I'm a Combat Medic in the GA Army Nat'l Guard. I returned from Iraq in May 2006. I'm finishing up college and hope to graduate in August. I plan to go to OCS and PA school.I don't know what else to say. I'm a pretty simple man. I can't get enough stand-up comedy. Laughter is the best medicine for anything. I also am a movie </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valhallaquest.blogspot.com/feeds/5945464634937349186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6538536646013380672&amp;postID=5945464634937349186' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6538536646013380672/posts/default/5945464634937349186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6538536646013380672/posts/default/5945464634937349186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valhallaquest.blogspot.com/2007/04/who-am-i.html' title='Who am I?'/><author><name>Viking Medic</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-n9bim1ME/SsYyOnHP7MI/AAAAAAAAACk/q_H4XiD87vU/S220/PA020019.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538536646013380672.post-4779540861337090904</id><published>2007-04-12T21:44:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-12T21:46:21.277-04:00</updated><title type='text'>My Quest Begins</title><summary type='text'>I have decided to begin my quest for Valhalla through blogging!
