33, currently living in Munich/Germany. Half Italian/half german.

Studied law for five years at University until I realized most lawyers are hypocrite and selfish idiots. Now executive in IT-industry.

Currently trying to balance life between work, fiancée and OFP. Love surfing, wintersports and scuba diving, music, books, computers and I am a movie addicted too.

As you can see all this fits nowhere in a 24h day, so my life basically is a huge time management project atm. crazy_o.gif

26 year old Scotsman living in Norway (27 in just over a week crazy_o.gif) .

Currently attending my 2nd year at nurses college (with loads of good lookin' scandinavian chicks tounge_o.gif).

Before that I worked as a ROV Pilot/Technician (trainee), and I also worked in a workshop as a automation apprentice and a forklift driver in a warehouse.

Being a British citizen, I dogded being drafted into the Norwegian Military. I was however a volunteer in the Norwegian TA youth from age 16 - 20 (TA = Territorial Army). I might enlist as a nurse when I've finnished college.

To be honest, I don't know how I get time to play OFP, since I'm involved with all kinds of things in my spare time. I'm actively involved in the local student community, helping to run the local student pub etc. I'm also a volunteer in the Norwegian Red Cross Search and Rescue Corps, taking part in search and rescue operations. IN addition I'm a First Aid instructor and also ambulance personell through the Red Cross.

27, male, studying educational and social sciences @ Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University, Frankfurt. Main focuses are education of adults and organizational sociology. To earn some money to spend for new hardware (to make OFP look better), wine (to drink while playing a challenging round of CTI) and - absolutely futile - women (to sicken them by sitting in front of a PC, playing war) I work at the university as a servant for my Lord And Master.

Besides that I am voluntarily engaged in the german Red Cross, qualifying young men and women for leadership functions in emergency services and civil defense and sometimes saving lives by myself as a paramedic.

I like sport (rowing, squash, simply running through forests - often even without a paintball marker! - and cycling some weeks cross Europe), wine - mentioned it before, I think - and the fine art of cooking, as only men can truely celebrate. Furthermore, I really like all kinds of music I like, especially jazz (that is a lot by the word itself).

29 (the big 3-0 in January), Austin TX, state government lackey.

Have a useless degree in Communication Arts (ie media) with a concentration in English.

Currently going back to school (while working) to get a degree in Aerospace Engineering.

Recently got married (Sept. 28th) to a great woman who puts up with my crap.

Time is split between wife, school and work. Doesn't leave much in between.

Also currently looking to defect from current country to either Europe or Japan. We're gonna wait and see if Dubya manages a win next November. If he does I'll probably be seein' ya in Europe.

Well that is a pretty serious choice, but you know I won't be talking you out of it. biggrin_o.gif You're still young so it is completely doable. smile_o.gif (AFAIK right after getting married is a good time to make a move)
