And all I got was this lousy T-Shirt
Heh.
Reminds me of a conversation I had while en route to Blackwater. I got in a cab to the hotel after landing at the airport. Tell the guy the hotel I’m going to. And he asks why I’m in town. The conversation goes like this:
Me: I’m heading to Blackwater.
Cabbie: Who are you with? DOD? DOJ? Marines?
Me: No, I’m just some guy.
Cabbie: Oh, right. Ok, then.
Heh.

You might as well have just said “I’m NSA.” 😀

Seriously, or maybe CIA.
Living here (I met the all of the bloggers except you two that weekend), I doubt you’d find anyone who would believe that “just some guy” would be at Blackwater. Between the military bases and the marine terminals, it’s hard to find anyone around here that doesn’t work for some government alphabet group or another, though most here are either DoD or a DoD contractor.
Tam’s post did get me thinking a little more seriously again about taking some of the classes there though. It’s not like I have to travel that far.

Shoulda told him, “Even worse. I’m a blogger…

Yeah, the best part about saying “I’m just a dude” when you’re heading to blackwater is that the cabbie then probably though you were some kind of high speed low drag death-dealing ninja.

Robert Deniro was “Just some guy” in Ronin.
