Oliver's Story
Life
Supp whoever's readin this sorry bio! I've been in Ft.Carson Co since the end of July, I went to Korea in June 04 and then Ramadi, Iraq in August 05, I joined the Army to use em so that I can travel more and got what I wanted at first but after a little while I felt that I was being used much more than I wanted, but i've made plenty of good friends so far, learned a few things and seen more sh*t than I wanted to. I'm glad that i've gone in this direction although i'd rather go back to the Slope work (honestly!!!), the pay here isn't all that but it gets me by....Here's alittle about the previous few years, I started working on the Slope in July 98 and that's when I started travelling or makin enough to travel, I went to Mongolia in July 2000, Amsterdam in Jan 01, London in Feb 01, Jerusalem in Dec 00, Jan/Feb 01, and then I quit my job and moved there in April 01 till August 02, I joined the Army in Feb 04 and went to Korea in June 04, then Iraq in Aug 04 till July 05, now i'm here in Colorado Springs till I get kicked out of the Army or Feb 08. Can't forget to mention Kuwait in August 04 for 3 damn weeks! then more time there in July 05, that place is so freekin hot in July and August, now that's the hottest weather i've ever seen! 130 plus, back in 99 while at Kuparuk it got to -107 ambient!!!!! So I can say that i've seen the best and the worst this world has to offer......all in all for th...Expand for more
ose of you who know me from my teen years I can definately say that i've gone much farther than I thought i'd ever go! There's so much this world has to offer and much more to experience, change is constant but there are those moments that made my life's problems seem so small, but what the hell am I searching for? What am I running from though? I tried searching for answers while travelling but I ended up with experiences that I couldn't imagine were for me, at the same time I struggled alot more than I enjoyed my travels, I missed home more than half the time, my family and those I grew up with were a constant reminder that my past is something that i'd like to blot out of my memory but where else could I go to find comfort? There ain't no better place for me but to be close to them, i'd like to be there now but i'd still be restless in my spirit, there's so much more that I want to do but there's only so much that I can do so i've learned that I seriously need to be near my family in order to grow, sure i'm mature but i'd like to pass on to my younger brothers what little i've learned so far, warn them of the dangers that are out there, or teach them about the different cultures i've gotten to see with my own eyes. I'm grateful for my family now more than ever, i've learned that the only place I can find comfort is to be close to them, to struggle with them, to enjoy their successes with them.
