Where are you from? I was born in Beaumont Tx on the Louisianna Texas Border, but spent my school years on a dirt patch in Oklahoma. Dad is from Louisianna, mom was from Oklahoma by the Red River.
I'm exiled like Napoleon right now in Colorado, but I'm working a deal with Rouge Spear to get back to what I consider home, Texas.
Nbforrest can tell you his own story, it's good one.

I'm from 'God's Little Acre'. Known to some as Liverpool, England!
Oh, by the way, I was born in the front room of 129 Harefield Road.
I passed by there the other day but they haven't got round to putting up the blue plaque, yet.

South Wales. I live a few hundred yards from the hospital I was born at, which has nearly been demolished because the government decided it would be a splendid idea to build a new hospital a few miles away that is prone to staff shortages and other problems that the old hospital apparently didn't have.

I grew up in Islington and Hackney, London and when my folks died when I was 17 I moved to Canada to live with my uncle. When I was 18 I joined 2 PPCLI (92), and applied for my jump course soon after BIQ. I passed it and joined 3 Commando. Several months later we were disbanded and I was sent back to 2PPCLI, from there we were going to be sent to Shilo, so I jumped ship and transfered to 1 PPCLI in Edmonton.
Thats me :|
