I'M RECENTLY RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY, 2 YEARS AGO. I SPENT 4 YEARS IN THE MARINES. 8 YEARS IN THE ARMY SPECIAL FORCES. AND 8 YEARS AS AN AIR FORCE 'CHOPPER' PILOT, OUT OF 14 YEARS. LEFT THE MILITARY AS A LT. COLONEL. I HAD DUEL RESIDENCY IN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA. I LIVE NEAR LAUGHLIN AND LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, OFF THE COLORADO RIVER. I'M DIVORCED, WITH 3 CHILDREN AND 5 GRANDKIDS. MY KIDS DIDN'T HAVE TELEVISION FOR AWHILE, I GUESS. (GRANDKIDS ?..JOKE..GET IT?) OH WELL. I'M 5' 8", WEIGH 165, MOST OF THE TIME, UNLESS I FREQUENT THE 'BUFFETS' TOO OFTEN. THEN I SUFFER THE 'DUNLAP EFFECT'. MY STOMACH DUN LAPS OVER MY BELT. I ENJOY CAMPING OUT IN THE HIGH SIERRAS, FISHING, IN OTHER WORDS..PLAYING "RANGER SMITH". THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH OF THAT IN THE MILITARY. GUESS NOT. I LOVE FINE FOODS AND THE CASINOS, WHERE I'M 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM. ASK ME MORE QUESTIONS IF I DIDN'T ADDRESS ANY CURIOUSITIES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT ME. I AM LOOKING FOR A WOMAN WHO ENJOYS DOING THINGS AT THE SPUR OF THE MONENT. GRAB YOUR COAT, WE'RE GOING TO FLORIDA FOR A WEEKEND AT DISNEYWORLD. LOOKS DO NOT MATTER TO ME, JUST HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY, BE HONEST, AND IF YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR, THAT WOULD BE NICE. MY HUMOR IS ALL ENCOMPASSING, FROM SILLY TO THE MORBID. LAUGH AND THE WHOLE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU, CRY AND YOU CRY ALONE. TERRIBLE, HUH? I HAVE MORE COMPASSION THEN THAT. I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE ALOT OF EMPATHY FOR PEOPLE, I'M PEOPLE ORIENTATED AND ENJOY BEING THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. I DO HAVE MY SILENT MOMENTS, AS WELL. I LOVE TO CUDDLE. WHICH MAN DOESN'T. WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS IN YOUR EAR AND OCCASSIONALY NIBBLE IT. I DISLIKE RUDE, CRUDE AND OUTSPOKEN WOMAN. ESPECIALLY PRETENTIOUS ONES WHO THINK THAT THEY ARE IN A HIGHER SOCIAL CLASS, THAN A HUMAN ONE. ITS SO PASSE AND TOTALLY "GHETTO", TO ME. THERE'S MORE. JUST ASK ME.

MY FIRST DATE WOULD DEPEND ENTIRELY ON HER AND WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO. SHOULD I PICK HER UP AND GO TO A SHOW AND DINNER, IN LAS VEGAS, OR GO HORSEBACK RIDING, OR THE BEACH. I CAN BE VERY ACCOMMODATING AND DISTANCE IS NO PROBLEM. LET ME CLEAR UP ONE MATTER, NOW. A FORMER COMPUTER DATE THAT I HAD CORRESPONDED WITH, HAD A PROBLEM ABOUT MY FINANCIAL PROSPERITY. I'M NOT BRAGGING ABOUT IT, SO DON'T THINK THAT, PLEASE. I AM FINANCIALLY SECURE, SO I CAN GO WHEN AND WHERE I WANT AND TAKE WHOM EVER I WANT, ANYPLACE 'WE' MIGHT WANT TO GO. "NO BRAG...JUST FACT." SO, AGAIN, I SAY THAT IT WOULD BE UP TO MY DATE, AS TO WHERE SHE WOULD PREFER TO GO AND WHAT TO DO.THOUGH I LIVE HERE, I CAN BE ' THERE' AS WELL. TOO DEEP. SORRY, I'LL GET THE BOOTS. (HA)
