Steve's Story

Hey, you aging humanoids from my past, this is Steve Self and I just joined this thing, I see and remember alot of names and good times we shared back then before I became a Tibetan Monk, (ha, ha). Well, following graduation, as some may recall, me and ol Mike Bateson ran off to Bowling Green and roomed it out for a year there, I got my girlfriend pregnant, had to return to Columbus to deal with the ensuing bs all that brings, my parents caught wind of my mischief and being the staunch bible-thumpers they were cut off my money train there,...case in point, she got an abortion behind my back,..good side I heard that Mike went on to graduate. From there I moved to Helena, Montana and laid low at Carroll College for a year, just enjoying the scenery. Then I came back to Columbus, why I don't know, lived,..well, lets say intruded on my sister Debbies household, I was a chronic alcoholic/drug kingpin back then, basically laid up sorry for 8 months or so,.....then came that moment of clarity,..ha,ha,..out of the blue I said F this and joined the Army.

den I found myself in Germany on a 2 year stint, gotta say lovin every minute of it, German beer and all those frauleins kept me motivated. Bought Euro-rail passes and went all over europe, including Greece and Crete. Even tried to go to Moscow, but the tensions were high and my command denied that one. Following those 2 years I went to Korea for 1 year, I got bored with my clerical sissy ass job and went to Ranger school from Korea and converted to Infantry. That was when me and ol Uncle Sam got on the same sheet of music, they sent me to Fort Bragg, NC and went to Special Forces school, and 18 years later I retired out of Special Forces. Within all that SF time I did 3 years in Panama, got married and now I have 2 beautiful daughters living in Fayetteville, NC. Travelled the world with that bunch for free and made some life-long friendships. After all that army time I worked contract security work in Wake Island, HI and Bosnia-Herzegovina for 2 years, then I became a civilian instructor out at the U.S. Army Special Forces School, thats my nutshell story.
