I like to read and write. I enjoy hiking, camping (and yet I am not a big hunter or fisherman), exploring historic places. Climbing the tall stairs at lighthouses. Military History Buff.

Is this a loaded question or what??? A sense of humor is a must. A friendly smile. Warm, beautiful eyes. The beach at sunrise or sunset. Being out in the middle of the ocean on a clear and stary night.
TURN OFF'S
DRAMA. People from Africa or such asking for money to get back to the States. The over usage of swear words. Disrespectful attitude.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Garden City, Mich., a small town outside of Detroit. I had ran away and joined the circus (ok, the US Navy) in 1985. I had served on the USS Narwhal SSN-671, USS Nashville LPD-13 and the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72. I retired out of service in 2005. I am divorced with 2 beautiful kids. Currently I am a Marine Mechanic, fixing Navy Ships, in Seattle WA.
I have never understood why anyone would sign up on a social network, sit around and then wonder why its not working or why the site is boring. The success of any online social network community depends solely on YOU. That means the next time you hear one of your friends complaining that they don't like another site they belong to, or anyone has a family member or friend deployed, or someone needing some support in any way... or that it's so hard to make friends, that's the perfect opportunity for you to invite them on MILPLACE. Use the Invite Tab on the top navigation bar to invite your friends and help spread the word about the resources we have available.
Get busy connecting! Yes that's what we do here. No fun if you sign up and never come back or do anything. Explore all that the site has to offer you. Or what you have to offer the site!! Things like forums, chat with other members who are online with you, blogs, photo galleries, game arcades and even create your own Group(s) within the community. You can designate it by any topic of interest, hobby, military base, branch of service, unit, moms at your base, spouses who used to be active duty, whatever you want! The point is get involved, share and enjoy MILPLACE!
