MySpace a place for friends

SPIRIT AND DISCIPLINE...
Hello! my name is Josh. I live in sunny Cape Coral, FL. I like dogs, windy days, movies, and sitting around. My favorites include: Snow, the color blue, medium rare steak with a baked potato, spending a rainy day in bed, cuddling naked, and a good movie. I dislike: Tattoos, piercings, and onions. I have a strong desire to help others and make new friends. Those who know me will most likely tell you that I make friends easily. Although I am outgoing I am not big into partying or drinking. I hate having to work but if I was rich I would live a modest life. If I was elected president I would help the homeless and push for socialized medicine. Also I am serving in the United States Marine Corps as a CBRN defense specialist - and in case you were wondering, its ok. Bored? my AIM SN is jltd1.

CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, AND NUCLEAR
CBRN defense specialists associate themselves with the maintenance, storage, serviceability, and operation of CBRN Defense equipment and supplies. CBRN specialists assist, conduct, and supervise training in CBRN reconnaissance and survey, chemical detection and identification, biological agent collection and sampling, decontamination of personnel and equipment, and in individual protective measures and first aid for Marines and Sailors. CBRN specialists also function in combat operations centers capable of: maintaining operation journals, message folders, and provide input for implementation into combat operation plans/orders. CBRN specialists provide technical information to the commander relative to radiation exposure status, location of contaminated land areas on the battlefield, and readiness status of their unit's CBRN defense equipment.

The man who will go where his colors go, without asking, who will fight a phantom foe in the jungle and mountain range, without counting, and who will suffer and die in the midst of incredible hardship, without complaint, is still what he has always been, from Imperial Rome to sceptered Britain to democratic America. He is the stuff of which legions are made... His pride is in his colors and his regiment, his training hard and thorough and coldly realistic, to fit him for what he must face... and his obedience is to his orders. He has been called United States Marine.

PLACES TO SEE BEFORE I DIE

Grand Teton National Park is located in northwestern Wyoming, preserving a spectacular landscape rich with majestic mountains, pristine lakes and extraordinary wildlife. The abrupt vertical rise of the jagged Teton Range contrasts with the horizontal sage-covered valley and glacial lakes at their base, creating world-renowned scenery that attracts nearly four million visitors per year.

Redwood National and State Parks are home to some of the world's tallest trees: old-growth coast redwoods. They can live to be 2000 years old and grow to over 300 feet tall. Spruce, hemlock, Douglas-fir, berry bushes, and sword ferns create a multiple canopied understory that towers over all visitors. The parks' mosaic of habitats include prairie/oak woodlands, mighty rivers and streams, and 37 miles of pristine Pacific coastline. Cultural landscapes reflect American Indian history. The more recent logging history has led to much restoration of these parks.

Alaska is a U.S. state, located on the northwest tier of North America. It is by far the largest state in area, but one of the least populated. It is the 49th state, having been admitted to the Union on January 3, 1959. The name "Alaska" is most likely derived from the Aleut Alyeska, meaning "great country", "mainland" or "great land".

London is the capital city of England and of the United Kingdom, and is the most populous city in the European Union.

Fourth Stanza of the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key, 1814

Christian tradition gives to St. Michael four offices:

-To fight against Satan.
-To rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death.
-To be the champion of God's people, the Jews in the Old Law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church, and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages.
-To call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment ("signifer S. Michael repraesentet eas in lucam sanctam", Offert. Miss Defunct. "Constituit eum principem super animas suscipiendas", Antiph. off. Cf. "Hermas", Pastor, I, 3, Simil. VIII, 3).
