I took John Kerry's advice and went to college so I didn't have to be stuk in Irak. More accurately, I wasn't allowed to join because of my severe flat feet. The recruiter dude said I wouldn't be able to wear combat boots.

Amen and thank you to all you guys who did serve.

A small country town called Wildeflecken. It was about an hour from Fulda. I had a lot of fun, but I got in a lot of trouble too!
