July 10, 2008 - Going on Vacation until July 13, 2008. If you send me a message, or any messages arrive that need attention, I'll read them as soon as I return. Update: I have wireless internet connection in the room at the beach. I don't need to be off teh site. =D
When I started thinking way too much about Zombies: I was always a fan of Dawn of the Dead, the new one, and after I read the Zombie Survival Guide I was owned.
What started my zombie fixation: Dawn of the Dead
Favorite Zombie book: World War Z
Favorite Zombie movie: Shaun of the Dead
Personal Motto: (Borrowed from the USAF) Integrity. Service. Excellence.
Favorite quote in any zombie movie: "...Well, dead-ish. They all sort of fell down... and got up... and started eating each other." Steve, Dawn of the Dead
More About Me: I was born in Alabama, lived here my whole life, and I imagine, outside of my military career, I'll live here for the rest of my life. I joined the USAF two months ago, and might possibly make a career out of it on up until retirement. Who knows.
My Weapons: The following weapons are actual weapons that I own, not fantasy weapons. I may at some point list fantasy weapons, but I really have the weapons that I want, save for a couple of pistols.
Proficiencies:
First Aid: I have basic level training in how to treat basic wounds. I can splint a break. Stop bleeding. And I can do the necessary tasks, menial little things like treatment of minor abrasions and bruises.
Disaster Training: How to respond to disasters. E.G.: Actions, clean-up and first aid.
Marksmanship: I spend a hell of a lot of time improving my accuracy with fire-arms. Lately, it's been my AK-47, but before it the 30-06, and I don't believe I can get much better than my shot with the 1200 Model 12 Gauge... of course it's a spread. Oh well.
Survival Training: Though I'm not a boy scout, and never have been, several of my really good friends were, and we spent a lot (A LOT) of time camping. I had this emergency survival handbook that taught me everything from cooking scrambled eggs, to finding out what berries are edible and what leaves you can use to make a plate out of. It really does come in handy. And I'll soon be learning much more from the Military.
Construction: My father worked home construction and vehicle/heavy machinery repair for the entirety of my life, so what I learned from him will keep me prepared for any barricading I may have to do, as well as constructing a fortress for long-term survival.

Wednesday, July 09, 2008 - 2255 pm. I went to the Wal-Mart I designated as my retreat for the time that I'm available in the Shelby County area. They had to bring in an ambulance to cart off a guy who, according to an associate, was projectile-vomiting blood. (The associate is a friend of mine, who will remain unnamed.) So I told my friend who is in on my plan for the Outbreak, and he said that his love-interest (who will also remain unnamed) told him the same damn thing happened at Jasper Wal-Mart. It may very well be a coincidence, but it seemed really awkward. Supposedly the woman in Jasper had TB, according to his Love-interest. Not sure. I'm keeping my ears and eyes out.
Saturday, July 12, 1008 - 1042 am. Gulf Shores, Alabama. Police arrested a "drunk" last night outside of the Steamer, a restaurant. I watched the events unfold outside of Souvenir City along with another group of people. He was snapping at police, and growling. Either he's an insane drunk, or he was infected, because he did not once begin to form a word. Who knows. One of the other guys in the group outside was laughing; the irony was that he swore that it had to be a zombie. I couldn't help but think of you guys.
You scored 80% survivability and 53% kickass-ability!
You were born for z-day. Not only will you be killing zombies left and right, but you will be leading the other survivors. You will be the one making decisions and the person who is looked to for advice. Congratulations.
