Ohhhh... I'm signing my life away

Attention on deck! Weigh anchor! Nick has enlisted into the United Stated Navy on 11-Oct-06, two days after he turned 18. He would have done it on his birthday, but the government took the day off on "Columbus Day."
Nick practically aced his Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test, scoring a 94 out of 99. The average tester scores ~65. The Navy will take a brain-dead recruit with a 35, so long as the recruit has a high school diploma.


Nick's amazing ASVAB score qualified him to select any Navy job he wanted. After a lot of soul searching, Nick has decided to become an Electrician's Mate... in the Nuclear Field! Nick will attend a couple years of school before ever seeing his first duty assignment and will serve a 7-year patriotic stint.

Following his enlistment, Nick went to the tatoo parlor to get branded.









Nick is known as being an all-around good guy and athlete. Nick affectionately identifies with the "Superman" icon. Nick's friend Chris, who lived has a good part of his young life in Hawai'i, helped to design the tribal markings that create the negative space within the logo. This is the result of two three-and-a-half-hour sessions.
