My name is Melody. I have two wonderful daughters (18 & 19 years old). I tend to brag more on them than myself, but the title doesn't say who we are to brag on, so I'm good there! I also have an awesome husband (Marine and Biker!)

I love smileys I also enjoy anything musical (my parents had a great sense of humor naming me Melody with a last name of Harmon)! I was introduced as Melody Harmony more than once before I got married!

I joined the National Guard in January, and I am preparing for Basic Training now. I leave for BCT at the end of May.

You can find my info here: Lt. Col. Tom O'Dea reporting in as ordered.

And, oh yes, I am a moderator.

wow tomtom congratz!! thats really great and thanks for serving! i always love a good military story

I'm the 13th Redneck. Been here since sometime mid 2004 I think.
Served 2 years in the RoK Marines and currently I'm a reservist. I was planning on being an Army NCO here but my wife and I decided to go to the US instead so I left half way through NCO school and cancelled my contract. Hopefully we'll make it to America to study.
I am 27 years old, married and our second kid is due sometime in August.
I like martial arts and military stuff and I have a low tolerance for bull sh*t. I've always had an issue with anger which was the topic of the evening as my old man recounted past disasters involving myself and that particular emotional state.
I am on the sh*t list of a lot of relatives. Apparently I'm an a$$ hole of a high caliber.
Also a big soccer fan, though I prefer to play the indoor game instead of the outdoor game.

I'm mmarsh, originally from the Big Apple although I currently based in Paris France due to my job (I have some relatives here too). Been here since 2004.

Never been in the military myself (to my great regret) but I come from a very long history of US Army Officers. Perhaps (if its not too late) Ill join the Guard, but chances are that I am/will be too old. "C'est la vie" as the French say. A small piece of advice for the youngsters here: don't piss away your chances if you what to do something: DO IT. Don't be a fool and piss away your best years like I did.

Last thing I'll say is that I am a total Computer Nerd, being both my passion and profession. If anyone has any questions about anything PC (Systems or Network) related start a thread or drop a PM, I will answer any question to the best of my ability.

Oh yes, I am getting married the following weekend (so that's cool too).

congratz to both of you redneck and mmarsh! good luck and im happy for ya'll!

im kind of a computer nerd too, i know a lot of stuff about them but would like to learn lots more. i gain more knowledge by doing hands on stuff. i once fixed 2 of my playstations just by taking them apart and fooling around with them:P

Thats pretty cool ....As for me..well...I can't wait for the summer vacation, yay!!!! I will only be off 5 weeks though since I'll be working on my Degree in Counseling the first part of the summer....oh, well....at least I'll have days off with pay shoes! shoes! LOL,

I guess I'll do my part.

Found out a week or so ago that I might be slated for Op PODIUM, which is the Canadian Forces 'help' with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and Paralympics. So anyone who'll be in that area between January and March, feel free to give me a holler.

Also, getting promoted to Corporal in September.
