When I was in the chair I was thinking "Am I getting it in the right location?" I knew I wanted one, and I knew what I wanted, but do you want it down here on your arm or do you want it somewhere on your back where it's covered up when you're wearing a shirt or whatever.

I'm very proud of my career in the Navy. It's an honor to be part of the military in some sort and to do it for going on 22 years now. It's been a lot of hard work, but I probably wouldn't trade it for anything. It helped me grow up. I came in right after high school -- been here ever since. Back home it seemed like everybody was either working at the mall or fast food and I knew I didn't want to do that. My family installs heating and air conditioning and after doing that in high school I knew I didn't want to crawl around in people's attics.
