I was in the Army for 4 years, in the Signal Corps.

Am fully trained as a Fighting Geek; can assemble an M-16 in <45 seconds,
hit the broadside of a barn in less than 3 attempts, and can throw live
grenades without blowing self up. Trained in hard-to-hand combat too, but
why bother when you've got a viable target range of 500 meters ;-) ?
