I was a victim of a drive by MeMe...thanks Chris

I will just start off with my five items.

I really hate talking about myself. Something I noticed that most top agents have no problem in doing. I guess I'm not Top Agent material. I prefer just doing and let my actions speak for itself. I guess that's why I always find it a challenging to write a resume.
I was stationed in Ft Lewis WA and Mannheim Germany, when I was in the Army. I performed duties as an MP. (That's Mop Pusher for those of you not familiar with Military Lingo) I was lucky to ski on Mt Rainier, The Black Forest, Garmisch, Zugspitzes, and the Alps. But have never been to Vermont or Colorado.
After serving active duty I was called back to Stuttgart, Germany for Desert Storm. My wife-to-be was thrilled!!! (sarcasm intended) I flew out on Christmas morning and wouldn't be back until AFTER our wedding day. But Uncle Sam didn't ruin those plans..I flew back the day before the wedding and was suppose to fly back the following Tuesday...My mother in law had other plans...she had a Heart attack at the wedding. Welcome to the family Bob. (she's just fine now) I was able to stay home a little longer due to "immediate" family emergency.
Always wanted to be a Pilot. Fresh out of high school I had a full Navy ROTC scholarship...went for the physical and ended up walking out. They informed me that I had a astigmatism in my left eye. No Naval Aviator in my future...no need to join the Navy. Army GI Bill here I come. I still have hopes of acquiring my pilots license. I fly a mean MS Flight Simulator. Nancy Bravo Six Four out.
Computers/Internet have been my passion. My first computer was the TRS 80 from radio shack with a cassette tape back up and 2400 baud modem. I learned key punch for a card reader to program the Mamoth IBM computerat Gulf Research in High School. I have been a nerd forever. But never pursued a career in computers. I have always been that IT guy in any office I worked in. Next month, I am going for a Microsoft Certification course. One of many, if I have my way...It's going to be my fall back.

That was tough...again, refer to number one. I guess in MeMe traditions... I need to pick three.

Bob, maybe you and Al Gorithm can get your pilots license together! I'll be on the ground taking pictures.

I just saw the tags, lol.

Bob --Great MEME and you have had your share of experiences. I got my pilots license in 1959 and I solo'd in a Cessna 145 tail number 2820N. Just go get your license, you will never regret it. Aloha

Bob, love your picture!!! I'm glad you mother in law is fine, but what a welcome!! Hope you were still able to get a honeymoon!

Chris, Yeah... and we'll take Jack and Bennie the fat dog flying with us.

Thanks Bruce, funny how you always remember your first... mine was Angela.

Sarah, It was a Great welcome...still great people!!!

Thanks for the personal information!

God Bless the US military! God Bless You!

Nice to know more about you,Bob. Glad you got tagged.

Bob - So fun learning more about you. Wow - you've had some pretty exceptional experiences so far. It will be interesting to read your MeMe 20 years from now and see what stands out. I'm looking forward to hearing more from Linda and Cheryl. Thanks for tapping me on the shoulder as one of your 3 picks. MeMe's are a fun introspective process. You mother-in-law was sure a thoughtful gal to assure that you'd have a honeymoon. Hope you've thanked her for that by now.

Bob - That was some wedding story - it must have been such a stressful time for your wife. Glad everything turned out well.

Bob great stuff man! Mother In Law having heart attack at wedding---thats a new one! (Of course I know she is fine now)

Be sure to bring your nerdness back after the classes and teach us some techie stuff ok ???

Thanks Steve...I really enjoyed my military days

Marlene, I couldn't think of a better person to MeMe... Before Uncle Sam stepped in, we were going to Myrtle Beach for a week, but we ended up in Niagara Falls for a couple days while my mother in law recouperated.

Maureen, I think that is why the mother in law had a heart attack...her daughter drove her crazy.

Michele, I have been neglecting that side of me...I guess I should start writing some more techie stuff.

Bob,

So there is a serious side to you....great that you got through writing this painful meme, your comments grack me up around the rain! :)

Suzanne, Shhh...don't tell anyone. I don't want people to think I know what I am talking about half the time.

Thanks for sharing Bob! I have studied for the Microsoft Office Users Cert. and still have not done so....one day.

Love your wedding picture! (I never knew MP was mop pusher...thought it was military police) lol.

Thanks Sally, Did I say Mop Pusher, I meant Multi-Purpose. Good luck on your MS cert.

That was pretty funny. Thanks

I think you should write a whole blog post about your wedding. It sounds quite interesting. You can leave the honeymoon part out unless you really want to.

Linda, The return from Desert Storm was the real story. LOL not the Honeymoon. You're up next...

I would love if you talked about yourself more often Bob. You make me laugh and your wit also makes me respect you. I'd trust you any day of the week with business...and as a friend. Just no more Moo-Moo graphics, OK:-)?

Bob - enjoyed your Meme - sounds like you married into the perfect family - somehow I imagine the unexpected is often expected there - am I right? Do you ski much anymore? It's not something I've ever been around being a FL native - just curious?

OK. I posted mine. I didn't tag anybody else yet, though. Any volunteers?

Jason, Grrrr...see number one.

Cyndee. They are great in-laws. Not many people can say that. Skiing went to the weigh-side awhile ago...just disappeared. :(

Cheryl, I going over to see it right now.

Thanks for the meme. You were at Fort Lewis. We were almost neighbors.

Thanks for stopping by Steve. King of the House? Would that fit better in King County? :)

You think the Mom-in-law was trying to tell you something? Or was she trying to get you a few extra days at home?

The camera is still messing up. I am just trying to get by until I have time to send it in somewhere.

Oh well!

Bob,

I've been doing that as much as possible. Sometimes I need the wider show so I just leave the spot. Other times I crop some of it. Oh well.

Thanks,

Lucky :)
