:roll: Okay, I'll elaborate. I already admitted to the celtic one through pm that because of youth I have not had hundreds of hours of combat experience but heres just a flavor of me.
Growing up I was kind of the awkward kid. Didn't have many friends my own age so I hung out with adults mostly. A number of them were law enforcement. You'd be surprised some of the stories that will tell a kid. Imagine letting your ten year old watch "COPS uncensored". Second, almost all of the men on my father's side were in the military. My cousin Owen is God only knows where. He's TOP SECRET status communication technologies specialist whose second language was farsee. (Kinda shot himself with that one). As you could imagine, these encounters prompted not only alot of questions about stuff but alot of reading as well. I'm probably better at urban type assault. Maybe I should become a cop or something. I'm not really fanatical about armed services but I'm open to the option. My brother and I are probably the first men in my family that have not faught in a war.
As far as cqb is concerned, my main experience began in high school when a friend of mine had been studying martial arts since he was nine (I think). He and his whole family were gun enthusiasts and he was a bit paranoid about the "possibilities" of being attacked in close quarters. Long story short. He was my first roomate straight out of high school and because he no longer had his father to spar with, I became his punching bag. You can learn alot when you are getting your butt kicked every night for a year. That didn't even include all the stuff we did in high school.
I've discovered that I'm a south paw street brawler type personality.
And hey, have you played Metal Gear Solid 3?
