Texas Aggies

fillerGently resisting change since 1876filler

Me in a T-37
This is NOT what Jimbo Wales meant when he said to "ignore all rules."

I am a 29 year old, Captain in the United States Air Force. I am waiting to begin Combat Systems Operator training (formerly known as Undergraduate Navigator Training ) at Randolph Air Force Base. I was previously assigned as a Communications Officer in the 16th Special Operations Wing (now the 1st Special Operations Wing) at Hurlburt Field, Florida. I have two deployments to the Middle East, four lengthy assignments to Air Force schools, and am a graduate of the Dynamics of International Terrorism class taught at the Air Force Special Operations School. Prior to that assignment, I spent 5 years at Texas A&M University, a Senior Military College, where I graduated in 2002 with a degree in computer science and a minor in mathematics.

I was born at Carswell Air Force Base (in an interesting coincidence, it was named after a fellow Texas Aggie Horace S. Carswell, Jr., Texas A&M class of 1938, a Medal of Honor recipient) in Fort Worth, Texas. My father was a member of the Air Force in the Strategic Air Command where he flew the F-111, B-52, and RC-135 S & X models; he retired as a Colonel and now works as a vice president of the Syracuse Research Corporation. From the place of my birth, my family moved around quite a bit: first to Sacramento, California, then Omaha, Nebraska, then North Pole, Alaska, back to Omaha, on to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and finally San Antonio, Texas. During this time, my mother became involved with Bible Study Fellowship and she now works as their Executive Secretary. In addition, my brother was born at Mather Air Force Base. He also went to Texas A&M and serves in the Air Force as a Civil Engineer. We are both married to wives who graduated from Big 12 schools and have far more education than us. I now have two sons with the most recent being born on 27 August 2007.

For those interested in my name, BQ stands for, historically, "band qualified" or, colloquially, "band queer" in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band in the Corps of Cadets. Zip is a nickname for a senior in the Corps and 2001 is my class year at Texas A&M University.

For those interested in the discrepancy between my graduation date and my class year, at Texas A&M, it is customary to be assigned your class year based on when you entered the school (i.e. the freshmen starting in Fall of 2000 are the class of 2004). Nothing you do changes that class year, even if you graduate "late." I graduated late because my degree plan required 135+ hours and my ROTC credit hours (28 of them) did not count towards that degree.

As of Saturday, January 11, 2025, 19:10 (UTC/GMT).
there are 6,938,612 articles in the English language Misplaced Pages.

Good quotes

The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong Delta. An overheated private removed his flak jacket, revealing a t-shirt with an iron-on sporting the Mad slogan 'Up with miniskirts!'

Well, we all had a good laugh (even though I didn't quite understand it). But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the states, but <sigh> they just can't get the spices right.

Interesting Facts

I have been within 10 yards of a bear in the wild; I was not protected by anything...and I was 10 years old at the time.

I am one of a limited number of westerners who has been to North Korea. I did this when I visited Korea in 2000 as a cadet in the Joint Security Area .

In my 28 years, I have experienced air temperatures as low as -78°F and as high as 132°F. These are not windchill or heat index temperatures and represent a range greater than from water freezing to boiling. It's 210°F of difference, folks!

That Good Old Baylor Line!
We're forty points behind
We're gonna lose another game
Our team's a waste of time
The coach is drawing plays
We hear the churchbells chime
But all our prayers won't end our fears
That Good Old Baylor Line!

University of Colorado

Rocky Mountain High

University of Nebraska
