Ex cruise ship worker/party goer haha. Been with rod (Lilith) coming up 2 years at the end of the year. Plans for the future... Definitely Travel more, I got the travel bug! Then maybe open a salon either in the UK or maybe settle aboard somewhere ... Wishful thinking and all that! Massive horoscope fan, if you'd like to know anything around that I can help! Hudge gamer fan, growing up with two brothers will do that to a girl my last game I completed was fallout 4.. Definitely recommend. Always quite the honest person if you ask an opinion I'll give you my answer even if it may come across brutal at times ha! Anyway other then that I have nothing much else to report. I'm pretty boring

I'm AJ, 30 from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. I've been e-fedding for about 14 years maybe longer. Work/worked in retail and customer service mainly, married to Carly (Ana Valentine) and we have three kids...that's really it I'm actually quite boring
I am 29 (AJ is my SUGGA DADDEH lol) and I was born in Essex, lived there for 15 years, then I moved to Gibraltar and lived between Gibraltar and spain for 14 years before I moved to Australia this December past - I have been efedding for longer than I care to admit and it is actually how AJ and I met.
I have worked in the Gambling industry and fraud prevention since I was 15, however I am not a freelance photographer - I do mainly kids and weddings but sometimes I get to do some cool shoots too - I am oficially registering as a trading business soon so that is an exciting new step.
I am have a ten y/o daughter a 5 y/o stepson and a 4yo son and want AT LEAST two more because I am a crazy person and love babies!
I spend my free time DIYing things for the kids room and collecting funko pops - I love to DIY pretty much everything and am slowly dabbling into basic cosmetology for my shoots. I speak the most basic Spanish known to man and am a HUGE dork, so much so that I out dork the husband on the regular lol.
I am odd and sometimes a total bitch, but if I am a bitch, it's cause they pushed me to it lol - I blather on when I am given the chance (like this haha) - but am generally not all that interesting a person XD
I have a real name, but I go mostly by my call sign "II" (pronounced Deuce). Basically because I'm the shit, or shitty, depending on who you ask...
When I grew up, I became a professional sailor, and later a soldier for 11 years. Did 8 years in the United States Navy as a Search and Rescue swimmer, before switching over to the Army because I didn't get promoted fast enough in the Navy, even though I had taken an exam and actually would have been promoted over the cutoff point (fucking bureaucracy) if the Navy wasn't so adamant about getting rid of people, only to scream six months later that they were severely undermanned. Ironically enough, after my initial training in the Army, I went and taught mostly amphibious warfare for deploying soldiers, as I had already deployed three times with the Navy and had the combat experience.
I deployed once to Afghanistan, once to the Caribbean/South America, and did a UN deployment to West Africa and Bosnia. After my 11 years, I did more work for the government for 3 more years that has come to an end due to... issues. Needless to say, I don't agree with the US stance regarding some of what they do. To be more blunt, I don't trust my government anymore, and the feelings are mutual. I currently work a shitty manufacturing job with the hopes of leaving the States to go and travel to the places I WANT to go, rather than where the government tells me to go.
Overall, I'm not thrilled about what I've done with my life, but at least I have a ton of skills and can survive wherever I land. I speak a half dozen languages with varying degrees of fluency (mostly Western European languages), and can understand many more (such as Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, and a few more from the Middle East and Central Asia).
It's an interesting life, but not one I would wish on anybody. I've suffered a lot of personal losses as a result of this life. Marriages ruined, friendships lost, brothers lost both to combat and suicide, alcoholism (mostly under control), and behavioral health issues.
This is why I write, so I can at least get away from my life for a little while. My other hobbies also include karaoke, martial arts, marksmanship, yoga, smoking cigars, taxidermy, and rewriting songs to fit my warped attitudes (Such as Kid Rock's "American Badass", which I changed to "American Asshole".)
