I'm a veteran. I served with the Marine Corps but was a Navy corpsman. I served 8 years before becoming a civil servant at Naval Medical Center, San Diego, for a decade. All my friends either served in the military or played football or basketball with me at some point. I love being a black nerd because it subverts people's expectations of me. I like nerd culture, like anime and old movies. I recently discovered my love for books. I have a hard time reading them, though. I have many symptoms of dyslexia. I love watching sports like USA soccer, tennis, and any Olympic sport, but the good old NBA and NFL are my favorites. I moved from California, the greatest state in the Union, to live in Georgia, a close number three.
