Thread: The benefits of military service ...

So I spent most of today hanging around w/ Montel Williams. What a great guy. And here's a pic of me meeting w/ Allen West last month. You meet some great people in my line of work.

Did you convert him to using a straight razor?

Oh, now we're name dropping huh? But seriously I myself am a huge fan of Allen West. In my opinion, he's a man who has done, and should continue to do, great things for his country.

I was joking with him about running for president. He didn't seem to mind. And yes, dropping names all over the place!

When I was in I met Jessica Simpson and it was in Bahrain and she puked on one of the ships and almost passed out. I got to do security detail for Sway Calloway and O.P.P. I also got to do it for Michelle Rodriguez and the cast of Avatar. I got to meet Buzz Aldrin when I was doing gate watch. He was pretty cool and definitely the most respectable person I met. Oh and I got to meet the king of Bahrain and a couple of the princes.

I couldn't stop laughing either when it happened. It was in Bahrain in the middle of summer so you figure 110 degrees plus on the pier so super humid and she was on a small coast guard boat and it was rocking from another boat passing. We were all just kinda sitting there taking pictures and what not and all of a sudden she barfs and starts to collapse. We all look at each other like "Did that just happen" and then I started laughing. Needless to say I was not nor currently am a big fan of her and it was funny to see her being all kinda stuck up and then puke.

I used to be afraid on the C130s about getting sick. There is nowhere to go in the jump seats and you're going to get laughed at non-stop. When you drop into a hot zone, those things land QUICK. Below is a pic from when we went into Kandahar. 500 mph to zero in about 2 minutes.

Ah Bahrain. Garden spot of the Persian Gulf.


Thank God for the Desert Dome...(yeah, you Sailors know what I'm talkin' 'bout...)


I once made fun of Ashton Kutcher to his face and Brittany Murphy laughed with me. True story.
