Krazee



My name is James and I am 40 years old. I live in the great state of Virginia. I have 3 kids, 2 that live in Texas with their mother and 1 that lives here with me. I like golf, fishing, and playing games on the computer and I am hooked on COD4. I don't work anymore due to having a double lung transplant in Septermber of 2005. I spent 6 yrs in the U.S. Army at Ft. Hood, TX. When I got out I drove a beer truck for Coors for a little while, man that had some fringe benefits, lol. Then I went to work for the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice as a Correctional Officer. Did that for 7 years before I moved back to Virginia in 2000 and did the same thing here until my lungs went to crap. So here I sit, a proud member of the 7th Cavalry, and you will have to kill me to get me out.
—Brigadier General Krazee
