RE: My First @Ulog Post... an Introduction!
I agree, there is much to be discovered in the Philippines. I don't think it was Pinatubo that kicked us out though... the current administration at the time had a little something to do with it. Did you join the Philippines Armed Forces instead?
Yeah, I know it was the current administration at the time, but it was Pinatubo that served the eviction notice. LOL!
And no, I did not enlist in the AFP as I had originally planned as my backup in case my USN enlistment didn't pan out. I got stricken with bovine tuberculosis after drinking fresh carabao's milk in my frequent trips to a friend's farm in Pampanga.
My illness kept me out of circulation for six months, and when I recovered, I didn't feel the same again. It took about another year again to regain the muscle mass I lost when I was sick.
And the thought of military service slowly fell out of favor, due to the prospect of employment in the animation industry here, where I eventually ended up. :)
Sorry to hear of your troubled past. Hope the road you chose is well paved and smooth going! Sounds like a fun and promising industry to be in these days. Best wishes!
