JeffyB Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The Story of JeffyB (aka DrachenRogue)...I grew up in Minnesota, and decided that I wanted to travel, so I joined the Air Force. And travel I did - Okinawa, Greenland, Germany, Afghanistan... "JeffyB" was born in a DJ booth at the club at Thule, Greenland; "DrachenRogue" was born years earlier though on the grounds of MN Renaissance Festival. And while the years went by, the AF mission "changed" to marathon running; something this 43 year old body (probably) wasn't built to do.Toward the end of (and after) my AF career, I gained a wife and two children. And with the changes of military retirement, career and life, I decided another change was needed, and here I am... an Adventurer on the road to a Ranger. I don't recall how or when I actually found the site, but in reading the stories of others, I decided to share mine, and join them in the quest of leveling up.Active Duty, Round 1 was service to my country; Round 2 is service to the Rebellion...So, here's me, currently: Height: 73"8/5/2012: Weight: 90.2 kg / BF: 27.5% (per Tanita scale) // 199# / 26.36% (per WiiFit)9/16/2012: Weight: 88.2 kg / BF: 26.6% // 195# / 25.8610/14/2012: Weight: 87.5 kg / BF: 25.2% // 193# / 25.54Current Fitness program: walking the occasional 10k volksmarch and jog/walk the occasional 5k fun run/walksMy Level-Up Quests (more to be added):"Dragons" to Slay:- "Closet Dragon" - get rid of/donate old clothes and organize the ones I want to keep- "Garage Dragon" - get rid of/donate/clear out garage; still have items in boxes from over 6 years agoMinor-Short Term: - Reach the 175 and 200 Event and 2000km Volkssport levels by the end of 2014 (currently at 150 events/1500km)- Acquire the Texas Volkssport Association "10 in 10" Program Patch for 2013 (10 walks each year for 10 years; currently in year 7)Minor-Long Term- Purchase new laptop (currently have a 4yr old MacBook)- Purchase mid-tier DSLR body/lenses/kit (to upgrade from the point & shoot that I currently have)- Purchase new vehicle (currently have a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, nicknamed "Cadavalier" by the mechanic...)- Save up and purchase/build a new gazebo/pergola (along with redoing the deck)Major:- Alaska Cruise- Pacific Coast Highway road trip- Attend a major sports event championship game/series (attended NFL-Europe World Bowl game in 2000, but would like to attend one here in the states)- Move to Minnesota (or closer to; still can't get used to the heat here in south Texas, and miss real winters)- Learn fluent German- Learn "Alliance" Chinese (and aimin' to misbehave, "Browncoat"-style)Epic:- Return to Europe, following my Grandfather's "European Vacation" (route taken during WWII with the 3rd Armored "Spearhead" Division) Race: Human / Level: 1 / Current Class: Adventurer / Goal Class: RangerSTR: 2.5 / DEX: 2 / STA: 3.5 / CON: 3.5 / WIS: 4 / CHA: 4.5My Background / Facebook / GoodReads / Flickr / Fitbit~ Take Care, Live Life, and Pray Hard ~ "Our lives are different to anybody else's.

CyningaDena Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Wow, some of your "minor" goals sounds pretty major to me! Your challenge thread looks like you're setting a solid foundation for further awesomeness with the Rangers. Best of luck with the first challenge, and welcome aboard!
