That is a HUGE family, Kapitan. HUGE!

My name is Kiwi, I live in New Zealand. I plan to join the police, RNZN, RNZAF or other govt. department after uni. I am 21...or so they say.

Also, I'll give you a hand with that research, Kapitan. I have a very big interest in the Chinese navy myself. Am heading to Hong Kong hopefully next so I'll get quite a few pics, if not a set of plans of anything I can find.

Name: Jason

About me:

Born in southern California and then later moved to the central coast. I have traveled all around the country, mainly going to biker rallys such as Sturgis, Reno, Laughlin, Hollister, etc...

I bounced from school to school and didn't get settled down until 5th grade. That didn't last that long either. My true passion is in cars and racing. I grew up around Chevys and small blocks. Drag racing, dirt track racing, flat track racing, circle track racing, you name it, I love it! I currently own a 1987 Camaro and spend all my money making it go faster.

Aside from racing though, I am an avid reader and love history. I am the kind of person that tries to know a little about everything and a lot about nothing. I also love flying. I have taken an introductory course already and I aim to get my license. It is kind of funny, even though I have always loved flying, I had never flown in a plane until a few months ago, during my introductory course! I told them about my flight sims and they let me take off and fly to my house unassisted. My flight instructor had to set her down for me though! (Although I am pretty sure I had it covered!)

It is strange too, I had always hated the navy and anything to do with boats. I always hated large bodies of water most of all! That all changed a bit lately though, I have taken a great interest in subs and naval warfare. Can't get enough of it lately! I think that the only reason I didn't like anything to do with water in the first place was a childhood thing... Better not go there! lol

Oh yeah, what am I going to do in my future? No idea! I have searched hard and deep and only know what I am not going to do. I am not going to work in an office. I am not going to do anything that I find boring. I could not stand any 9-5 job! (Am I in trouble here or what?)

Here is what I see as a possible future: Become a commercial pilot, join the military, find someone to sponsor me in circle track racing, build race engines, start an autobody shop, run my own business, (that is what I am currently doing now to support my car!) or last but not least: become a bum and travel America.

That's all I gotta say about that. :hmm:

Kapitain, since the topic is "about you", I have to comment that your English grammar has deteroriated since I am not correcting you anymore!
Remember about the capitals and the interpunction?

Kapitan · 12-16-05, 08:15 AM

shhhhh im i bilingual illiterate

Abraham · 12-16-05, 08:24 AM

Don't give me that shhhhh, Kapitain; just two monts ago you were making progress!

So here we go again:
It's not: "shhhhh im i bilingual illiterate"
but :"Shhhhh, you are a bilingual illiterate!"

Almost afraid to post here!

Name:

Age: I got out of the U.S. Submarine force a year before Kapitain was born!

About me:
When I was young (like Kapitain) I thought cruising through the ocean at 400 plus feet at ultra-quite in trail of a cold war enemy SSBN was stressful.

Doesn't even compare with keeping up with my three sons (ages 6,7,&11).

Subservice was a piece of cake and I'd do it again

Wow! Almost 12 years later.

Kapitain would be almost 30 now.

And my kids, the 11 year old graduated college this summer and starts teaching 7th grade next month. My 7 year old graduated high school last year, finished his first year of college and joined the Army National Guard. And my 6 year old will be starting his senior year of high school in three weeks.

Where the hell has the time gone!!!

Sailor Steve · 07-31-17, 10:00 PM

Yes, time does fly. Thanks for the reminder of your previous post, and for the update.
