    My list is not as impressive......

    I was also on the campus activities board at my college @MARanger :) and I met a lot of very cool and talented individuals:

    Yamil Piedra and Johnny Trabanco
    (A Pair of Nuts) really down to earth and funny guys

    Larry Bagby (actor, musician)
    He’s been in a few commercials and lots of movies. Really nice guy and funny too

    Jonathan Kingham (musician)
    Super cool guy! Very talented musician.

    In 1992, I worked at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio (now known as Six Flags) at the main roller coaster attraction. Most stars who where appearing at the shows, always wanted to ride The Rattler!

    So I was fortunate enough to meet the following people:

    Tanya Tucker
    Nice lady

    Charley Pride
    Nice man

    Gerardo Mejia (Rapper - best known for Rico Suave - Lol)
    He was a nice guy, and funny.....when he handed me his cap to hold for him while he rode the coaster, his long hair (pony tail) was still attached to the cap and bandana underneath..... I gave him a “wtf” look and he just shrugged his shoulders and said “My mom would kill me if I let my hair grow that long for real!” Made me laugh and I thought that was sweet/cute.

    Still waiting to meet Dwayne Johnson and JJ Watt someday......... *sighs*

    Living in Vegas you should've ran into Flava Flav at least once... we did. We also got near Jay-Z when he was gambling at Caesars and saw Frank Mir at the Hawaiian festival.

    Yep, I'm quite familiar with ITAR. Although I substituted the last word. We do a lot of work in Yokosuka, Okinawa and Bahrain. I can't bring unclassified information there, not hard or electronic copy. Official travel, shipping or electronic copies. I also understand about approved for public release. The company I used to work for made made animatronics for theme parks. They made the dinosaurs for Universal Japan's Jurrasic Park exhibition. Disney security is insane. The first time I visited that site they were saying tell us about submarines, I said f submarines, I want to see the dinosaurs.

    Back on topic, I've met many admirals, famous in the USN community, probably not so much elsewhere. 3 or 4 stars that I've had ass chewings from or spent time drinking and shooting the breeze with.

    Surprisingly I haven’t. I’ve seen several celebrities (Flav not being one of them). My kid went to the same elementary school as Floyd Mayweather Jr’s daughter so we used to see him a lot. We also used to shoot archery at a place near his gym and would see him there too. Never met him though. Dennis Rodman at the airport. Saw 50 Cent at the M resort. Lots of B list actors in around the casinos.

    Im sure the limelight isn't great for everyone. I honestly wondered if being deaf factored into it. But yes, it was disappointing.
