Name: Robert W. Tippin
Callsign: Blammo
Occupation: Software Engineer
DOB: 17 JUL 1964
Nationality: Born and raised in the USA
Marrital status: Happily married for just shy of 10 years to the best woman I have ever known
Interests: History, Science Fiction, War Games, Flight Sims, the Bible, Classical Music, Literature (but not snooty stuff).
Family: Mom and Dad, still alive. Sister, who is two years older and lives in Kentucky. Brother, who is 6 years older and lives in Florida. My immediate family is my wife, Stacey, my son (age 4 almost 5) David, and my daughter Jessica (2 years old)
Education and CPU speed: Yes and quite fast enough
Bad habits: Taking myself (and others) to seriously. Procrastination.
Good habits: I am a good listener. I don't give up on things that are important. I am loyal. I love truth.
Worst injury: Broke my ankle/heel the second day of Jump School at Fort Benning, Georgia. Rather than be recycled I spent the next three weeks swallowing pain pills 4 at a time (every few hours) and keeping my foot tightly wrapped. I reported to Fort Bragg not able to walk very well, but I had my Jump Wings
Stupidest injury: Broke my leg at a church youth service while playing a game.
Amibitions: To have enough money and little enough debt, to spend time with my family focusing on the important things.
Regrets: Wasting so much of my youth, time and money on fruitless efforts. Chasing the wrong girls instead of waiting for the right woman. Taking to long to figure out that growing up didn't mean I had to stop having fun. Going along with that, that I took so long to figure out that having fun doesn't mean the things everyone thinks it does.
Favorite AH ride: No single favorite. I think it really depends on what I am going to be doing.
