| What do you like most about Drumline? | I liked the feeling when everything was tight and everyone was on time and the beat sounded,...As One. |
What do you like least about Drumline? | I didnt like Mr. Wolfe and I also didnt like being told what to do.I cant say that where I am at now I have much choice but still, I Was a DAMN DRUMMER!!! Not a Percussionist!!! |
Describe your best Drumline memory. | One of my best drumline memories is watching Brian Lane chase Danny Selsor around the room after we called him fat. Ha Ha. It was a sight. I miss them alot. |
What would you do if you were Drum Captain for a day? | I dont think that people would like having me as a drum Captain for a day because I also played Snare Drum through Tech School for the Air Force and I was the Section leader there, and I tell you what, it was kind of like being a Drill Instructor. I dont think that the drummers now a days would like me very much. I think that I would be kind of a hard ass. Expecially to those who could not march. If you cant feel the beat with your left foot than you should not play. |
Name something unique about yourself. | Somthing Unique about myself...... O.k.,
I am in the USAF, I was in the 5th airborne team Combat Control,(Special Forces for the AF) headed for IRAQ. I have been there and back and I have kicked a lot of ass along the way. I am now stationed in Spangdahlem Germany drinking a lot of GOOD BEER!! I am currently a Airman 1st Class and heading for a Senior Airman position or at least a Buck Sergeant. I am now offically a Kick Ass Fighting Machine!! |
What are your plans for the future? | My plans are to keep fighting for free, and to be able to kill people legally. I hope to transfer to the Iowa Air National Guard in December of 04. I have to wait for some paperwork to go through though. |
Fill in anything you might want to say. | My Trials and Tributes have taught me along the way to give it your best. A fallen soldier gave me some advise one day that has stuck with me and will for the rest of my life. " There is nothing to it, but to do it!!!" I use that with my everyday life and it makes me feel unstopable. DONT GIVE UP ON ANYTHING!!! |
