    Gone down a zipline naked and let go over a pond that had only thawed out a month after winter ended.

    Made a ramp and jumped my bicycle over a bonfire. (hair singed everywhere!!)

    I've done a lot....there's graduating from boot camp, traveling the world, giving birth, becoming a paramedic, BEING a paramedic, etc.


    The MOST badass thing I've actually done is getting drunk and telling my best friend how I felt about him....



    We're married now. :love:

    Quit a decent job with benefits to move to Italy with a boyfriend.
    Took a job in South Korea without knowing anyone there, and had the balls to quit after being sexually assaulted and miserable for four months.
    Then, only a couple months later, took a job in Moscow without knowing anyone here...

    Not even close to as badass as most of you, but it's definitely a different kind of adventure :)

    I got drunk at the north pole, "wrote" my name in the snow, and then took a picture on the infrared camera on my submarine that will forever be saved in the Naval Archives.

    The other most badass thing I've done is getting drunk and telling my best friend how I felt about her....



    We're married now. :bigsmile:

    I don't like to talk about my deployments in the Army (I was an infantry medic), but honestly the most badass thing I've done was treating a soldier who was hit with a grenade in the middle of a firefight. I ran across the street, grabbed his vest just like I was trained to do and dragged him behind a parked car where I went to work on him. I'm quite proud to say he lived to tell the tale, but sad that he is missing his left leg below the knee.

    Other than that, in high school my best friend and I drove the 3 hours north from our hometown to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, ate some dinner, slept a few hours then hiked/ran the 20-ish miles to the North Rim, had lunch, changed socks, and hiked the 20 miles back. Completed the rim-to-rim-to-rim in about 18 hours.
    Dumbest thing I've ever done to date. I was wrecked for a week afterwards. But we still talk about it.

    Probably the 100+MPH police chase I got in with my motorcycle when I was 16. Then we built a motocross track with my dad's bulldozers in our back lawn. Or the time I did 172MPH on my brothers crotch rocket. Or making big profit with stocks. Or becoming a stay at home dad. Or most recently doing our own timing belt on my wife's Acura-that saved us about $1000.00 I dont know. Oh, shooting accurately at 300 yards. That's pretty badass. Bench pressing 315 lbs. That was a lot for me. Or going back to college and getting remarried after my first wife left me. That was pretty badass.

    pulled my son out dead underwater in a swimming pool & gave him CPR for what felt like eternity until he gave a little cough & opened his eyes,
    all very by the book & under control, but when he was ok I cried for about an hour

    Took down my fourth grade teacher back in the 1950's. Such things were unheard if then. That was back when they could paddle kids.
    I didn't hit him or anything, just taught him a lesson.

    A man tried to stab me in the chest once, he was successful, but I beat him mercilessly after taking the knife from him. He didn't expect that I was wearing a vest.

    I held my dog as he breathed his last. That was one time that the abyss stared into me.

    ETA - oh yeah... forgot this one, it's a good one.
    Did the Donner Pass run, 120mph average speed 156mph peak, 3am, going towards Auburn.

    I spent a couple years hopping freight trains around North America with my dog Tofu (who is sleeping at my feet right now).

    I started a two-person acrobatic dance troupe with a friend. We started out performing between bands at shows but ended up with a regular gig at a fancy cabaret club.

    Took LSD in an abandoned amusement park in New Orleans on Day of the Dead.
