Scott MacFarlane:  

10APR09 Well, I started a new chapter in my life. I volunteered to go to Iraq for a year. I was in a career-killing job that was being in El Paso. There are some very beautiful women in El Paso, but that's not a reason to crush your soul. The more I talked to people about my time there, the more I got depressed. I like the team I'm on. Good guys, and the mission were on is good. The only thing I liked doing there was riding my motorcycles. I've been riding motocycles for, virtually, 4 years. I've got about 50K miles under my belt. But, I like riding the twisties. It doesn't take much Imagination that El Paso isn't more than staight and flat. Plus, I would have no chance of getting out of there until I retire in about 5 years, and I would have to deploy every other year. Got promoted Sergeant First Class 01JAN08. Which was good. I'lll I can do now is ride out my time to get back my life. Cheers, ciao, tchuss. Life How do you culminate 36 years into a paragraph? I joined the Army right after graduation from H.S. and played with radios for eight years. In ’94, Clinton became president and down-sized the Military. I decided that it was time to get on with my life and get some college, girlfriends, you know, the good stuff. Well, girlfriend turned into wife, then soon-to-be-ex-wife. I went back into the Army to make it work, or, at least, go back to Germany. Ja, I was there from ’89-’94; long enough to go to Desert Storm. –I still can’t eat Guava. Ask me later. Sorry, I have a thing about tangents. Well, I went back into the Army and could not go to Germany and I lost some other things that are probably of no interest to you. I picked up a job with the Army that deals with microwave communication systems. I was sent to Arizona for three months just to be sent back to the great South West Asia (SWA), Kuwait, for a year acting as a liaison officer for my battalion. Sorry for the mumbo-jumbo. This was during the first Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom. I was in the magazine “WIRED” it was a small picture. I believe it was the April ’03 issue. BUT, I WAS FAMOUS! You don’t remember? Oh, well, back to the farm. Well, it has been two years and I am back again in the area of the great SWA. I got a ’03 1200 Harley Sportster when I left Kuwait the first time, which I’m proud to say I have logged over 15,000 miles in a year and a half. I’ll post pictures later. Maybe I’ll post a link to the crash. I’m feeling better! (Click here for the Monty Python accent) Let me know if it works, or not. Well, I hope to hear from you, and if you’re a woman and single, I probably had a crush on you. Workplace I worked for an outlet store to make some money while I was out and goin...Expand for more
