both very good, but i deffinately like losing the virginity thought... maybe just maybe one day i will know what thats like lmao lol.gif

 

3 months before the impending wedding, finding out my Fiancee (at the time) was using drugs, gotten us $75,000 into debt (buying drugs), hadn't paid a single bill in the last 4 months (including the mortgage) and was doing her dealer for more drugs.

That one rates right up there....

 

damn thats pretty sh*ty man!

 

Flying over Somalia with a C-130 full of beans, rice, water, and cooking oil. I looked out the window and saw hundreds if not thousands of people walking down the roads, they were abandoning their villages and heading to the feeding centers where we were bringin there food. It was the moment I realized I had made the right choice by joining the Air Force.

The first cry from my three boys after they were born. The last one (Jacob) was stubborn, but after a couple minutes he finally let it out.

Those are two of my most memorable from my adult life.

 

I would say that nearly dying in a car crash with my friend was pretty memorable...couldn't keep my eyes open around a curve or drive for about 3 months...My friend was driving and goin about 70 mph when we hit a telephone pole sideways on the passenger side, pole hit right where i put my shoulder to protect my head, flipped and rolled twice, my head went through the windshield (i had my seatbelt on thank god) because when the car landed, it crushed the roof in toward me...when we finally came to a stand still, all that I had wrong with me was a bloody nose and burn on my face from the airbag, and a cut on my knee...I won't let people not wear seatbelts...and that's my reason...

 

In short: Toby, and just being alive.

 

My most memorable moment is not exactly a fun one to remember.

Two years ago this June, I was coming home from work at 2:15 in the morning when I came across a car accident on the Atlantic City Expressway. It looked like the driver of a white Elantra had fallen asleep and tagged the guardrail. About a dozen people pulled over and there was another car that was parked down the road some and sort of in the road.. I thought it odd at the time, but nothing more.

The driver of the Elantra was wandering around with a cut on his forhead and while I was on my cell to 911, somebody put him back in his car to sit and wait. As I was telling the police where the accident was, a dark Acura SUV nearly hit me at 70+ Mph and slammed into the wrecked Elantra. How this idiot was able tp miss the dozen cars all on the side of the road with their hazard lights on, I will never know.

The guy who had been driving the Elantra died because of that second accident. As soon as the Acura hit the Elantra, the other white car (the one I had thought parked odd) took off and was never seen again. I spent the next ten minutes trying to save the guys life. I have never been so tired in my life from doing CPR. Unfortunatly, there was nothing I could do. He died under my care, my watch, my hands.

Some things make you stop and wonder.

 

Of course the most memorable moment was getting married to my wife BUT The greatest moment I had was when I graduated from college with honors. I can't tell you how it felt..it was just AWESOME!!! I obsorbed every moment and lived it up to it's fullest, it was just the perfect moment. I was on a high from that for a week after graduation.
