A Little About Myself
I am Levi Crawford, originally from Portland, Oregon by way of Hawaii, Germany, Virginia, and Georgia. I'm a military brat, a history major/buff, a senior, and I want to go to law school or BUDS School to become a Navy SEAL. As a kid, I began reading the essays of Isaac Asimov for no other reason than I thought it would impress my mom. I was genuinely obsessed with a manned mission to Mars and so I read up on a lot of non-fiction related to space travel and other worlds. I saw Star Wars and some of the old Star Trek episodes as a young teenager, then my aunt got me into Star Trek: Next Generation. I started watching Lost In Space with my family as well. Most recently, my roommate got me hooked on the new Doctor Who series of which I am now a devoted fan.

Levi will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think BUDS stands for Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL, while SEAL stands for Sea, Air and Land teams. The SEALs are U.S. Navy special ops.
ReplyDeleteLevi, are you still interested in a manned Mars mission? And do you have a favorite Doctor?
I feel a little bad for bashing NexGen in class the other day, considering, apparently, you like it. Feel free to argue its good points at any time... if you can think of any...
