If I remember I will scan the id later tonight. Never turned it in after I got out since they didn't ask for it. Not that I can use it for anything though, it expired several years ago after I was out. Just having the picture to show off makes it worth keeping, lol.

Received my copy last night and this is a beautiful book! I am tempted to put aside what I am reading to read this but I will try to resist. I inadvertently received two copies. I am working with Paul to get the second copy back to him.

Great stuff, Martin! Hope you dig it when you get to it.
And for anyone still interested in picking up the s/l, I believe Camelot Books still have a few copies in stock.
Ok Kealan, was going to post this last night, but forgot I had my printer unplugged since it is getting trashed due to it no longer printing (pretty sure a roller is broken, preventing paper from getting into the part that actually prints, and not being worth repairing), so instead took pictures of the picture part of my old id. The first picture was with the flash on, which didn't work, but I do like it anyway since it makes it look like most of my head is missing, lol
And here it is without text. I will say the picture seems more on the creepy side when looking at the physical id than at the picture, at least to me. That and I don't know what the mark is by my nose, it's not something that is actually on me, and it's not something I can see without taking a picture. The picture has been in my wallet for years though, so it's undoubtedly dirty and has small dents/scratches.
In the picture I basically look like someone who is perhaps a little crazy and ready to on a shooting spree or something, which some people actually played up in my unit, lol. Even my First Sergeant got into the act and how I would be in a tower or on the roof with a rifle and a bucket of chicken (gotta have my nourishment, after all, and I do love me some fried chicken). Hell, I found out one day some people fell for it because the day after we had some kind of company gathering. During the gathering one of my friends was talking crap about me behind my back but where I would obviously hear what he said. What I didn't hear and he told me about the next morning at work was that one of new guys in the unit got nervous and and said quietly "He's right there!" in a scared whispering voice. Now THAT was hilarious
People who knew me though knew it wasn't serious, and my neighbor told me she knew I was actually a nice guy. We had to cut the crazy act when we went to Iraq though, which was understandable.
