About me!

This is my first official blog, so I say "hello" to the 21st century! Well, where to start? I guess I can start off by stating my name, which is James Myrick (I go by Jim). I am currently retired from the United States Army (not by choice). I got injured in Afghanistan in 2008, and even though I fought it tooth and nail, the Army decided to put me on the permanent retirement list. Looking back on it now I ask should ask myself "what the hell were you thinking trying to fight getting retired". I continue to collect a decent pay check from the Army to this day, and I will receive them until I die. Now that I am back into the civilian world, I am a full time college student, and I will be transferring to Oregon State University in the Winter (hopefully). I am a father of a handsome three year old boy named Kasen, and his mother Megan and I have been married for five years now. I am the head J.V. wrestling coach at West Albany High School, and I love every minute of it. I am originally from Georgia, but my wife dragged me out here to the state of Oregon (with plenty of protest on my part). My hobbies have changed from bass fishing to steelhead and salmon fishing. I am very active politically, and I have strong political views. Well this is me in a nutshell.
