Texas Aggies
fillerGently resisting change since 1876filler

I am a 28 year old, First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. I am currently enrolled in undergraduate pilot training at Sheppard Air Force Base in the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program. I was previously assigned as a Communications Officer in the 16th Special Operations Wing (now the 1st Special Operations Wing) at Hurlburt Field, Florida. I have two deployments to the Middle East, two lenghty TDYs to Air Force schools, and am a graduate of the Dynamics of International Terrorism class taught at the Air Force Special Operations School. Prior to that assignment, I spent 5 years at Texas A&M University, a Senior Military College, where I graduated in 2002 with a degree in computer science.

I was born at Carswell Air Force Base (ironically named after a fellow Texas Aggie and Medal of Honor recipient, Horace S. Carswell, Jr., Texas A&M class of 1938) in Fort Worth, Texas. My father was a member of the Air Force in the Strategic Air Command where he flew the F-111, B-52, and RC-135 S & X models; he retired as a Colonel and now works as a vice president of the Syracuse Research Corporation. From the place of my birth, my family moved around quite a bit: first to Sacramento, California, then Omaha, Nebraska, then North Pole, Alaska, back to Omaha, on to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and finally San Antonio, Texas. During this time, my mother became involved with Bible Study Fellowship and she now works as their Executive Secretary. In addition, my brother was born at Mather Air Force Base. He also went to Texas A&M and serves in the Air Force as a Civil Engineer. We are both married to wives who graduated from Big 12 schools and have far more education than us. I have one son and another "unknown" on the way.

For those interested in my name, BQ stands for, historically, "band qualified" or, colloquially, "band queer" in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band in the Corps of Cadets. Zip is a nickname for a senior in the Corps and 2001 is my class year at Texas A&M University.

For those interested in the discrepancy between my graduation date and my class year, at Texas A&M, it is customary to be assigned your class year based on when you entered the school (i.e. the freshmen starting in Fall of 2000 are the class of 2004). Nothing you do changes that class year, even if you graduate "late." I graduated late because my degree plan required 135+ hours and my ROTC credit hours (28 of them) did not count towards that degree.

[edit] Good quotes

“	The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong Delta. An overheated private removed his flak jacket, revealing a t-shirt with an iron-on sporting the Mad slogan 'Up with miniskirts! Well, we all had a good laugh (even though I didn't quite understand it). But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the states, but <sigh> they just can't get the spices right.	”

“	Just remember...no one's right...and no one's wrong... ...until I say so	”

[edit] Interesting Facts

I have been within 10 yards of a bear in the wild; I was not protected by anything...and I was 10 years old at the time.

I am one of a limited number of westerners who has been to North Korea. I did this when I visited Korea in 2000 as a cadet in the Joint Security Area [1].

In my 28 years, I have experienced air temperatures as low as -78°F and as high as 132°F (these are not windchill or heat index temperatures); that's 210°F of difference, folks!

[edit] Big 12 Questions/Comments

Zero U^link

Why name your teams after people who were, by definition, land thieves?

Why abbreviate 'University of Oklahoma' OU?

Why doesn't Texas slip into the Gulf of Mexico? 'Cause Oklahoma sucks!

Baylor University^link

Cubbies

Only place in the world where premarital sex is discouraged because it might lead to dancing...

A rewrite of their Alma Mater, as sung by the Aggie Bandsmen the week before the annual Battle on the Brazos:

That Good Old Baylor Line!

We're forty points behind

We're gonna lose another game

Our team's a waste of time

The coach is drawing plays

We hear the churchbells chime

But all our prayers won't end our fears

That Good Old Baylor Line!

that overglorified junior college in Austin^link

t.u., teasips

At least our mascot isn't, by definition, castrated (admitedly, ours is an inbred bitch)

We all know that the real UT is a school in Knoxville, Tennessee

University of Kansas^link

Can this football coach honestly tell his players how to get in shape? →

[edit] Aggie joke

It seems that Rock had some wayward friends from Texas Tech [ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss] and t.u. [SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!] and they decided to take a camping trip into the mountains. Rock, being the good Ag that he was, brought along a full keg of beer for the three of them to share.

After hiking to their campsite about 2001 feet (WHOOP!) above the valley floor, they set up, camp cooked dinner, and began to drink the beer as they talked around the campfire. As it usually happens with guys, the discussion turned to who was the toughest.

The tceh tard (who couldn't even spell after 4 years at tceh: see picture to the left), claimed he was the toughest, "I have killed three bears at once with my bare hands!"

The teasip from that overglorified junior college in Austin countered that he was MUCH tougher, "Oh yeah?! I once took on a whole pack of wolves when I had a broken arm! The first 20 I killed with my fingers on my good hand! I tore off my broken arm and beat the remaining 40 into a pulp and them reattached my own arm using fishing line, a rusty hook, and no anesthetic!"

They both then looked over at Rock, expecting him to say something to counter their wild claims. He didn't. Rock just sat there...slowly stirring the coals of the fire with his penis...
