I am 18 and i am leaving to the United States Army on July 25 of 2009. I know  taijutsu, kendo, and ninjutsu. I am learning judo from a friend. I am engaged and she is also joining the army. She graduates soon since she is a year younger than me. She is going into the army as an MP and i am going in as an infantrymen. I am 6 feet tall, i look small but if you want to fight me i can give you a run for your money. I might not look it but i can pick up and walk with over 300 pounds and can knock out people who are bigger and stronger than me. I was in ninjutsu when i was 10 and my school was shut down due to a student using what he learned at our school and some of our schools equipment to rob a corner store. Not like they handed out anything dangerous but they also taught kendo there and yeah bokkens are wood and wood can hurt. I have lost 6 friends in the last couple of years in Iraq. I do plan on going over there to fight and to watch my other 4 friends backs. Before you ask yes i know i can die and no i am not afraid to die. I am more afraid of the pain during death rather than death itself.
