It is OVER!!!! I'm FREE!!! (pics included)

As of today, my 8yrs in the Army is COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!I guess in some ways, it might not be official till I get some sort of paper in the mail but to me, today is the end of it all. Besides, I don't need a paper to tell me that, I already got my Honorable Discharge when my 3yrs was up in Apr.'99.

( My thoughts of my yrs )

Thats pretty much all to tell for the time being. Its been so long that some areas are a bit foggy. But I'm sure I can answer a question if asked.


Here are some pics though I had on my hard drive I had scanned in awhile back. I do have more but they aren't scanned, perhaps one of these days I'll do so but I don't have many exciting pics like bubba does since he's been to more places than me.

Graduation from Drivers Training. This was in Ft.Hood. You had to take drivers training to learn how to drive all the vehicles. The girl on the far left is the one who made the moves on me and was also in my company but worked in a different area. The other two girls I worked with. Of course I'm the odd one of the bunch in that pic, can't you tell? ^_~ The dude was just a friend who we met during the class.

Desert Training in the Mojave. This was when we were in CA. The trucks in the background is what I drove. I'm the one squatting down, holding my M-249 submachine gun. That bitch was heavy yet I'M the one that was assigned to carry the fucker, me and the only guy in our section. We had our M-16's traded in for those -___-. This bitch comes with a spare barrel and is on a tripod. Wish I had a better pic of it. But boy was it AWESOME to shoot!!

Our living arrangements in Kuwait 2nd time This is how we lived for the past 3 months in Kuwait. WOW! I actually look tan in that pic, not sure why since we were fully clothed while out there.

Sunset in Kuwait and cooling down This was our way of cooling off in the evening, by having water bottle fights, hence why we're wet but I got it the worse. We had to do it discreetly cause they'd yell at us for wasting water.

Hot and Tired. Coming back from being out on the firing range all day in the miserable heat. I'm on the left.


GUH! Thats it for the morning, I wrote enough as it is. Now time to count down for Akon so I can celebrate the right way of my freedom.

Gungrave #24 subbed!!!

YAY!! They are finally getting them out a bit quicker. Two more to go!!

Eps.24

April issue of Newtype for Gungrave

I finally got around to taking the pics that were in the issue and typed up the article.

( Main article )

Harry Macdowel (the blurb on Harry's pic)

His life changed when he made the decision to kill his friend. But that friend has returned to life and now stands before him as an enemy. Harry’s painful memories of the past mingle with terror.


Beyond the Grave (blurb on Grave's pic)

As he fights, Grave slowly regains lost memories of a past when he was still named Brandon, but those memories tear at his soul. Perhaps his life would’ve been better if he had remained a cold and emotionless killer.


Writings in the yellow box on the right of Grave's pic:

The production style of Director Toshiyuki Tsuru

Men constrained by the past and their own inner conflicts

“The characters in this show are unique, so all sorts of situations come to mind. I think the harsh battles will go on and on, but the characters are still constrained by a past when they were both human. I want to bring out the drama that comes from those constraints. In the last battle, Grave will have to choose between being Beyond the Grave or being Brandon Heat. I’ll work hard to bring out their inner conflicts.”

Writings in red box regarding GGOD::

Gungrave OD

Grave lives again on PS2!

In 2002 the innovative PS2 shooter Gungrave took the world by storm. Now there’s a sequel! Gungrave OD exceeds the previous game in its ability to provide you with the sheer exhilaration of mass destruction. Everything show on screen can be destroyed, from cars to pillars, and even walls. Just like in the first game, the original concept, character conception, and mecha designs were done by Yasuhiro Nightow and Kosuke Fujishima.


Here are the pics::
