Bump for more!
Got promoted to Staff Sergeant in 4 and a half years going from E-4 to E-6 in 7 months...I'm proud of that one!!!
That's impressive Tango. I remember guys who were
E-5's for like, 16 years....those guys got no respect.
racked up a great ranking in grappling
After a decade of wanting to do it I booked travel to train in Thailand !!
I don't post very often but feel it's time to start spreading the gospel more. After seeing UFC 1 live I knew this was the most exciting event in the world. My friend and I went to UFC 3 in North Carolina. My friend was roommates in Japan for Judo with Christophe Leinenger that fought that night against Ken Shamrock. I went to UFC 4,5,7,8(walked fighter in ring)11,and countless more. I met Tank Abbot and Tito Ortiz before they competed in the UFC. I had amateur MMA sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for the first time. The show had Big John McCarthy, Bruce Buffer, and many other MMA enthusiasts. I want to thank all the fans and fighters that make this sport grown event more! Here's to another excellent year of MMA! Cheers and no fears, Barry Meyer TUFF (THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING FAN)

Someone really liked me... and it's not that hard to do in Air Defense. DOR for Sgt is Oct 05 - DOR for SSG is May 06.
I was pinned Cpl, and really had no clue how to be an NCO. Being too nice, didn't follow through with checking on stuff, soldiers taking advantage of me. Was a really weak leader.
Had this Plt. Leader who was a straight BITCH...got the job done to a ridiculously high standard, but had terrible ways of doing so...destroying my self confidence and belittleing (sp?)me in front of all the soldiers and whatnot. I finally realized exactly what it took to be a good NCO. Now it's easy...
And yes...it takes alot of dedication to get promoted that fast fcfighter1. Even in my MOS.
Broke my foot doing a foot sweep and placed 3rd in a local tourny.
This was an unbelievable year.
Got married to my highschool sweetheart
Got my Black Belt in BJJ
Got a Black Belt in KBoxing
Bought a rental house
