Got muddy with the Marine infantry then progressed to Recon. Interests are, of course, reef keeping, guppy breeding, hunting (especially w/ bow), fishing, beer brewing and MMA fighting. I don't mean watching UFC. I train in hopes of getting into the ring in the near future.

I am Perry and am an engineer and ops guy that ended up here by accident. My advice to those folks that are 40'ish that meet a young chick in her 20's is don't do it.

My background is in engineering and ops and I am currently helping a company move forward and it is torturous.

I am single but have a cool GF and between the Beemer and her way nice 4x4 and some drive seem to be having the time of our lives.

I am researching a good hunting rifle and have fishing gear for a crappie to a marlin.

Not much else to say I guess.

Good news Medic.

I helped design and build that pad you slap on folks under cardiac arrest and the interface cables and those golden five minutes and the expertise of the guys like you on the ground are the entire banana.

One of my mentors was a professor from Belfast Northern Ireland that was the first guy that dreamed of putting this technology on an ambulance. It weighed 400 pounds.

Our EMT's are some folks that are underpaid and earn their check beyond what folks know.

I couldn't be an EMT. Had no problems patching up grunts and pilots. But I couldn't deal with injured children. EMTs are unsung heros.

Wow now i'm blushing great thanks alot LOL , no but seriously i love my job and i guess the hardest part would be kids or kids who just lost both their parents in a wreck or fire or something. but there are so many rewarding aspects of the job! And for the record the oilfield was the best job i ever had i loved it. My step dad is the big cheese for great divide mud logging
