Chris's Story
Life
Just retired from the Air Force as a Chief. It was an interesting life, but It's good to be out, with the freedom to pierce and tattoo my body, and grow weird hair.
My best experiences were in Germany and Korea. I loved Europe, and until last year my 4 years there were the best of my life. Married a German girl. We had 3 kids, all grown now; Mike, 21, Yvonne, 19, and Mark, 18. My best friends... The marriage to the German girl is over now, but I have no regrets and 3 beautiful children.
Spent my last year in the AF in Korea. Korea was the most tumultuous, turbulent, terrifying, titilating (and some other "T" words) year of my life; also the most romantic and fulfilling. I overcame adversity there, rather a lot of it, actually (said in an off-hand, understated manner, in clipped, british accents.. "tough assignment, and a damned, dirty job, but someone had to do it. I muddled through. Stiff upper lip, eh?)
In Korea, I consumed Kimchee and Soju. I may have inadvertently eat...Expand for more
en bits of a small dog. If true, I greatly regret it.. long story, involving the Korean Police, a seedy Seoul brothel, a stolen kidney destined for the black market, two Australian guys named Bruce, and 3 Philipina bar girls.
I also fell in love with the kindest, sweetest, most loyal, beautiful, and brave young woman I have ever known... my soul mate, my Nadyushka. This summer we will be married!
I will be traveling to Russia soon to meet her family and friends. Her uncle and father are taking me fishing on the Amur river and out on a Siberian Tiger spotting excursion... we will consume vodka in mass quantities. I can't wait!
These last 25 years I have travelled widely in our great country, all over Europe, to Korea, the Middle East, to Mexico, and to Chile (I LOVED Santiago!)
Ok, there it is; short version of a very long story, of interest only to my old friends, family, and of course, future historians looking to documaent the life of one of history's most enigmatic figures.
