User:ED

Hello. I am ED.

I am an Admin here at Halopedia. I joined on October 10, 2005 as "Ed", but during the transfer of domains, I had to change to "ED". I am a fanatic for writing, which is why I am here. I am enrolled at the Ohio University Scripps school of Journalism, majoring in news editing. I wanna be a bamf when I grow up. Hmm, well about me. I live in a little corner of Ohio that is always too cold in the morning and always windy when it's too cold. Lived here all my life, but don't let that fool you; I'm out of here as soon as I graduate from OU. My team is the PITTSBURGH STEELERS. I think I'm the only Halopedian who actually has a job, though I can't say my job at Burger King is really all that exciting. It makes me enough money to drive to school in the morning, hang out with my ladyfriends (Oh, I have many of them.) and generally enjoy my senior year of High School. When I'm not doing any of that, I'm here. Sorry folks, the real world has always taken precedence in my mind. A perspective for you: When I joined Halopedia, we had roughly 275 articles and about 100 registered users. Dragonclaws was the only active community member then that is still active today. Exactly one year after I joined, our article counter hit 1,000. I also think it's safe to say that I have either created or overhauled most of the articles here at Halopedia. If you wanna know more about me, I got a myspace. ask me for the URL sometime. Best Halopedia Edits • Online Game Logs • Personal Sandbox

ED's background with the military

So you see, RR and a bunch of other people give a testament to my knowledge of the intricacies of the US Military. To be frank: I'm not a nerd who just sits around studying up on this stuff. I have firsthand experience with the US military and hopefully, that will remain the case for a long time. Here are my qualifications: US AIR FORCE JUNIOR ROTC: OH-081st SQUADRON 2003 - 2005 I was a member of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFJROTC) Ohio 81st Cadet Squadron for my first two years of High School. I took four courses in JROTC: Aerospace Science I, Aerospace Science II, Advanced Drill and Ceremonies, and Summer Leadership School. I was also a member of four JROTC marching teams: Inspected Drill Routine (IDR), Armed Inspected Drill Routine, Saber Team, and Honor Guard, as well as the Kitty Hawk Air Society. My experiences in JROTC were amazing, and include two weeks of rigorous training at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, commanding an honor guard in presenting the colors during the national anthem of a Cincinnati Reds baseball game, and flying on missions in a C-141 Starifter of the 445th Airlift Wing and a KC-135 Stratotanker of the 121st Air Refueling Wing. There are countless others. When I left JROTC, I had a total of sixty four awards, including four medals and twenty ribbons. My rank was cadet Chief Master Sergeant. US ARMY ROTC: BOBCAT BATTALION 2007 - Present I am enrolled in Army Reserve Officers Training Corps at Ohio University, the "Buckeye Battalion." I intend to get a comission as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army Armor Branch. I'll add more here about ROTC when I can.
