and Québecers .

On top of that, I occasionally work on a boat. When it works, it goes down and I constantly pray that it'll come back up. So far, so good.

Wow, les, you've been to a lot of places. Do you regret being in the Navy, then, or are you just glad to be out? Wow, a Seal...

I am definitely not worthy. Nice analogy with the wife there, too, by the way!

Nonskimmer, all I have to say is LOL.

Nonskimmer · 01-11-2006, 05:50 PM

LOL, eh? Well, it beats a kick in the ass I guess.

none of your business....................and I am being kind actually, so don't get offended

lesofprimus · 01-11-2006, 05:51 PM

At the end of my enlistment, I was in Haiti and things there got extremely ugly and unethical, so I was glad I got out... I do not regret anything I've ever done, let alone being in the Navy...

Well, there was this one time, in Band Camp....

Well, besides the countries visited that I've been in combat, when u go on deployments, u stop in at various ports to spread the good will of the American Navy... Other places u go to to help train the local armed forces... Still other ports u pull into after doing some joint excercises... (No Pisis, not those kind of Joints...)

No offense taken, Erich.

Okay... My background is in no way as interresting as the other members up there.

I'm born in the Province of Québec (Canada) in 1984. (Yeah, I know... No one is perfect.) I graduated from High School in 2001, began an "Industrial Drawing" course, stopped after completing a year, took a year off, then completed a course in Private Security. So now I'm officially a Security Officer but I was also taught the Private Investigator and body-guard jobs. Though I never worked as a body-guard.

I'm now doing everything I can to get out of the sh*thole that we commonly call "Québec".

Nonskimmer · 01-11-2006, 07:01 PM

That's funny, because I'm doing everything I can to stay in the sh*thole that we commonly call "Nova Scotia".

Yeah, you laugh now.

Soon we'll be...

...we'll be...Aww, who am I kidding? It's pathetic.

Delusional · 01-11-2006, 07:41 PM

Cheer up, Nonskimmer. It can't be that bad!

Nonskimmer · 01-11-2006, 08:44 PM

In the relative sense it is. Nova Scotia is located in the poorer region of Canada, and we're the most backward of the lot when it comes to keeping up with the times in terms of social and economic change. I mean, we're not poor to the point of destitution or anything like that, but it could be better. The standard of living is fine, but people here are very old-fashioned. They can't see opportunity when it slaps them in the face. Realistically, I don't know if I'll be able to live out my days here. Things are very gradually improving with the provincial economy, but I can't see very much in the immediate future. Once I leave the Navy, I'll probably have to seek employment out west somewhere. We'll see.

But ya know what? She be me home, and I'll always love 'er.

Yeah, you guys still havent cleaned up the rubble from that big ass explosian you guys had eh?

Nonskimmer · 01-11-2006, 08:58 PM

What've you been smokin' tonight? Christ man, that was in 1917. Yes, we've cleaned it up.

102first_hussars · 01-11-2006, 09:29 PM

What have I been smoking? hmmm?

I think the question is what have I been drinking
