Computers
I must say that I love to play around on computers. I am presently
going to school to get an Associates Degree in Computer Science at
Saddleback College. Most of
what I know about computers I have learned on my own and already know quite
a bit, receiving my first computer programing Sweepstakes Trophy at the
Orange County Fair back when I was in
the 4th grade. One of the many billets I held in the Marine Corps was to
help maintain our computers, our LAN system, and troubleshoot problems within
our section. While I was there, I also wrote a few marcos which helped simplify
day-to-day operations and hopefully saved you - the taxpayer - some of those
hard earned Dollar$. Recently I taught myself HTML and have
been slowly but surly increasing the complexity of this homepage rightfully
dubbed "Griffon's Playground." I have even made a few animated GIFs a couple
of which you can see below (the one for BPS
Software in particular has been posted to their web site). The next thing
I wish to learn is Java…then we can really start to have some fun! One
of the people helping me in my pursuit of computer knowledge is
Perry "RobDog" Robinson.
You may want to check out his page…not only does he have his own chat
room there, but he has now started to add a series of online games to
play!!

Music/Dancing
I love all sorts of music but I'd have to say that Alternative
is my favorite. What's Alternative music? Well I guess you have to say it
is everything that wouldn't have a chance in hell being played on most radio
stations, yet a song or two always manages to make it to "main-stream"
America…at which point they are ridiculed as sell-outs (hehehe…oh
well that's the way it goes). For those local to the Los Angeles and Orange
County areas, just know that my dial doesn't leave KROQ or Y-107 very often.
I do, however, listen to Country as well. I know, I know…the word country
has a bad flavor for some, but have you every seen the beautiful ladies that
go to country bars and clubs? Trust me…you'll change your tune the same
way that I did (hehehe). I am no Fred Astaire, but I can hold my own on the
dance floor. Besides cutting a rug with the local house band at Casey's and
Off Campus Pub, I've also been known to do the following moves at the Cowboy
Boogie and Midnight Rodeo: Two-Step, Cowboy Cha-Cha, Country Waltz, and the
West Coast Swing. Don't worry I don't do any of those line dances…they
just aren't my style. Hey this just wouldn't be complete without me putting
in a good word for Classical music as well. I'm not to much into the modern
classical stuff but the oldies are definitely goodies.

The Marine Corps
I signed up for the service in June of 1992 and shipped out to
boot camp – MCRD San Diego, CA – the following year in June of
1993, only three days after graduating high school. After doing all the basic
training in boot camp and MCT, I shipped out for training as a Basic Automotive
Mechanic – MCSSS Camp Johnson, NC. In school I managed to keep a high
class rating, allowing me to continue into the advanced course. I graduated
at the top of my class as a 3522 in June of 1994, earning a meritorious
promotion. After graduating schooling, I shipped back out to the west coast
to Camp
Pendleton, CA. There I finished my last three years of my active tour
with 1st Maintenance Battalion, 1st FSSG. When did I go overseas??
Well…NEVER (hehehe). I did, however, participate in several operations
with CSSDs while I was stationed there. To include CAX, WTI, and DesFireX.
My End of Active Service was in June of 1997. I have since been transferred
to the Inactive Ready Reserve, where I am currently serving out the end of
my obligated service until June of 2000.
