I live in Tacoma Washington.
Judson, 22 years of living on this gravity well, spiraling around this nuclear fireball that somehow keeps us warm. Words of description: single, 'out to lunch', Malformed Public duty gland, and a deficiency in moral fiber precluding me from saving Universes. Possibly a dreamer (jury is still out). A bit rude, a bit crude, a bit into myself.
Nothing of importance: Don't listen to me, because I am mostly out to lunch, and Mostly harmless.

the fuck is swag… is the first question that comes to my head when I see old pictures like this. These guys knew how to dress.

Probably the most insane pan I’ve ever seen besides that luge rider at the last winter Olympics. fuck.
This is a really good photo.
My cammies are green or tan, not grey. My arm says USMC not u.s. army. I say Ooh Rah not hooah. I answer to Marine, wear a blood stripe, and had drill instructors, not drill sergeants. So for the love of God, know the difference and stop calling me a soldier. It’s insulting! I earned my title and would appreciate it if you would call me by what I am, before I axe stomp you in the jaw. Repost if you earned the title US Marine and were born on Parris Island….. Semper Fidelis
I can safely say I cringe when ever people ask me ‘So you are in the Navy(Army, Airforce)?’ I have to tell them to stop before they get hurt… It is rather insulting when people make assumptions, how about you wait until I tell you what service I am in… Don’t try to guess, because 4 to 1 you are wrong…

I love the way this picture was taken. Certain jobs in the military train people to kill. His tattoo is asking for forgiveness for something that he has no control over, forgiveness for having to do his job. Forgiveness because killing may be wrong, but it is the only way he can protect.
ORR maybe forgiveness for any other ‘sins’ he may or may not have committed. or maybe we shouldn’t read too much into his tattoo, and admire it for what it is, an awesome tattoo.
